She made sure everyone had their flights rescheduled, rentals cars for those that chose to get one, and food for the rest of the people that waited out for the fixed plane to come in. She was so kind, considerate, and really knew what she was doing. She was also helping get luggage on the plane and drove the tractor away from the plane. She really knew what she was doing (as she's been doing this 17yrs evidently) and I'm hoping that she is properly acknowledged. Connie thank you again

The two ladies are getting up there in age , so we thought the best way to see this city was by taking the trolley tour. The tour cost twenty dollars a person and lasts about one hour. Our guide was very informative about the history of this famous city. We drove by all the important historical homes and markers, while avoiding having to get in and out of the car , numerous times and having to do tons of walking. Parking can be an issue here. The city is also full of lots of hills. So this quick tour was right up our alley by saving us tons of walking and time while getting a more thorough understanding of this city. I highly recommend this tour for people trying to get the Galena experience without doing a ton of walking, searching for parking, and doing a bunch of in and out of cars.

While waiting, one of the curious boys looked inside a parked trolley where the door was slightly ajar, stepping onto the bottom inner step. What happened next was completely unprofessional. A staff member came storming out, yelling at the parents to "watch your kids!" He went on a tirade about how the child got the door open and lectured them about liability. While safety rules are understandable, his delivery was incredibly rude, hostile, and uncalled for. The parents handled it with total maturity and refused to engage after being publicly embarrassed, still proceeding with the tour. A hospitality company is supposed to promote tourism and welcome guests, but this employee did the exact opposite by disrespecting paying patrons. The family was South Asian/Indian, leaving many of us onlookers wondering if his aggressive behavior was racially motivated. The company owes this family a formal apology, and this staff member is a terrible representation of Galena's tourism. Our actual tour guide, Clint, was quite good--but management seriously needs to address the behavior of their desk staff.

129 Walnut Hill It…read moredoesn't really take much to make me happy...and on a weekend getaway, I'm only really looking for 4 things. I want to sleep in, I want a hot cup of coffee in the morning, and I want to be able to watch TV during down time, and blow dry my hair after a shower. Renting this golf villa, I was hardly able to do any of that. First off - aside from the couch and rug in the living room, the whole unit is dated. To the tune of the 80s. The 1st floor bed may have had my great-grandmothers hand made lace sheets on it, and shades on the window so paper-thin, it was almost awkward to sleep there. The shower curtain with tie backs should be put back in the '91 JCPenny catalog they came out of. We pulled some extra blankets from the closet, they may have been purchased and washed in the same year...gross. A Macy's one-day sale would cover all the updating needed. Coffee maker? Junk... My luke warm black water wasn't going to do it for me. I get that this is a rental unit, but there should be some minimum requirements to meet before entering the rental program. (Put one of these on the Macy's list too). There were two grills on the patio...which led us to have hope at least one worked. One had a knob missing, and some sticks in it from who knows when, and no LP tank attached. Maybe it's time for that one to go?? The other (same brand/model) thankfully worked. Trying to sit down and enjoy a cocktail while your steak is cooking is another story... This bargain hunters gem of a POS table and chair set may have set the owners back all of $50 during a Menards 11% sale. Not at all comfy, but the clear result of a 'eh, this'll do' moment. Don't worry, there's no view to speak of here anyway...completely wooded back yard. There's a fairway back there, but you aren't going to witness any golf, only the screams and splashes in the close by pool. Cleanliness was also an issue throughout our weekend getaway. Though this may be the fault of the rental company, and not the owners. Most of the dishes and glasses we first grabbed were dirty. I ended up throwing everything I could into the dishwasher for a round of cleaning (and I'd thought I left cleaning at home for the weekend). The bathrooms were half decent, but visible dust, hairs, and other miscellaneous debris were evident on the counters, sinks, and tubs. There was also no blow dryer to be found. I guess I assumed there would be one, my bad. The towels all had a mildew scent to them, and were also thrown in the washer/dryer to pre-wash while we ran out for some groceries. Again, things I didn't think I'd need to do while away for the weekend. TV? Ha. There are about 10 channels to chose from, and zero wifi, or cellular service for that matter. Being able to disconnect from life is one thing, but wondering if you could even call 9-1-1 during an emergency is another. Standard cable and wifi should also be a requirement on these rental units. Everyone has down time during their vacation and wants to watch tv or catch up on Twitter. The Walnut Hill pool... Part of why we decided to rent this unit for the weekend was that it had its own pool (separate from the Owners Club) and since it was late July, we figured we'd avoid some of the crowd there. The pool area was nice, lounge chairs and patio tables with umbrella were not skimped out on. Though the one we chose wasn't in optimal working order, go figure. The pool water was cold for late July, and definitely needed a cleaning. The bottom was filthy, and I saw a band-aid float by at one point. This unit will not be on our list of future places to rent from.

The decor is so charming in the house. It's like stepping into an antique shop. Joe, the owner, was extremely nice. He gave us a little history of the house and was kind enough to give us recommendations of where to dine in Galena. The breakfast he served was so yummy! I definitely was a member of the Clean Plate Club. The 24 hour refreshment hutch and fridge on the guest floor is great. And the fresh cookies were a treat! The location is only a short walk to Main Street, which is another plus. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Galena!

I was pleased that each room had a separate sitting room and it's own bathroom/ shower. We went in the fall/summer so we didn't get a chance to enjoy the bedroom fireplace but it looked so nice! The owner (who took it over in April from his parents) was very friendly and helpful- not overbearing at all! Breakfast was good- we were able to pick between a couple options when he asked us upon checkin. Coffee was good & several juices on the table. On the bedroom level here was a mini fridge, coffee machine, and water machine for use. Also the bedrooms are more separate and since there are only 3guest rooms it was a nice private feel. The only two negatives that I found was I wished they had a surge protector next to the bed because I had to unplug the clock/radio since I prefer to keep my cell phone on the nightstand charging while I sleep (my husband had an extra outlet on his side to use); the other part is they put a lot of effort decorating... There was lots of vases and stuffed teddy bears on the ground which upon leaving I could not simply scan the floor that nothing was left. However the Best part of this place was the location! Excellent perfect location! We were able to walk to everything! When we drove to Iowa (15mins away) we passed a lot of b&b that were not so close which made us really appreciate this place!!
