The Irish Cottage in Galena is a charming boutique hotel, complete with Irish pub that offers live entertainment, and a spa. Our suite had a whirlpool which definitely added a romantic touch. The hotel is in a great location and the owners also own one of the best restaurant in Galena - 111 on Main. Great service, fun and charming... more

What a treasure this hotel is!! We were treated like royalty during our stay here. Their "Snuggle Up" package was a great value. The room was beautiful, the food and the service here were top notch. And waking up in the morning to smell of fresh scones baking made the day start off perfectly...and then to have a breakfast basket... more

This place was well worth the price. Very clean and comfortable. Restaurant has good food and entertainment in the evening. They serve a basket of bagel, juices, yogurt to your room for breakfast at no extra charge or you can go downstairs for cereals, oatmeal, etc at no charge. The staff was excellent, will definately stay here again. more

My husband and I stayed at The Irish Cottage Hotel this past weekend (Oct 29th and 30th, 2009). We have been to Galena many times, driven past the hotel and never thought to stay there. As our usual B&Bs were full, we booked a room at the Irish Cottage Hotel and were VERY impressed. Our room was clean, the restaurant... more

We stayed in a non-smoking room surrounded by all non-smoking rooms and our room still smelled like smoke. The hallway smelled too. The staff was also rude at check out as they had added fees to our room for extra people and acted like we were idiots for asking questions about it. When a room is booked for four people,... more

My husband and I were delighted with the the Irish Cottage Hotel! Our room was immaculate and large; the lobby is charming and cozy; the staff is friendly and efficient; and the food and entertainment in the pub were outstanding. The Main Street area of town is just a few minutes drive away. We will definitely stay there again when... more

We were looking for a beautiful area to ride the motorcycle after missing out on the whole summer riding season. I wanted a trip that would be able to have as few worries (like reservations for dinner and evening entertainment /versus cost worries) so we could relax on our daytime rides. The Galena area was recommended to me as a... more

We came to The irish Cottage for our 20th wedding anniversary and spent two beautiful nights in a Glendalough Suite. Being an Irish family, we are quite interested in the culture, and had always wanted to stay here. It has spoiled me for all time. No other hotel has come even close to matching the wonderful experience we had there.... more

This was our second trip to The Irish Cottage, and it won't be our last. My daughter was on spring break from College and we decided this would be the perfect destination. We enjoy the shopping in the shops on site, as well as all the shops in Galena. We found handmade jewelry and knit items, wonderful places to eat... more
