It's just a few minutes from downtown (which isn't much to be honest) and it's within walking distance of a drug store, a dollar store and a half-dozen eateries (including the Country Junction, which has the best fruit pies on the planet). The rooms are clean and they have working microwaves, refrigerators and coffee makers (plus a separate sink + shower areas so two people can get ready at once.)

It was manned by a very nice guy (I think he did double duty and worked the front desk too) and he kept everything full. My husband and I stayed there while visiting the Field of Dreams where my husband played baseball with our son whose vintage baseball team rented the field. It was awesome. This hotel was very close and convenient to the field. If given the opportunity, we would stay here again.

I won't go into too many details, but I inadvertently booked our reservation, along with our friends' reservation, at the wrong hotel!! Thanks to an assist from Bill Griffen from Boyd Gaming/Grand Harbor, the hotel switch was made. However, we will be traveling with good friends and they were having difficulty making a reservation. Nothing is simple! Needless to say, this became complicated, but Antoine completely understood the situation, booked all of our rooms with very good rates and I'm so happy he answered my call!

Proprietor Mark, his Son Luke and Elaine make you feel welcome and well taken care of. We had cheese, crackers and wine waiting for us in our room. Home make chocolate chip cookies too! The breakfast of a muffin, fruit, crust less quiche and a potato casserole was delicious and filling. There is a nice comfortable sitting area where you can read, visit or play board games. The private garden out back is lovely too. The inn is an easy walk to downtown. Galena is full of beautiful historic homes and we enjoyed learning the history of Galena and the area from Mark. I highly recommend the Farmers Guest House when in Galena.

Cloran mansión My…read morehusband and I were celebrating our 10th anniversary and so we decided to stay at the Cloran Mansion for a few days. We booked the massage and dinner package as well as renewed our vows in front of the mansion. I cannot say enough about the amazing experience we had during our time here. Paul was an amazing host! He puts in a lot of details into making the experience one to remember. We have never stayed at a bed-and-breakfast so we were completely surprised by how wonderful and elegant the mansion was. On Thursday when we arrived, we had our scheduled massage, followed by our ceremony, and a private dinner in the dining room. Paul even took some pictures of us and gifted us with a beautiful framed picture of me and my husband. On Friday morning, we met some wonderful guest during our breakfast, and headed out to downtown Galena. Our breakfast was an excellent and tasty homemade breakfast, so much so, that we were so excited about breakfast the next day. Although Paul is basically the face of a mansion, his wife and employee work just as hard to make it an overall beautiful experience. We will definitely be back! We know that we have other options, but we cannot say enough about this place and want to continue to support Paul like he supports and tends to his customers. Paul and family, thank you so very much for making our 10th anniversary as memorable as you did.

She was professional, but kind of cool and not particularly friendly or conversational when I attempted to engage about the local area, the hotel, etc. The other reason for a one star deduct is that there is just about nothing else conveniently located to the hotel. Food, etc, you are basically on your own. No restaurants or anything. Each of those things merit a half star deduction in my mind, total of one down. I'd stay again. Likely it had just been a long day for the person checking us in. The room was very nice, clean, etc. Excellent access to the highway. 4/5 for sure, which is pretty good.

Recently, I needed to be in Maquoketa, Iowa, for a wedding, and I was glad to learn of the highly reviewed Squiers Manor B&B. With short notice I was able to make a reservation in the Beulah Room, named after one of the Squiers daughter's who grew up and was married in the house, whose father the house was built for. It was a lovely room with a twin bed for our 9 year old daughter, and at a most reasonable price too. The furnishings in our room and all the others we were able to see, were stunning. This may have been the finest B&B I have ever stayed in anywhere in the US and Canada. But not only was the building grand, and furnishings fantastic (Kathy and her husband are antique dealers and have searched high and low for the most amazing furnishings for their B&B), the hospitality was grand too. Kathy accommodated our need to check in a bit before standard check in between 4-8pm, and kindly greeted us and gave us a full tour of the house. If we have any disappointment at all, it was that we could not stay longer, enjoy the evening dessert or partake of the morning breakfast. We have heard it is great. We can't wait to get back to Maquoketa again and visit Squiers Manor again, and we would tell you to make a reservation here if you are passing through or staying for a few days in the area, it is a MAGNIFICENT B&B.
