“Galena Inn's Victorian architecture and focus on tailored breakfasts, especially catering to dietary needs, create a distinct experience; innkeeper Kerrie's kindness and the hot tub add a personal touch. The building presents a romantic feel with historical depth. Imperfections exist, yet the inn's dedication to guest comfort is palpable.”
