Our stay at the Irish cottage Inn and Suites was great. Went on an impromptu trip to Galena and we are so happy we stayed at the Irish Cottage. The place is very cute from the entrance and the overall feel. They offer free coffee and tea, and a shuttle service to downtown Galena. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The best part is that it has an Irish pub right next to it. The food and live music were really good. They also offer free breakfast which has a good selection of eggs, fruit, potatoes, etc. I would go back!

Comfortable Stay with Friendly Service

Very comfortable bed with ample pillows. Great service. A plus is the hot breakfast that is included with your stay. Also fun to see Irish Dancing in the pub on Saturday evening and folk-pop singer on Sunday evening. All the staff were extremely friendly and attentive.
