About This Bed and Breakfast
Riverview Mansion is a turn-of-the-century Victorian bed and breakfast located in Metropolis, Illinois, near the Ohio River and within easy reach of local shops and attractions. Constructed in the late 1800s and carefully restored, the inn offers individually styled guest rooms with private baths, set in a property rich in architectural detail and small-town charm.
Atmosphere
The ambiance is historic, welcoming and a little whimsical. Guests often remark on the mansion’s high ceilings, wood-paneled mouldings, sweeping staircases and period furnishings. With views toward the river and wrap-around porches or terraces, the setting invites both reflection and the delight of staying in a home with character.
Cleanliness
Accommodations are frequently described as clean and thoughtfully outfitted. Rooms come with modern touches—WiFi, flat-screen TVs, cozy bedding—alongside heritage decor. While the building retains its historic layout and features, guests note that comfort is well maintained throughout.
Bathrooms
Each guest room includes a private bathroom with modern fixtures. Many rooms carry unique names and offer features such as jetted tubs, river views, sitting areas, or original architectural touches like transom windows and antique furniture. The result is a stay that balances historic ambiance with present-day ease.
Breakfast
A complimentary breakfast is included with the stay—guests thank the hosts for a pleasant start to the day with continental options and warm service. The atmosphere for breakfast supports the inn’s hospitable feel and contributes positively to the guest experience.
