The Cloran was a lovely historic home. Paul was very accommodating and the breakfast was great. This was our first stay at a B&B so we were a little nervous about privacy. After we got settled, enjoyed Galena, and returned to the outdoor fire it was like we were visiting with friends and family. Highly recommend the stay.

Absolutely perfect weekend getaway spot for romance! My partner and I wanted to celebrate our first anniversary in Galena and a friend recommended the Cloran to us. What can I say? It was absolutely wonderful! Paul was the perfect host. He was communicative and welcoming when we arrived. He told us a brief history about John’s room where we would be staying and let us know he was available for any need we had. The room was beautiful and clean and the towels were so soft! The bed was very comfortable and the jacuzzi tub was big enough for two with room to spare! The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and he even incorporated some local fare into the meal and we went out and purchased the preserves and fruit butters that we’d tried. The grounds were spacious and parking was easy. We plan to make a return trip to Galena and will be staying at the Cloran and recommending it to everyone! Thank you Paul!!

We went to Cloran Mansion to celebrate my husband's 76th birthday. The mansion was fabulous. It is beautifully decorated with antiques and other interesting decor. You really can see the stars from Anna's room jacuzzi. There also is a fireplace and a hanging lamp that opens like a flower. So cool.The owner, Paul, was our host who met us at the front door. He told us about the restaurants. We loved Fried Green Tomatoes. Great food. After dinner, he showed us all the amenities - coffee, tea, water, sodas and more than a 100 CDs. We wish we could have stayed longer than a night. Love the Cloran in Galena!

Extremely comfortable room, lovely comfy sheets and bath toiletries. Small handy fridge in room and beautiful fireplace. Loved the quiet but efficient ceiling fan. Really appreciate mirrors in bedroom to apply make up, when husband is showering. Paul is very helpful and friendly. Check in is a breeze. FABULOUS breakfast!! We are coming back to this B&B, as the restaurants & shopping are top notch in Galena!

The house was very nice and the service, food and cleanliness top notch. The location was farther from downtown Galena than I had hoped, however, and also (through no fault of the owner) the construction across the street and the cornfields in back did not make for a very picturesque location.

Beautiful B&B
We’ve been to Galina 3 times and stayed in B&B’s. The Cloran Mansion was by far the most enjoyable. The breakfast and presentation was beautiful. Paul was certainly a top notch host
