Quick ski trip
The resort was great for skiing in and out. Overall the staff was friendly and helpful. The property does not have an elevator making it hard to bring luggage and ski equipment upstairs. The building overall and the room we stayed could use some updating.

Beautiful resort in Galena IL
The ski resort is beautiful in the fall with the trees changing. Having a drink on the deck looking over the Mississippi was special. It’s an older resort; we had to go down several stairs then up a few stairs to get to our room. The toilet and sink are very low. As older people, one using a cane, these issues caused some barriers. No elevator. I should have asked for another room , but the room was spacious, clean and comfortable.

Restaurant lady with attitude
Everything was okay, the only issue we had was when we had breakfast at their restaurant, food was good, but when I asked this lady to split the check in two cards, she couldn't do it, she told us there was an error with our debit card. Hours later we found out she was the one who made the mistake. So why was she giving us attitude? making us feel our card wasn't working. She never apologized.

Well maintained property for how old it is. The rooms were a little outdated but nonetheless very clean and well maintained. Staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend friends and family to stay here.

The property is older but that fits the Galena vibe. It's clean, staff is very nice and accomodating, and overall it's quiet and relaxing.

There were two things only that I didn’t like. There are no elevators and I had to drag my suitcase up steps to my room. Also, the toilet was dinky. My knees were higher than my waist when I was on it. Kinda rough on a 75 year old. The rest of the stay was wonderful!

Fun for the whole family. Was staying at this hotel for a wedding. Views were excellent. The only issue with this hotel would be the lack of an elevator. If you don't book a ground floor room, be prepared to walk some stairs. Still worth it.

We liked being so close to the bike park and being able to take advantage of the many other activities available on site. The Segway tour was a big hit with my wife and oldest son.

Only thing that would take from good to excellent would be to add some hooks in bathroom and maybe a small shelf above the toilet for personal essentials.
