8/10 Good

Nice resort, aged, no elevator. Basic but all you need if you want to be active and out doors.
Karen, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Room was clean. Beds comfy. Pool and hot tub were nice! Restaurant food was okay. A little pricey but you do get good portions and it is convenient. We did the alpine slide that was fun!! Mini golf was good too. Beautiful views of the river. Charming place. Has a small arcade in the basement. Only drawback if you stay on upper floors is that there is no elevator.
Gina, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Should have elevator
Hardik, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

They have a lot of summer activities on the property which make for a great getaway. Close to Galena as well for shopping, history, and restaurants. The only two issues with the property are that it is a little old and has some wear in areas, but really not a big deal. The major issue my wife and I had were the comfort of the beds and pillows though, we just couldn't really get a good nights sleep. We won't be returning because of that, but I think it's kind of a subjective thing and others may not have that experience.
Justin, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Place is definitely very very outdated when you walk in you get an old people home mixed w humidity smell. Hotel is very very outdated. The pull out bed mattress had holes and springs sticking out could not use it. I would not recommend.
MARIA, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

No exercise room. Game room needs something different, like a pool table.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was a relaxing and charming place for the entire family. They are operational all year round.Their restaurant offered delicious foods and overlooking an awesome view of the Mississippi River. Their staffs are friendly and accommodating. Though they don’t have elevators, it’s not too bad coz their stairs are short and easy to climb. They have a decent-sized pool with dry sauna and hot tub. A great relaxation spot indeed! Outside they have a great scenery for walking, mini Golf course. And for adventure seekers,Skiing (winter Season), the Ski Lift, Alpine Slide and the Soaring Eagle zipline.
Marilyn, 4-night trip

Tranquil setting near Galena

Great resort close to Galena and wineries. Friendly staff and good food at decent prices. Rooms were clean but not fancy but overall worth the price.
