We stayed here on a Sunday night in January- got a great rate. The room was lovely and overlooked the indoor courtyard so it was very quiet. All amenities are up-to-date with one exception, while preserving the historic atmosphere. Location is great for shopping in Galena. The one exception is that the TV was really small and outdated. Maybe that... More

The hotel is beautiful. It has a huge amount of history. Rooms were large , high ceilings and the decor was from the era.Hotel has enclosed private parking, a great restaurant and bar on premises.. When you walk out the front door you are right on Main Street with everything Galena has to offer. Loved our stay. We will be... More

This was a delightful place to stay. The historic hotel is right in the middle of downtown and within easy walking distance of most attractions. I parked my car in their ramp and never had to move it. That's a blessing in Galena. Being over a hundred fifty years old, the building is a bit quirky, which made it much... More

We were very happy with this hotel. It is right downtown and close to everything. The rooms are lovely--high ceilings and chintz fabrics. Our room overlooked the huge Christmas tree in the courtyard, and you could breakfast underneath the tree. Parking is available as well. We will definitely stay here again. More

We were married in Galena on Dec. 17th, the wedding plans went so smoothly due to Deb and Theresa! (A MILLION THANKS) How wonderful it was working with them, we had no worries. We arrived on Friday, gave them the information they needed and they took care of all the details! The ballroom was beautiful! Originally, we had a small... More

Location,location,location. DeSoto is right on Main St. in Galena. All you have to do is park your car in their parking garage and you don't have to drive again until you leave. Talk about a stress free get away. The hotel itself is quite unique. It is the oldest in Illinois. Although it was renovated awhile ago it is staring... More

We visited Galena just for one night to see the Luminaria Night (which is great) and after that decided to walk in Galena's main street for some wines, gifts and of course dinner, that was the reason why we decided to enter to DeSoto House. They had 3 different areas where you could seat to have dinner but what I... More

We have stayed at the DeSoto House Hotel many times. You could not ask for a better location. Everything you need is within walking distance. The hotel has kept its decor unique with wallpaper on some of the walls yet the rooms have all of the modern conveniences. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Even with the damage from... More

De Soto is right on main street in Galena, so if you want to walk around this pretty town this is the hotel to stay. It is the oldest hotel in Il, and although it was refurbished a while ago it shows. A old (tube) tiny TV, Victorian wallpaper, fleece blankets on the beds etc. Internet wifi was free and... More
