The BEALL MANSION, Alton

This place is awesome. My fiance and I could not have been happier with the service. I have been to a few five star hotels and they could not hold a candle to the grandeur and artistry of this place. The architecture and the antiques inside of this victorian mansion are reason enough to visit. We got a great deal on groupon and it paid off. Rose pedals on the beds, heart shaped hot tub, chocolate buffet, free bath salts, complimentary champagne, a smooth brandy for a night cap, what more should be said. This place will sweep any woman off of her feet. This is not a party house or a playhouse mind you but if you want to please that special someone you can not go wrong with this choice. The two owners made sure everything was to our liking and always made sure we were satisfied. We would definitely recommend the Beall Mansion to anyone looking for a romantic stay.

Very relaxing. Nice spa treatment. Breakfast in bed. Just minutes from downtown activities and restaurants. Close to argosy casino and fast Eddie's. Jim and sandy are the best.

Wonderful place, we enjoyed our stay a lot! I definitely recommend this place to stay while in Alton. Superb, clean, very comfortable and welcoming. This Mansion is everything you'd ever wanted to spend a night (or more) in. Thank you Jim and Sandy very much for your hospitality!

Decorated in a beautiful victorian style and met at the door by the owner in a full tux!! You really feel like you are a socialite in the 1800's. The food was wonderful and we really enjoyed having Brandy in the music room in the evening and getting meet the other guests. Just a great experience.

This is a GREAT place to stay! Jim & Sandy have done an amazing job and make the entire stay very pleasant. They surpassed every expectation that I had, and would recommend the Beall Mansion to everyone!

The Beall mansion is just gorgeous. The hosts have really thought of just about every amenity, 24 hour chocolate bar and so many other nice touches. We so enjoyed our stay in the J.B. Zob room. It was so comfortable and beautiful with a fireplace and whirlpool. You feel as if you are stepping back in time to a slower, more relaxed pace.

Had a wonderful time and LOVED the candy bar!!!! We are already planning our next trip

We took a short detour from our six day Route 66 road trip so that we could stay at the Beall Mansion Bed and Breakfast. When I mentioned we'd be spending the night at a B&B that was also a mansion, my wife got excited. When I told her they have a 24/7 gourmet chocolate buffet, she nearly fainted. When she asked if we'd miss Dancing with the Stars, I said "No, they have flat screen tv's.", well she nearly cried. When, upon arriving, we were warmly greeted by the butler, we both got flush and felt like royalty. (Jim, the co-owner along with his lovely wife Sandy, plays the role of the butler quite well and seems to relish it) The home has been lovingly restored by Jim & Sandy and the antiques, decor and atmosphere within it are worth the price of admission alone. We stayed in the Servant's Quarters room (Who knew servants had it so good) & chose the continental breakfast and enjoyed it, but next time we'll have to try the gourmet breakfast in bed! After our short stay we hated to leave but the Mother Road beckoned. Well, it took us all of three days, but we just couldn't wait to go back...and so we did. This time we stayed in the spacious and lovely Veranda room and perused the wonderful jacuzzi after a long day of Mother Roading (not to mention fighting rush hour traffic in St. Louis!) Later, we got some fresh air on our own private veranda. We've stayed at some nice B&B's, including a handful in the UK, but THIS is living. Ah, but alas, ol' man time once again asked us to return to our real world back home in Indiana. But (ler), we shall return!!!

We were made to feel right at home. The atmosphere is very relaxing but with a lot of charm.

Bell is lovely, beautifully appointed with excellent services. I wish I had stayed longer
