Don't Stay At The Red Lion Governor Hotel!
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 staff was lovely, but the room was terrible. There were spiders between the curtains and the windows, the bathtub was dirty, and we only got one bath towel. If you like to torture yourself in the morning have a shower, it goes from ice cold to scolding hot in a matter of seconds no matter where you have the temperature set. I had to jump out of the shower to make sure my feet wouldn’t burn while waiting for it to go back to some sort of reasonable temperature. This hotel is extremely overpriced for what it is

Hotel was really nice in an older neighborhood. Property was really in good shape and the bed was awesome! The train whistle in the early am was a little jarring.

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.
