Check in was bad. No one came up front for about ten minutes. I was pushing the bell that didn’t work. I kept opening and closing the door and still no one came up front. A noisy party was going on in back room
It was very dirty and incredibly small. You could hear a cricket snoring in the other room the walls were so thin. The TV didn't work on most occasions as well. I wouldn't do it again if I had the choice. It was a last minute choice as I had to find something quick for the weekend. Do yourself a favor and find something that costs more and decent.
The staff was very friendly! The room was clean, quiet and comfortable! It was everything we needed.

Room was clean. Lots of pillows. New bathroom fixtures. Right outside of Galena. The only issue was the noise outside the motel.

It was a road side Motel, that upped it's price for the weekend events that were taking place in Galena. If you can sleep through a steady "dripping" noise, wasn't water, not sure exactly what is was, could have been the heater kicking on, very annoying
Clean and spaciius room. Beds were good. The only negative was the dog next door that barked every breath until its owners returned. They left it alone in the room and the relentless barking was aggravating.
