My husband and I have been going to Galena and staying at the Irish Cottage each time. We love to stay there. The in-house spa is amazing!! Well worth the splurge to go and spend a quality weekend away. The rooms are great, and the grounds the hotel are on have an amazing view. Would recommend this to anyone who... more

Our first time in Galena will be a very memorable one, thanks in part to The Irish Cottage Hotel! I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a quiet Valentine's Day getaway somewhere that neither one of us had been to within a short commute. The Irish Cottage offered a not your typical cookie cutter hotel experience, which was fitting for... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a couple nights and loved it. It was a little pricey but for a splurge we got the whirlpool room. (definitely worth the extra cash) The library was nice and relaxing and the on-sight restaurant/bar was very convenient. Also, we really enjoyed the live entertainment and the couples massage at the spa (also... more

The web site implies a quaint B&B atmosphere with named rooms. This is a typical hotel with touristy Irish touches, some which work, most that don't. The adjoining pub has terrible service and average foot. Breakfast is disappointing and the hot breakfast arrived cold and out of a box. The Wild Clover Day spa was the only bright spot and... more

The Irish Cottage in Galena is a charming boutique hotel, complete with Irish pub that offers live entertainment, and a spa. Our suite had a whirlpool which definitely added a romantic touch. The hotel is in a great location and the owners also own one of the best restaurant in Galena - 111 on Main. Great service, fun and charming... more

What a treasure this hotel is!! We were treated like royalty during our stay here. Their "Snuggle Up" package was a great value. The room was beautiful, the food and the service here were top notch. And waking up in the morning to smell of fresh scones baking made the day start off perfectly...and then to have a breakfast basket... more

This place was well worth the price. Very clean and comfortable. Restaurant has good food and entertainment in the evening. They serve a basket of bagel, juices, yogurt to your room for breakfast at no extra charge or you can go downstairs for cereals, oatmeal, etc at no charge. The staff was excellent, will definately stay here again. more

My husband and I stayed at The Irish Cottage Hotel this past weekend (Oct 29th and 30th, 2009). We have been to Galena many times, driven past the hotel and never thought to stay there. As our usual B&Bs were full, we booked a room at the Irish Cottage Hotel and were VERY impressed. Our room was clean, the restaurant... more

We stayed in a non-smoking room surrounded by all non-smoking rooms and our room still smelled like smoke. The hallway smelled too. The staff was also rude at check out as they had added fees to our room for extra people and acted like we were idiots for asking questions about it. When a room is booked for four people,... more
