Amazing experience with wonderful hosts

Our experience started the night before with Jim calling and asking our breakfast drinking, coffee or tea. The next morning the coffee and tea were ready and waiting for us. Jim gave us a tour of the Mansion. T>he rooms, including the bathroom were spotless and jet powered tub, provided an excellent way to end the evening in a relaxed mood. Jim suggests several restaurants, we went to one of several restaurants he recommended and Jim and Sandy arrived later to the same restaurant. The downtown area has many antique shops and we made a few purchases. Also you many want to stop at Fast Eddie's, an iconic pub that's been here over 40 year's. The prices for the food at 60's prices is a bargain. You must by at least one beverage. This was a terrific way to spend a relaxing weekend. We plan to return in the Fall.

An Alton, IL Gem!

My girlfriend and I wanted a girls night out. We wanted to visit some local attractions in Alton Illinois. This place was convenient which was the original reason we chose the place. But I was pleasantly surprised at the friendliness and professionalism of the owners and staff. I rarely sleep well the first night when I stay away from home. I slept like a baby and woke up feeling refreshed. This was a win win!

The owner of the property took the time to explain the history of the place and of the antique furnishings and decorations. It was very informative and very welcoming.

A romantic getaway in an historic setting

The Beall House Mansion brims with artifacts from its elegant past. This Bed&Breakfast also has many comfortable, modern amenities for a romantic get-away. Situated in a quiet neighborhood of historic homes, it's still less than a mile from the rejuvenated and lively downtown. The hosts are very accommodating but never obtrusive.

Lovely Historic B&B

This was my first stay at the historic Beall Mansion, but it won’t be the last. The staff was very gracious, courteous and knowledgeable. The neighborhood was quiet and full of similar styled homes. One must remember this is an older historic mansion-the wooden floors and stairs will creak a little when walked on. I fully expected this, and for me, that only added to the charm of this beautifully furnished mansion and made me feel “at home”.

Really enjoyed our stay. The mansion is beautiful, clean. We took several pictures of ourselves in front of the fireplace, and Tiffany lamp. Was very nice to be given keys so that we could come & go as we please. They had Diet Coke in the frig, Thank You. I visited the chocolate bar several times. We ended up having a funeral to go to the next day, so had to get up early & leave before breakfast. They were kind to get up earlier to make us coffee, so we could have that with our bagel.

Special place

This is a very special place. It would be perfect for a honeymoon or romantic weekend. The home is beyond lovely and has a very interesting history, which the owner is happy to share. As we were in town on business and had to rush off in the mornings we didn’t get to partake in the breakfasts but we did make a point to enjoy the candy buffet! The neighborhood is full of beautiful historic homes but is not an easy walk to restaurants and shopping.
