    Robert & Douglas were fabulous hosts. The Aldrich House was magnificent. Breakfasts were delicious. Beds were dreamy. Location was walking distance to the Visitor’s Center, Grant Park, Trolley, Grants House, Washburn House, Belvedere Mansion, Museum, Dowling House, and PT Murphy’s magic show.

    One of our best getaways thanks in no small part to the Aldridge House, it is a real gem.

    The pillows were very soft for us, detracting from our comfort. A footrest would also have been appreciated.

    The entire experience exceeded our expectations especially compared to other locations we have stayed. The attention to detail and the commitment to the guests was obvious. The breakfast served on the porch was an excellent experience and the food did not disappoint. The house and the grounds added immensely to the relaxed and comfortable feel.

    The property is close to the main road into town so you do get a lot of traffic noise. But other that that, I can’t come up with many negative things.

    The innkeepers,Douglas and Robert were very personable and it shows that they both have backgrounds in the hospitality business. From breakfast, that featured a different delicious dish every morning, to happy hour, which featured original cocktails and local beverages, everything was enjoyable. The property was also centrally located that made walking to places we wanted to do easy.

    Robert and Douglas are amazing hosts. They have done a phenomenal job with the decorating and pay attention to all the little details. The entire place is charming and immaculate. Their food is scrumptious. We had a wonderful time learning more about the area from them and meeting other guests. We would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Galena. We wished we could have stayed longer.

    This was our first experience at a B&B and it surpassed my expectations. The history of Galena paired with the serenity made for the perfect get away. The breakfast was incredibly delicious! I was also very appreciative of how accommodating the owners were to my gluten allergy for both breakfast and cocktail hour.

    Would not have minded a restroom on the main floor. This would save elderly guests from going upstairs to use facilities in their own in-room bathroom.

    The owner/hosts were wonderful and entertaining. Breakfasts were a culinary delight with western omelette quiche and carrot cake waffles. The house and grounds had plenty of room to find a quiet place for your enjoyment. And, the location was close enough to walk to many of the points of interests.

    Hosts went above and beyond to make us comfortable and due to our late arrival, called several restaurants in advance to see if they were still open so we could quickly find dinner.
