This was a nice spot for a quick trip to Galena. We needed a hotel that included an EV charger on site which was offered by this hotel. It was also nice to have an onsite restaurant and bar. The activities were a little expensive but a fun bonus none the less. The views are outstanding!

Great service. Let us check in 4 hours before because we arrived early and were tired. Rooms are on smaller side, but are clean and beds are medium firm, which is what i like. Room service was good as well. Plenty of fun activities for kids and adults alike. Overall satisfied and will visit again.

The stay was nice and quiet! The resort amenities were fun but very expensive . The overall hotel and room was musty/dry smelling, I think it was from the carpets. The decor and style is very old and nothing is updated. If you just need a decent place to stay where you aren’t going to spend all your vacation time it will do the job. Staff was pleasant for the most part.
