Visit the Town That Time Forgot to experience a unique tourist destination with a rich history and scenic surroundings. A mining boomtown that has been virtually untouched since the mid-1800s, Galena is a meticulously preserved period town that is home to over 1,000 historic buildings. Much of Galena today is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The former residence of U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant, this historic destination also offers a wide selection of outdoor activities nearby, including challenging golf courses, exciting ski resorts, family fun at Lake Galena and horseback riding through rolling hills and flower-filled valleys. Tourism is now the city's main attraction, with specialty shops, boutiques, galleries and restaurants appealing to more than a million visitors annually. WorldMark Galena features spacious studio and one-bedroom resort suites that comfortably sleep two to four guests and range from 420 to 850 square feet. The studio suite features a queen Murphy bed, while the one-bedroom suite features a private bedroom with a king bed and a queen Murphy bed in the living area. Whether you're traveling with extended family or a smaller party, you will appreciate the economy of a full kitchen or kitchenette, whirlpool tub, fireplace and washer/dryer (one-bedroom). Plus, seperate dining area and living area with private balcony in some suites and TVs throughout are comforts that would be hard to find in an average hotel.
Pros: Fireplace, view and jacuzzi tub. Although a Murphy bed it was comfortable. Room was clean. Porch hadn't been cleaned in a long time, bird nests and droppings. No free wifi.
Cons: Dirty patio. No free wifi. Initially staff told us our reservation was cancelled, even though it wasn't and had already been paid for in full for 1 month
Pros: Fireplace was nice.
Cons: Carpets needed cleaning/replacing and there was a sour odor throughout. Purchased some scented candles to make it bearable. Wifi not included in room rate is ridiculous. Even most McDonalds offer free wifi!
You have to pay for wifi usage. No food offered of any kind, etc.
Pros: It was clean.
Cons: The price was atrocious for what we got.
Pros: The individual rooms were like personal apartments which wad nice when we wanted to stay in and cook. We also liked the jot tub and fire place. Very relaxing.
Cons: It is a bit outside Galena, but it makes for a beautiful drive.
Lots of good things but poor design. Fairly big room but a Murphy Bed? Hot tub was in the bathroom with the gas fireplace between the living room and the bathroom. If someone came into the living room they could look through the fire place to see you sitting on the commode. Lots of great amentities bjut the price was justified when you saw the design screw ups they'd done to the room.
Pros: Nice Staff great views fair room
Cons: Small Bed (it was supposed to be a Queen) and it was a Murphy Bed - we weren't told about that also no maid service we had to switch out towels at the front desk. Crummy small pillows.
Pros: Eating breakfast in my fireside Jacuzzi was a great way to start the day.

Cons: lack of reliable wi fi system
