First Time Bed And Breakfast Patrons
This was the first time my wife and I stayed at a Bed and Breakfast. We were very impressed with everything from the check-in to check-out. The Steamboat House is very impressive and historic. Our room was very nice and the breakfasts we were served were excellent. The Steamboat House is only a 5 minute walk to downtown, so we did not move our car during our 2 night stay. We will definitely be going back to the Steamboat House during our next stay in Galena. Carol's hospitality made this a very pleasant trip.

Labor Day Getaway
There are quite a few bed and breakfast places in Galena. It is an old historic home, the inside was decorated nicely, we made use of the pool room which was fun. One suggestion would be to clean up the large front porch a bit, hide the bottle of round up, etc. This is the first impression and the front porch could be such a great focal point. The breakfast each day was very good and it was nice to meet and talk with the other guests. The location was great, just a few blocks from downtown. Overall a nice place.
