An indoor “water park” featuring an adult pool with water slide, a children’s pool with water slide, a children’s wading pool, and a relaxing whirlpool sets this family-friendly hotel apart from the pack. If that’s not enough entertainment, try the large game room, with pool tables, video games, and dart boards (and even a rocking horse). A book exchange in the lobby is available for guests who have just finished that latest Grisham novel. Rooms are quiet and comfortable, and a substantial breakfast is served to prepare you for a day of shopping and sightseeing in downtown Galena, just 2 miles away.
