What we love about this stay
Bring groceries — the kitchen here is genuinely well-equipped, and Galena's best move is cooking in after browsing the Main Street shops rather than fighting for a Saturday dinner reservation. Suite 203 is the one you want: nearly 1,400 square feet across two bedrooms means it lives like an apartment, not a hotel room. Light the gas fireplace in the evening and open a local red — the building dates to around 1850, and the restored bones give the space a gravity that new construction can't fake. Morning light through the second-floor windows hits beautifully; make your coffee early and sit with it. The in-unit washer and dryer sound mundane until you're on a longer stay and realize how rare that is in a historic property. This is Galena done right — no fuss, real character, and a location that puts you steps from everything without hearing any of it.

Beautifully restored and decorated! Very nicely furnished with supplies and furnishings. Can’t beat the location for access to the Main Street of Galena. Comfortable beds and super clean. Loved this place and would definitely recommend.

The apartment was perfectly situated in town. Parking on Bench street allowed east parking and the exit onto Main Street was perfect. We received coupons for the French bakery just outside the door which was appreciated and delicious. There were water bottles that we filled from the dispenser on the lobby level which included sparkling water. The apartment was beautiful and comfortable. It was quiet despite being off of the Main Street. We didn’t cook so I can’t fully evaluate the kitchen, but it had everything we needed. The bathrooms were large and well appointed with a steamer in one shower and a lovely bathtub together with bath salts (plus an available shower) in the master bath. This has been one of the best rentals I have had. Would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends.

Suite 203 was simply amazing. Everything you could think of was there and ready. We really appreciate the fans and white noise speakers. The decorations were all unique and so very tasteful.
