Search hotels in Galena

Galena has a very rich history. A simple way to enhance your learning is to take the Trolley Tour. Then go to the many shops. One quality shop is Union Leather. Prices are well below what you see in retail! The quality of their merchandise is way above what you would expect for the price. Another gem is Poopsies. Great selection of gifts from the educational to the farcical. Hard to believe for a tourist location. The restaurants are a treat from the Galena Wine Gallery which has really good food and wines to the Log Cabin for a meal you won't forget. If you like Italian the Viny Vanuchi (sp) is a couple flights up but top notch Italian. Dirty Gertz on the farther north end of main is a good lunch spot. Do not forget the popcorn shop! Their fudge is the best! Be sure to go to Grant's home to take the tour.. more history. To cover what Galena has to offer would take a book. You will find that book free in many locations.

Galena is a charming town. We were only passing through so spent just one night. Be sure to take time to visit the historic downtown area with many restaurants and shops. Ulysses Grant home was lovely to visit. Blaum Bros Distillery has a nice bar but mediocre tour of the small distillery area. Our guide was terrific though. Stayed at the Irish Cottage Inn and Suites. Suited all our needs for the night.

we love all the cute shops and the restaurants in the area, the people are very friendly, the town itself is so neat to visit, lots to do from shopping, and dining to just taking a ride around town seeing all the old buildings will be back again.

Took the girlfriend for a weekend getaway. A town I've never been to before. Walked the town and obviously did a fair amount of visiting the stores. I enjoyed the bed and breakfast experience as opposed to a traditional hotel stay.

Galena has a nice downtown where you could spent some evenings. But it would be much cooler if all these shops and coffee bars didn't close so early in the evening. This is a kind of resort town, not a sleeping neighborhood, isn't it? :)

Need to get busing services from hotels to downtown shopping areas from the hotels especially on weekends.Jo Davies county transportation web sight said it was closed on weekends. They had Kick off to Christmas with crafts, ice skating, shopping activities and fireworks but limited parking was available and it was $10 per vehicle to park or free parking for a couple of hours. Not sure if we will return because of all the extra expense we had to pay for two vehicles to get the 6 of us there and park. Food prices were high, but most unliked thing was for our party of 6 didn't matter were we went no one would let us have our own bill. They would only do 1 check for everyone. That made it hard knowing who owed for what all the time. Customers should be able to get their food and especially drink bills how they want them. We ate mostly downtown lunch and dinner except for once we went to a Mexican restaurant on our way back to our hotel and the billing was the same way. Your roads were very bumpy. We drove our personal vehicles during the day and used a private shuttle mini bus at night. Our driver was a hoot, but should not talk and drive with passengers. Will probably avoid coming there again for a weekend shopping trip with the girls because of the things mentioned above. This was the census of others that we met at breakfast as well. They were told their was shuttles that stopped at hotels hourly as well. There were less of them so they used Uber but nothing was available for 6 or more for 3 hours and stores close early on weekends. Need more open restrooms as well. They are far and inbetween for women that like their coffee and hot coco do to the cold weather.
