“Grant Hills Motel - works in a pinch.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

I stayed at the Grant Hills Motel with my mother recently. The staff was courteous, if not outgoing. The facilities are maintained well enough given the obvious aging of the grounds and building. The room I stayed in was fairly clean, but was dank and had an unpleasant odor. The walls are wood panelled or cinder block and the shower was a stall with a concrete floor. The beds were a bit stiff and although I had no problem, my mother had a troubled back after spending a night on one.

Grant Hills Motel is a short drive from downtown Galena and is a good value compared to other hotels/B&Bs I saw advertised. The free internet access was very convenient. Half of the rooms have parking directly outside their doors, for the other half you must walk down a flight of stairs to access. These rooms face a large lawn area that is pleasant by day, but a little alarming at night.

All in all, you don't get a lot for your money at Grant Hills Motel. I would not stay there again or recommend it, but if you must stay in/near Galena and cannot find other accommodations, this place will give you a roof over your head and a bed to sleep in.

“WE LOVED THE GRANT HILLS MOTEL!!”

Me and my BFF are traveling cross country and were traveling through Galena, Illinois. We were driving for a long time and were eager to stay in a comfortable safe place. The woman behind the desk was THE NICEST lady ever and she made us feel very safe and at home. She was very accommodating and our room was AWESOME. It was big and homey for the two of us. She even offered us coffee and told us fun places to tour the next day... WE LOVED IT! STAY THERE!

“Great Management and Peaceful Environement”

The woman who runs this Inn is helpful and friendly. She made us feel welcome right away. The room was quaint and the yard outside our room was beautiful, especially during sunset. The pool was clean and not packed with people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will come again.
