The stay was nice and quiet! The resort amenities were fun but very expensive . The overall hotel and room was musty/dry smelling, I think it was from the carpets. The decor and style is very old and nothing is updated. If you just need a decent place to stay where you aren’t going to spend all your vacation time it will do the job. Staff was pleasant for the most part.

This was a nice spot for a quick trip to Galena. We needed a hotel that included an EV charger on site which was offered by this hotel. It was also nice to have an onsite restaurant and bar. The activities were a little expensive but a fun bonus none the less. The views are outstanding!

Expectations should be limited to the activities available the zip line, alpine ride, other outside activities but the pool became unavailable on the second day of our stay and one of the reason for booking the facility was the pool. The restaurant view is great but isn’t very clean as flies kept on bugging while we ate our food.

Great service. Let us check in 4 hours before because we arrived early and were tired. Rooms are on smaller side, but are clean and beds are medium firm, which is what i like. Room service was good as well. Plenty of fun activities for kids and adults alike. Overall satisfied and will visit again.

Had a flat tire in gravel parking lot due to screw from facility’s stairs, fortunately a maintenance staff member was very helpful in repairing but front desk was not very receptive. The pool was closed for half stay, cruise was only on weekends, so two of the reasons for selection were lost. Room tvs were terrible and wifi was spotty at best.

Property had not elevator and 4 floors. Had to drag all our things up and down. None of the outside activities were functional.

The A/C in the room was damaged and caught on fire while we were sleeping. The alarm went off, and you had to switch rooms in the middle of the night. The room that they moved us into was hotter than a sauna. The thermostat was not working; we had only two choices: full heat blast or no heat at all. We turned the heat off, but by the morning was already cold. Simply put, we had a sleepless night and even no apology from the resort

We had a wonderful stay here. Staff was great everywhere on the grounds. Food & service was good, a little on the higher price said. We did have the majority of our meals there as the drive to town isn't the closest. The slopes were well groomed. My son and I spent the entire day on them. The rooms were decent and clean. We are planning to return next year for more skiing fun.

Hotel needs a elevator as carrying luggage up 2 flights of stairs sucks! Hotel rooms and hotel itself needs to be upgraded to the 2000's.
2nd time we stayed here and probably will be back but will request room on 2nd floor over looking the ski slopes.

The breakfast was buffet and somewhat greasy. We had hoped there would be fire pits outside to enjoy fall on the grounds!

Nice comfortable stay. The pool was warm and very relaxing; the hot tub and sauna both worked fine. Although not complimentary, the breakfast at the Summit Restaurant was excellent. Beautiful views of the Mississippi River from the west balcony of the hotel. Very nice! Will stay again.

The first room they gave us had literally TWELVE flies on the small window in the room. So they moved us down a couple rooms. There weren’t any flies on the window when we got in there but we had to kill no less than TEN bugs throughout the short time we were in the room for the two nights we were there. There’s no elevator, so getting your bags to your room is a pain. There’s no housekeeping unless you ask. It’s not the price of Motel6, you’d think they’d reinvest some of the profit into upkeep of the property. Would not recommend and will not be back.

This hotel is in a wonderful location and the veiws are amazing. Everyone at this resort were very polite, from the people at the desk, the maintence man, and the restaurant staff. We had a few minor issues that were easily and quickly resolved during our stay. Please note that this place does not have an elevator, and does have steps to the rooms. I would highly reccommend this hotel to others, but I would suggest taking out a few steps and putting up a ramp for better access, or even an elevator. Thank you for your hospitality during our stay!!

We were lucky enough to get in to stay there during Oktoberfest in Galena. We got two rooms which I am sure were the last two available so they were not that big and did not have a view of the river and had small bathrooms. We had a good time there though. Enjoyed hiking around the trails in the area. Also took a ride on the alpine slide down to the river to ride the boat and rode the chair lift back up. Also played mini golf. Enjoyed the view of the river at breakfast.

The hotel room was updated and clean. The bathroom was old but very clean. The hallway leading to the indoor pool was unacceptable. I understand if they aren't using the rooms down that hall anymore, but the carpetinf was filthy and coming up in spots and the hall needed paint. Luckily, the pool was clean and a nice temperature. The activities on property were very well run and the outside of the property was well kept and decorated. Some updates to the interior would make this an excellent hotel.

This resort could definitely use some updating, carpets in the hallways were old and dingy and furniture was a little beat up, but overall it was a pleasant stay. The view was great and the rides were fun.

Ups and Downs

When we were in our original room (322), we had wasps on the window on the inside of the room which was a real downer so I requested a new room and we got moved to Room 329 which was a lot better.

The beds could've been better but the overall stay was a 3.5/5 star.

Overall great stay

First trip to Galena end of September. Didn’t realize that the hotel was a bit further out from the main downtown restaurants and shops. Overall a good experience, hotels is a bit dated in some areas but some of the rooms are a bit updated. No elevator in the hotel and WiFi and phone service were a bit shotty. Beautifully decorated for fall. Great views, lots to do at the hotel. We did the Alpine slide and soaring eagle

They had a bucket catching water from a ceiling leak in the ski room/locker room.

The amenities as far as the slide & ski lift are only avaliable on Saturday and Sunday which is ridiculous i dont know how they can call themselves a resort

No elevator have to carry luggage upstairs . Carpet through out resort is disgustingly filthy . Hallways smell of nasty carpet ! Coffee in lobby horrible . Bed had no fitted sheet had a flat sheet talked in exposing a worn out. Disgusting mattress pad . Sink was very low for like a small child along with the toilet just not a very pleasant day. Employees were fine and working hard, but obviously the place was in a shambles and nothing they can do to fix it even though they were cleaning best, they could all dirt on top of older dirt . If you plan on commuting from town back to resort at night, it’s a very dangerous dark winding road beware.

Property needs to be updated. The scenery is beautiful but the hotel itself is extremely dated and run down. For the price you pay, more things should be included.
