The breakfast menu was fresh and staff all around to help with whatever you needed. Same with the rooms, we were there for an extended weekend, and everything was at our fingertips, if we needed something more, we just had to ask. Didn't need to leave the property for a good time, but just had to explore downtown Galena.
