Guest Reviews

I asked my hotel in Galena to suggest the nicest restaurant (defined by great food, scenic view and ambience) nearby for a special dinner. Hands down my hotel said this was the place. And it did not disappoint. It was a beautiful 20 minute ride out of Galena and it was amazing from the moment we drove up to the hotel. The food was absolutely out of this world....See More

We came to Goldmoor for a birthday dinner, so we didn’t stay. That will change next time. Its remote setting is amazing, providing beautiful panoramic views wherever you look. The wait staff was prompt and pleasant, and the owner was welcoming and conversational. We can’t wait to come back and stay.

This is our second time staying here. The Rooms: 10/10 amazing! The rooms are beautiful and well decorated. Staff: The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Always checking in to make sure we have everything we need. Food: Breakfast in bed was delicious!!! Overall: A beautiful place definitely worth staying and eating at the restaurant as well. Looking forward to going once a year!

We celebrated a special occasion by having dinner at the chef’s table in the Goldmoor kitchen. We got to watch the cooks prepare the food for everyone in the main dining room and our table. The interaction with the chef and his staff really added to the experience. Our daughter and her boyfriend love to eat out at fancy restaurants so this was a home run.

Luxurious & spacious rooms with fireplace and whirlpool tub, hearty in-room breakfast, fine dining in on-site restaurant overlooking stunning views of the sun setting on the Mississippi River Valley. Great experience! Birgit and Slobo, owners, were attentive and eager to please.
