Themed ‘Secret’ Hotel Rooms in Illinois Might Make Good Valentines Plans

In Galena, Illinois there are truly unique overnight adventures waiting at one of the town's hotels. You wouldn't know it by the looks of the exterior. Some called them secret rooms while their technical names are fantasy suites.

Oh, by the way, children are not allowed in these rooms (Cue: adults clapping in approval.)

One of the complaints made most about hotels is usually about the sounds outside of your room, kids running down the hall, people screaming in the next room, a loud tv, maybe even road noise.

Based on this Yelp! review, sound may not be a problem in the fantasy suites at the Best Western in Galena. You'll be glad when you see the inside of these suites.

The perk to the fantasy suite was we couldn't hear any outside noise. No one else's door slamming, people walking around or talking, or the traffic outside. It was like being in our own little world for a few days.

Themed suites are not a new thing for this hotel, in fact, the artist behind these rooms has created more than 70 different themes in the 30 years he has owned the overnight destination. Yes, the owner is also the designer.

If you're looking for a relaxing night alone with a special someone this might be a spot to check out.

The Fantasy Suites

• Pearl of the Sea

With this suite, you'll feel like you're underwater. The large clam-shaped bed is surrounded by a "shipwreck" under special mood lighting.

Along with your own whirlpool, you'll feel like you're staring at the ocean with a full wall aquarium. Oh, and you will have your own sauna too.

• Crystal Cave

This suite comes with a star-lit sky on the ceiling, a private sauna, a fireplace,  a waterfall shower, and more.

The other suites are "Heart's Delight", "Roman Palace", and "Oriental." You can check them out here but, remember, no children are allowed.
