WorldMark Galena - Galena, Illinois

Very peaceful and out in the country.wifi. was very nice, loved the double sided fire place (besides the fact the switch to turn it on didn't turn it off). Amazing view off the balcony. Was liking the idea of being able to stream to the tv from your phone or tablet but you have to pay for their internet to connect to the wifi and it starts at $10/day.

Just outside of Galena so it is easy to take day trips downtown! In town you can find many interesting shops and restaurants to visit. If you like history you can visit President Grant's home and take a tour for a small donation ☺️. The docent we had was very knowledgeable about the Grant family.

This is the closest WorldMark resort near us, we had never heard of Galena until we booked our stay for our little families first mini vacation without extended family in 6 years. We had an absolute blast! Our 3 year old LOVED the game rooms, we forgot swimsuits so we couldn't enjoy the pool or hot tub, but we truly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were incredibly clean and so cute! Our 3 year old was absolutely amazed at having a Jack and Jill backroom and lived every second of his special not boy room.

I have really no complaints. It was wonderful, relaxing. The room was great. We got the one bedroom condo. Huge. Like living at home. Full kitchen. Amenities are great. Pool, exercise room. There is even a game room. Great if you have kids. It is a few miles from Galena, but that means quiet.

Beware! bug infestation— our room was infested with Japanese beetles, on average about 30-40 minimum a day across different areas of our room, occupying the walls, our bathroom mirrors, the windows, the floors, the toilets etc. The resort said they are aware of it but they did bare minimum to solve the issue. According to them, most rooms don’t see so many, but when we asked to switch rooms they said they don’t have spare rooms. The only thing they did was let us borrow a handheld vacuum to vacuum those bugs up, but we had to do it every day and an hour later they would reappear. Other than that the staff did nothing, didn’t compensate us for our troubles or even help us get those bugs, just kind of shrug like too bad you have to spend your supposedly relaxing time catching bugs or be wary not to step on any bugs just walking around in your room. Would not recommend.

I found WorldMark on a great deal through their own website. I've never stayed at a hotel in Galena before but was looking for a weekend getaway for a couple of days. Our room was the larger of the two types, it was basically an apartment. It was massive for a "hotel" room. It had its own kitchen complete with everything you'd need to cook. The bedroom was its own separate room with its own closet, TV, and door to the balcony. The bathroom was completely separate from the bathroom for privacy and had a roomy shower and a jetted tub large enough for two people.

The living area had a table, chairs, a Murphy bed, and a couch. There was also a gas fireplace that was completely encased in glass. Its meant for the ambiance, not actually heating the unit.

Since we were on the top floor there was no one above us. We didn't hear anything from the unit below us either but I'm not sure if there was anyone staying down there at the time. Our unit was spotless too. From the fridge to the bed and everything in between, it was very clean.

There is a pool and game room downstairs that has a couple of arcade games, a ing pon table, and a pool table. We didn't utilize the downstairs at all though.

WorldMark is about 10 minutes from downtown Galena, right off US20.

Room was very spacious with a large tub and fireplace in the room which was very nice. Each room has a balcony, and the front desk people were always helpful. Only downside is wifi is not free, you have to pay for it. A very quick drive to downtown Galena!

Although it was a great place to stay we did have a few things happen. At check in we were giving a room and when we got to it and entered we walked in on another couple. I was so embarrassed. Went back to the desk was giving a different room just to find out the keys did not work|The lady at front desk was very apologetic and nice. We were told at check in a 250.00 deposit would be on my card but will be returned at check out and they took the 250 ASAP but when I checked out was told it could be up to 5 business days to get money back||.
