Stayed with family · For friends and family

This hotel was affordable and had a great free breakfast with it. It isn’t close to anything if you are sightseeing but the location worked for our car pickup and drop off. It is very outdated and a bit musty but the rooms are clean. Our shower didn’t work well nor did it drain. Foam spray visible around the window air conditioner. Our second room had a walk in shower and updated flooring which helped. Just a bit old and outdated. Worked for one night in each end of our trip as the cost wasn’t outrageous compared to downtown or airport hotels.

Great for last minute overnight stay before catching a super early flight because of the proximity to the airport. Need a car to get to downtown, otherwise it’s a 40 min walk. Old-fashioned room with dated furniture.

The room was very dated and the pic of room booked looked nothing like pic on website. The tv didnt work and when we were leaving saw some sort of weird big on the floor.The hallways smell old and gross. I do not recommend this place at all.

Although there was no smoking in the room, it still seemed to smell of old smoke. We were there for a very short time, so really of no consequence

Solo stay

The governor was a great place to stay, I’d go there again. I wasn’t thrilled with service in the pub even though I tipped. Maybe regulars are the most important people in there and I can appreciate that. Might need to spend some money on those booth seats cause they’re pretty worn. Other than those things, the governor as a whole is a good place.

Overall place was nice and in a very good location. The Pub on site was okay however understaffed for breakfast and some of the taps were flat. But the rooms and stay were nice I would come back for accommodations again.

Room was alright. Not as described on Expedia. Room was adequate. Cleaning staff only came when requested. If you don't request Room and towels never got changed or cleaned. Wait staff in restaurant was great. Either Expedia or hotel over charged and charged 300 more than the receipt. Contacting Expedia about this now
