The Country Inn & Suites By Radisson, Galena, Il, earns a solid 'Good' score of 75 and features a 72-foot water slide in its indoor pool, making it a hit with families. For a more upscale option, Irish Cottage Inn & Suites (guest score 89, 'Fabulous') offers an indoor pool, hot tub, and an on-site Irish restaurant, while WorldMark Galena delivers resort-style studios with full kitchens and a heated indoor pool.
