Location

Marking the northern boundaries of Galena, this hotel is a bit out of the way for those looking to have an in-town stay. It does offer easy access to the highway, which will allow you to easily access Chestnut Mountain or even the downtown Galena area. There are not many options nearby unless you are looking for a barber.

• Distance to Chestnut Mountain Resort ski access: 11 miles
• Within walking distance: There is a barber across the way, and you can hoof it to a couple of restaurants, but this isn't a walkable destination
• Transportation: Bring your own car, you are on the edge of town with no convenient transportation
