The property was great. Easy access to the Main Street from our room and a great location. We had good communication from the owner every step of the way. The room was comfortable and very up scale. We would recommend and will use again the next time we visit.
Every element of this experience was ideal. While familiar with Galena, we had not stayed overnight in some years. The Ulysses Suites were the perfect accommodation -- beautifully appointed, well designed interiors, comfortable, thoughtful details, ideal location on the main street yet quiet inside. And they are above one of the most stylish interiors shops in Galena. We also loved the common area at the entrance from Bench Street - our suite was pretty small so when we got takeout one morning, it was fun to eat in the "cafe." My only regret is that there wasn't a rainy afternoon during our stay so I could enjoy the cozy window seat of Suite 202. I guess another regret is that our stay was only two nights. :) Thanks so much to Joan and team for the fabulous experience. We will for certain be back!
