"Room was clean, staff was friendly and exceptional. Little breakfast room was quaint, offered many options for a quick breakfast. It was nice to talk with the other guests and manager there. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again plus it’s dog friendly! Thank you for a nice stay."
"The room was very clean, and we enjoyed the fireplace and whirlpool. My husband forgot his laptop at the hotel and they were kind enough to send it to him (it worked fine). Very nice staff and very helpful. Would stay here again."
"This is our second stay at the Irish Cottage Inn, the first being during Covid. So we were delighted to see tea, scones, and cucumber sandwiches set out in the afternoon in the lobby when we arrived. Off the lobby is a lovely library room where one can enjoy some quiet time. There is also an small on-sight gift shop with Irish-themed items that was fun to check out. The staff was friendly and courteous. We didn't encounter any issues during our stay.
Our previous room faced the back of the property and overlooked a small meadow and woods. This time, our room faced the front and was on the entry floor of the parking lot (we usually request an upper floor, but I don't recall that the Expedia reservation gave us the option to request something like that). In any case, we weren't as thrilled with the placement of the room, but it was very clean and the bed was comfortable (although the cushions on the chairs were extremely hard). The fitness room was average in terms of equipment, the pool was fine, but the hot tub looked a bit cloudy, so I didn't try it out.
One of the bonuses of this property is that it includes a great restaurant--Frank O'Dowd's Pub which has live music during some evenings, and this is also where a really nice breakfast is served in the morning. The breakfast included hot offerings (with _real_ scrambled eggs, bacon, and cinnamon French toast the day we were there) as well as fresh fruit, nicely flavored and textured oatmeal, and fresh bread and scones."
"Excellent location! Parked for the weekend & didnt need to bother with the car until we left. Assigned parking spot is worth part of the room fee & well worth it! Galena is a parkibg nightmare! I'd live in this apartment if i lived full-time in Galena. Beautifil, clean & furnished with comfortable beds & nice appliances!"

"Beautiful place, great location, and access to everything on Main Street! Extremely clean, very comfortable furniture, and a great view from the front windows. Fast and consistent communication with Linda & Gail before and during our stay. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back next year!"
Live demonstrations provide a fascinating experience at this blacksmith shop, with anvils and fire pokers glowing red hot and bending to the might of the hammer.
