Riverview Mansion

Our stay was INCREDIBLE! First, apologies on how long it took to get to this review. It’s been go go go since we returned. However, our stay here was so amazing that it hasn’t left our minds. So, the “bed” part of bed and breakfast? So comfortable! The rooms were amazing and had such a sense of history. The rooms were very spacious and beautifully decorated. Vintage wallpaper and bed dressings give you the full effect of traveling in time to a bygone era. The showers and bathtubs were great. The tubs were the claw foot standalone type tubs and not the typical Home Depo special you get in motels and hotels. There’s just something about showering in one of those tubs that takes you back. However if you want to use them, there are indeed wonderful modern jacuzzis available in the rooms as well which are super relaxing after a day of walking around and sightseeing and shopping. Things were very comfortable inside despite it being very hot and so humid outside. And there were extra fans if you needed them and you wanted to stay cooler too. The furniture is actual wood and not the cheap particle board stuff used with in so many places today. The wood just feels “rich and elegant.” From the outside, you get such a sense of history. The place is absolutely beautiful. Now… the “breakfast” part of bed and breakfast was so filling. You will eat like you’ve never eaten before and will want more but won’t have the space to put it. I wish we could have stayed an extra day even just for the food. The owner asks about your preferences and needs and does such a great job with the food. She makes a killer sweet tea as well! The place was remarkably maintained and the owner was so welcoming. She felt like a family member we haven’t seen in so long, like a grandmother to us and our kids. She was super flexible about the check in and check out times as well, enabling us to get a quick shower in before leaving so that after sight seeing we didn’t need to sit in our sweaty clothes for the next leg of the trip. We so much wanted to stay longer! It was such a great experience there is no doubt that we will stay here every time we come to Metropolis. Oh and I should mention that when you stay here, you do get admission to the Superman museum included in the cost which is just icing on the cake. So really, why are you still reading? Book a stay. You will not be disappointed. Five stars, fifty stars, five hundred stars!

We loved staying here in this historical house, it felt like being in a movie set! Hosts were awesome, friendly and kind and knowledgeable. It felt like staying with family. The breakfast from Lori was the best breakfast I've had in a long time, and even was served with much warmth and hospitality. The in-room jacuzzi was the best, too.

We needed a room for family in town visiting, and the mansion was perfect! Accommodations were so comfy & relaxing. The mansion is full of history and antiques. The owner is so kind and friendly, making it feel like home. She's also an incredible chef who makes sure guests are happy and very well-fed a delicious breakfast. This will be our go-to place for visiting friends & family! Highly recommend

The bed and breakfast was beautiful and amazing! The rooms were gorgeous. Love the sit down tub/shower with jets and lights. The jacuzzi tub felt wonderful! Both are so relaxing! The owners were great and treat you just line family! Makes you feel just like home! The location is so close to all the attractions and restaurants! Breakfast was so delicious! Definitely recommend and we will be back!
