Very disappointed.
Liked: The bed was Ok
Disliked: A shabby unkempt environment. Breakfast was supermarket bread and fruit only with the offer of 'veggie quiche'. See pictures below. Coffee machines not filled/functional. Gourmet? No in room drink making facilities, a shared area on the landing. An extremely noisy 'aircon' contraption located in an open window. Bathroom is basic and well worn.Location at the top of a hill overlooking the town. 161 steps to negotiate there and back Picture below. No lift in the hotel. No staff available on arrival (we had to call our America friend who called the hotel and after a couple of tries, manged to contact the 'host'). We were unable to raise assistance at 5pm on our second day, when we had an issue with flying insects in our room. Extremely expensive, $450 for 2 nights given the meagre services on offer. It should be made clear in the description that the location is not accessible for those with even mild mobility issues.

Couples weekend
Liked: Unique and charming. The location was good, easy to get down to Main Street. Comfy bed.
Disliked: Although getting down to Main Street was easy, going back up was a little tougher. It was not a big deal though and certainly would not keep me from staying here again.

We love the charm of the Inn and historic Galena itself.
Liked: Our loft suite above the carriage house was excellent! Our Innkeeper, Brad, was a joy to talk to and gave great advice on places to hike and dine.
Disliked: The Inn itself is in need of repairs. Rotting wood on the trim, pillars and eves, etc is very noticeable. The grounds of the Galena Inn have been neglected also. Some (a lot actually) of TLC could make them grand again. The breakfast our first three mornings was so-so not much choice, the best of which was frozen quiche warmed up. The last morning our Innkeeper made us fresh omelets which were amazing! The advertised outdoor hot tub is no long pretty - in fact borders on shabby.
