We got back to our room - which was on the 'courtyard" side, about 9pm to be greeted by music so loud we couldn't even hear each other speak. When I called the front desk to complain, I was informed that "they'd been putting up signs all day telling people there was going to be a wedding". I replied that... more

We found the hotel very satisfactory. It was very clean and the staff was very nice. The room (215) seemed to have new paint and paper. It was cleaned well and promptly every morning. We ate at all 3 restaurants and they were very good. The parking garage and central location were a definite plus. more

The staff and management at the Desoto are rude and very unprofessional. My husband and I have stayed at the Desoto many times. After, our last stay we'll never go back. We checked into the DeSoto for a nice weekend. Saturday night we noticed they were going to have a wedding. We were very surprised since the Desoto doesn't have... more

My husband and I frequent the Desoto every couple of years as the drive from Chicago to Galena is picturesque and very soothing. The parking is great as there is a garge in the building which is great as parking was always a problem. The individuals at the front desk have always been warm and welcoming. This has always been... more

We stayed on Friday/Saturday nights in 301 & 302. A/C worked fine, comfy bed. Older renovation shows age, but we thought that it added to the historic feel. Heard about the slanty floor in 309 here and from guests at hotel, they were amused by it. Great location, parking and food. See the Mark Twain show while you're there. Be... more

De Soto house is right in the middle of Main Street so really easy to find when you come into town. The decor is a little old fashioned but it goes with the history of the hotel. It didn't look worn though. The floor we were on had named rooms which was a nice touch. Breakfast was good and very... more

It was a fairy tale wedding. The meal was one of the best that I have ever had. The food was of high quality and served in a very professional manner. All the staff from the sales manager to the serving staff did a great job in making sure that all of my guest were treated well and my wedding... more

My husband and I stayed at the Desoto House Memorial Day weekend for our 1st wedding anniversary. I will agree with many of the reviews that the location and parking were great, but that was the best part. We stayed in room 207 and had a view of the main street. I thought we payed way too much $183 a... more

My wife and I have stayed many times at the DeSoto House. It's convenience and accessibility to Main Street is unmatched. The hotel has a wonderful ambience of history and the center courtyard is a attractive feature. Unfortunately, this last stay will probably be our final one. Our room was 313, the Stephen Douglas room. We has previously stayed in... more
