Property was well maintained if a bit dated . The staff were courteous and professional especially the bar/restaurant staff. Found the bar/restaurant prices quite high . $10 a pint of Guinness ! In Galena! Food was excellent although downtown Chicago prices for food and drink were a bit surprising .
