The Ramada, Galena, was perfect for the "girls" weekend that we had planned. The hotel was very clean, and emulated the Galena "old fashioned" charm. Yes, it is decorated in a victorian fashion of a yesteryear instead of the sleek, updated contemporary or classic look that most hotels are changing to. This is however, because of the Galena area. A contemporary hotel would be very out of place here. Galena's attraction is the preservation of it's early history. The buildings are restored beautifully to their original states, and the ambiance that the town creates is wonderful. The Ramada tries to continue the feel of the town in their decor. The rooms are simple, but they are spacious and they are clean. I definitely recommend the spa! This is what attracted us to the hotel in the first place. (we also weren't up for the whole bed and breakfast environment since we were having a ladies weekend.) The spa offered nice packages for the hotel guests that you should definitely take advantage of. Compared to some of the other hotels in the area, the price was very inexpensive. For the amount of time that we actually spent in the room, this hotel suited us perfectly. The morning breakfast included in the rate was very adequate to get the day started. French toast, waffles, and the other basic continental fare. Staff was very friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions and other things that we needed. Beds were queen sized, not just doubles. Pool area is HUGE! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again upon returning to Galena!
Room Tip: We like the second floor, even though there isn't an elevator.
