“Terrible Experience”

Terrible, Terrible Experience

I have stayed in Galena several times at various B&B's. This time we decided to try an inn to save some money on our anniversary weekend. However the weekend was already ruined with the untimely death of my grandmother. We called to cancel the reservation because the funeral was the day we checked in but since we didn't cancel 7 days in advance (the website has conflicting information, the home page says 72 hrs and the room page says 7 days) this was unacceptable to the policy standards so we had to come or be out $350.

So after the funeral we arrived at Carrie's Vintage Inn

1) The room we got is not the room I originally picked; I picked suite 1 we got the "jungle suite".

2) There is NOT a fireplace in the room as advertised. It was an electric fireplace or space heater.

3) The bed was a full size bed-not the queen bed advertised.

4) There is NO WAY the "suite" was worth the $170 per night based on the false advertising on the website

The whole experience was extremely upsetting and disappointing, I do not recommend staying at this Inn while in Galena there are plenty more options with better accommodations, nicer hosts, and better rates.

Wanted to stay on main street with our group of 10. Found Carriers Vintage Inn at the end of Main street. Free off street parking right behind the building. The manager Brent was very nice. We had two suites in the building. Basement with easy access from parking for the older people in our group. Suite had two small bedrooms, tiny kitchen with full size frig and stove and a mircowave, coffee pot, also small living room with sofa and chair. Other suite was top floor with two bedrooms, large living room, dinning room and full kitchen with micro and coffee pot. The bathroom had huge whirpool tub. Each suite had juice along with muffins and fruit oh and a supply of coffee and filter. The top floor suite had a huge back deck and the walk out basment suite had a nice area to sit and enjoy your coffee. Our group loved being able to park our van and walk out the door right downb main street. Building had beautiful old wood work. We enjoyed our stay at Carrie's vintage inn and will stay again if we get back to Galena.
