This past weekend, a coworker and I, had the pleasure of staying at the Isle-Of-View B&B in Metropolis, Illinois. We are both employees of the state and we are limited to hotels that offer the state rate. I was having a difficult time finding a hotel in this area. Luckily, I contacted Kim directly (she is the owner of the... more

Unfriendly greeting; most interested in collecting the money! Baseboards dirty; linens smelled; lovely curtains surrounding the bed needed full laundry ASAP! No amenities in the lovely victorian bathrooms--not one surface to put anything. I ended up using a towel on the floor. Unless you are in a crisis on the road, don't go! more

Although we hate to see unflattering reviews of our B&B it does give us the opportunity to see things from many different perspectives. Housekeeping is a major priority for us and sometimes it is difficult to do deep cleaning projects when the house is booked wall to wall. Please rest assured that these issues were addressed shortly after this guest's...

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Kim. We had a wonderful time. We went there for one night only and got upgraded to the the Isle of view room. The room was large and had everything that a person could need. I loved having our own bath room in the room unlike some other places. Too bad that... more

My wife and I had a very memorable experience staying with Kim. We found her to be very friendly, informative, and wonderful to converse with while we stayed at her Inn. We would highly recommend staying there to anyone interested in travelling and staying at B&B's. more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Isle of View B&B for a quick romantic weekend and we LOVED it. The establishment is "quaint" and the accommodations were wonderful. The two packages I ordered (spa basket and candles) were there upon our arrival and the complementary soda, popcorn, and coffee were much appreciated. Kim, the owner, was extremely helpful and... more

We had a great time - the b & b was very comfortable and well-decorated, and the food was great! The owner was helpful in offering suggestions for off-the-beaten-path things to do. If we pass through Metropolis again, we will definitely stay here. more

We stayed at Isle of View for New Years Eve. This was our first time of staying there and it won't be our last. We had a wonderful time. The Inn had a lot of beautiful antiques in every room. We stayed in the Peach Room and it was very nice. The next morning we had a delicious breakfast. Kim... more

Don't expect too much if you plan to stay here. There is no heat in the rooms. The bedding was stained - did not want to examine too closely afraid of what might be found. The wallpaper was peeling, and the closet door handle fell off. Emergency fire escape procedures indicate one should climb out on the roof and wait!... more

I just wanted to follow up on the concerns raised by these guests. We have taken care of the wallpaper issue and fixed the door knob. We could find no evidence of any stains or discoloration on the linens. One of our goals is to provide wonderful linens and bedding, and we have recently replaced all sheets and towels.Our new...

My husband and I stayed here in March for a quick getaway. We chose this place because pets are allowed, so we were able to bring our dog with us. That part was very nice! I have no real complaints about the inn itself, except to say that we have stayed at nicer places for the same amount of money.... more
