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.
