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!

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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.
