Galena's historic district is the backdrop for a handful of bed-and-breakfasts that pair Victorian-era architecture with modern hot tubs. For around $150-$250 per night, you get a private room, a cooked breakfast, and access to a jacuzzi-often in a garden or on a terrace. Two standout properties are Cloran Mansion Bed & Breakfast, just 1.8 km from the Ulysses S. Grant home, and Riverboat Suites, a 6-minute walk from Belvedere Mansion. Both offer free WiFi, parking, and family-friendly room options, making them practical bases for exploring Main Street's shops and galleries.
Riverboat Suites earns a 9.2 guest score for its spotless rooms, friendly host, and hot tub on the sun terrace. Cloran Mansion, rated 9.7, wows with a spa bath in-room, garden views, and an exceptional breakfast. If you're traveling with kids, note that Riverboat Suites has family rooms and a child-friendly buffet; Cloran Mansion offers ground-floor units for easy access. Book early-these places fill up fast, especially during Galena's leaf-peeping weekends.
