    Galena is a spendy spot so we chose the least expensive place we could. Good for the one night we needed.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The room was clean but very dated, the bed was horrible and my husband and I did not get a good nights sleep. They provided coffee, fruit and some other items for breakfast. The location is great but it is not worth the money, the room had a damp potentially mildew smell and could be the old carpeting. I wouldn’t stay here again, only did because it was the cheapest I could find in the area for one night.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was a nice clean room with everything we needed. Mini fridge, microwave, TV, comfortable bed, blow dryer, and shower. All for a price that didn't leave you broke!

    We didn’t stay for too long just a quick overnight, but the walls are pretty thin so we could hear lots of activity next-door. The bed was comfortable for a quick easy no-frills stay great place for a great price.

    Sucked

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    While the room was clean , the bathroom was not . There was hair in the bathtub drain , floor needs to be bleached and there was a take out container of old food under the bathroom sink. I immediately tossed it into garbage outside .also the swimming pool area was mainly clean but it needs to be skimmed . Staff was friendly at check in .

    Basic rooms but the family who run it were very sweet and did little things like turn on the A/C in the room before you arrive, or leave a bottle of water for you. It's a motel, so you don't expect much, any little added touch shows they care about the place, and it is clean and well-run. Would definitely stay there again. Really comfortable beds, too.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    It was way overpriced for a motel with well water, that was old & rundown. The location was not great either.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    It was conveniently located to Galena downtown the rooms were very clean and comfortable they could upgrade the toilet paper they use was very thin and there is no coffee maker in the room but the people that work there I assume they owned it we're super nice and very helpful

    We only stayed one night. The bed was very small and not very comfortable l. The bedspread had noticeable stains and the shower/tub had hairs in it. We did enjoy the fire pit and pool. But overall for the cost of $150 a night it was pretty nasty.

    The beds are of poor quality, so if you have a bad lower back, your going to be in bad shape. Suggestion, bring a bed topper and your own pillow. You'll be glad you did. Outside pool is pleasant enough to dip in and sunbathe. They have white LED lights in the room, so if you're not a big fan of those (I'm not) you'll have to deal with it. I bought some soft yellow at Walmart to ease the brightness. You're less than 5 minutes from DT Galena. Gas/Convenient store is just down the road. Drugstore is west on route 20, 5 minutes away. Walmart for Everything is 5 minutes-ish.

    Couldn’t get away fast enough.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Was okay, wasn't what I expected from the pictures, a few bugs dead on the floor, obviously they just sprayed or the room wasn't used that much. Plan on coming again but bring my RV at least I know what I'm getting for the money. The night ended being the highest for room rate, and I had a brand new premium room at Rochester, Minn. For 136.00 had a small gym, cycle, 500 sq. Suite all in the room. Went from 5 star to a 1 star over night. I didn't take pictures but probably should of.

    The room was pretty Musty smelling. I was stuffed up until I went outside. But otherwise the room was fine. We swam 3 different times and 2 of the times we were completely alone! One time a couple and there little kids were there about 15 minutes. We were in the back of the building so it's lower level. Nice fire pit and chairs outside your door. You can walk across the back lawn to the Distillery next door which was nice. Only complaint is that they need to get that Musty smell out of the rooms. But the room was clean and fresh bedding. We would stay here again.

    If you like to just pull up to your room and quickly unload rather than struggle with a cart trying to find an elevator, this is the place for you. It was clean and the beds were comfy. We would stay there again.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff was very nice and helpful.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Love staying here but the beds are always brutal and need replaced. The pool is great!

    The room was clean and the staff was helpful and friendly.
