This hotel is run down to the point the ceiling is peeling in multiple locations in the room. There is no dresser in the room and only one bath towel in the bathroom. Hallways are dirty and depressing. I checked in around 9 AM and they charged me $50 then I had to wait at the room door while maintenance fixed the door key mechanism. The woman at the check in desk was nice and so was the maintenance man. I had to check out after only spending a few hours hours in the room. The hotel and room just has a 'gross' feeling.

The hotel and room was dated but clean. Front desk and check in was pleasant. Fall colors were nice from our balcony. The train noises late in the evening were disruptive.

The room was quite dirty, I worried about getting in the shower. The ac was broken and it was sweltering. I called the front desk and they brought us a broken box fan. The view was great!

Facility is beginning to show its age. Wall behind toilet had peeling paint, cracked bath tub, wall in bedroom had red splash stains (originally thought was blood, but trying to clean it, I believe now is nail polish). Facility was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. Parking lot was large enough to handle our F150, and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Several homeless on streets, but had a fun stay.

Forty years ago I stayed at Red Lions around the country, so I had high expectations. The facility was run down. While clean, the shower had simply been whitewashed (with paint on the chair in the living area). The towels were very thin and small, whereas the pillows on the bed were enormous and heavy. The temperature in the room was not easily controlled and all ice machines were out of order. Very sad.

Building is in poor condition. Bathtub was coated with house paint, which was peeling due to exposure to water. HVAC has only one mode at a time for the entire building. In mid-September, it had been switched to heating mode. The previous guest had left it on high, so room was sweltering. The room's toiletries had a very strong smell, reminiscent of Axe body spray, so the room felt and smelled like a Dj's armpit. The balcony was about 12 inches deep. One staff manages the desk alone so all exterior doors except one are locked. This means that if you park in the back, you then need to walk around most of the building to get in.

We had a horrible experience. We had 2 rooms, and in one of them, the door mechanism was defective and I got locked out of my room for an hour, with my purse and keys inside, until the maintenance guy could be tracked down. They were aware of the problem as the door had a sticker of the special way to open the door (which didn't work). I had to keep calling the front desk as they didn't follow up to see if the situation had been handled. At night we discovered that the deadbolt was also defective and did not lock. In the other room we had, the bathroom door was hung crooked and did not close. The sliding glass door was loose and at 3 am when I went to close it, the entire heavy glass door fell off and crashed outward onto the balcony railing - on the 8th floor! Through all of this I was treated with condescension by staff, and when I asked to speak to the manager I was told she was in a meeting and couldn't be disturbed. Just a terrible experience. Also the hotel is in disrepair and a lot of things are just janky. I would not recommend the Governor despite its great location.

The bathroom was not clean paint on the shower curtain marks in the toilet. The molding on the room wall was peeling off . It was so bad I canceled the second day stay and went to a different hotel. I am not sure what I need to get a refund for the second day.

This hotel is really showing it's age. The a/c in my room was barely adequate. The included breakfast was cold (as in no warm dishes) and not really worthwhile. The building wasn't properly secured/locked.

Front desk was super nice. 10 stars for the value. Older hotel, but clean. Shower didn’t drain well, but no big deal. Two minute walk to tons to do in the downtown. Free parking huge plus ! We didn’t need the air conditioning, but if we had to use it, it would be a big problem. Crazy loud, but we turned it off and didn’t need it as we are in the Pacific Northwest. Would absolutely stay there again.

Our first room had a bathtub that would not stop running and a broken bathroom door that wouldn’t close. They had no one to fix these issues and no other rooms available. They said they couldn’t refund us and we would have to work things out with Expedia if we wanted our money back, and that we couldn’t cancel because we already checked in. Someone else canceled and they were able to get us into a different room. This room also had a leaky spout. The whole building was very dirty, smelled like cigarettes, and was beat up. Type of place that makes you worry about catching an infection. Save your money, sleeping in your car will be a better experience. Front desk guy was nice though.

The bathtub liner was pealing, the railing on the porch on the 4th floor was shaky and rusty, and the vending machines and the ice machines were all broken. Breakfast consisted of only cereal, and no coffee. Do not recommend if you have children the neighborhood was very sketchy.

The shower was dirty. Carpet was dirty. Air conditioner would not adjust and it was loud. Front desk staff were good but the cleaning staff should be remediated or fired.
