Love the Governors Inn our only complaint is the beds just aren’t that comfortable, better than last time, but not the best still. Carriage house is cute but shower pressure was awful Restaurant & bar are fantastic & can’t say enough good things about staff ! Will go back but stay in different room !

The people were super nice from when you walked in until you left. Very helpful. We ate dinner in the Steak restaurant/Pub and it was fantastic! Food is great! We had a large suite type room and it was very large and had furnishings but the tv was way to small to see from across the large room. The bathroom fixtures were loose and coming off but the biggest think was it was 32 degrees out and there was no heat. They had this small fan type heater that we had on high the whole time and it was so cold I would not even shower. We had told them it was cold prior to dinner and she said that she would see if they could turn the heat up.... that didn't happen. But otherwise, I would recommend the restaurant and the hotel to anyone who was going to this area, but just don't go when its cold out! I did see a large ac in the closet so it would probably cool the room (if they put it in-lol) The people made up for the lack of heat with their warm friendly attitudes! They did have someone with a large dog in the room down the hall also, which was weird to me????

This is a lovely hotel with charming rooms!! The staff are amazing and welcoming. While we live quite far from here, we are thinking it would be worth the travel from Texas back to The Governors Inn just so we could spend more time here. First class all the way!!!

I’ve stayed here multiple times. It’s an older property which hasn’t quite been updated with modern features such as ample outlets and dated fixtures, but it’s a pleasant place to stay. It sort of has antique charm. Staff are friendly and there’s restaurant in the main building. It’s also walked to the center of town for more restaurants, bars, and shopping.

Although the staff was terrific, hotel conditions were absolutely horrible. Disgusting, dirty floors, hairs in the shower and stains on the bedding. My wife and i stayed on New Year's Eve for our first time at the "hotel", and it will definitely be our last.
