Irish Cottage Inn & Suites

Great location. Front desk staff was friendly & helpful. We enjoyed the property and all that it included - walking path, afternoon tea, pool/hot tub, and restaurant/bar even though the restaurant was closed on Monday except for breakfast. The restaurant even had free live entertainment & bartender and waitress were very attentive. Centrally located to downtown Galena (less than a miles) and other historical attractions (some a 2–3-minute ride away). Hotel offered free shuttle service (did not use) however it ran until 7pm and was on-demand. I would certainly book this property again although booking.com charged me an extra $100 even though it was not quoted, and I paid hotel at time of arrival (waiting to hear back from booking.com regarding this extra, unexpected $100 charge).

We stayed for 3 nights. The King Suite (separate bedroom & jacuzzi tub) was perfect! Our room was on the first floor, with a parking spot directly outside of our rooms sliding glass door, which made keeping an eye on our motorcycles easy. The room was very clean, comfortable, modern & charming. The entire hotel is amazing! So much old world Irish charm! Amazing woodwork, and stained/leaded glass details. The library…I’ve never stayed in a hotel with a library before!So cool! The staff that I interacted with were wonderful! Frank O’Doud’s Irish Pub is such a gem! My husband and I aren’t really ‘bar people’, but we ended up sending quite a bit of time at Frank’s because the atmosphere is so cool, and the food is amazing!!! The live music is good, too! It really makes you feel like you’re in an authentic Irish Pub! They provide a complimentary buffet-style breakfast at Frank’s that we really enjoyed. There is a shuttle service from the hotel to downtown Galena. We didn’t use the shuttle service (only because we prefer to ride our motorcycles around), but we chatted with the shuttle driver for a bit (I think his name is Brian?), and he’s a really cool dude! I highly recommend Irish Cottage Inn!

The bar was a lot of fun. The room was cleaning ladies were great. Parking was good. The restaurant feels like a pub. and the Entertaiment was pretty good. And the rooms were clean.

Room was very comfy and very clean. Desk staff was very professional. Breakfast was fantastic - it was quite a treat to be served a complimentary breakfast in the dinning room of the hotel's restaurant. The dinning room was amazing - charming, spacious, comfortable, classy-casual. The Breakfast attendant was on top of things and friendly, and the food was delicious.

Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Great architecture, amenities, and beautiful on the inside. You actually felt like you’re on a real vacation when you stay here we couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was an awesome trip.
