Dingy but good location.
This Red Lion is in a great location and has a nice view. The lobby smelled of cigarettes, the mirror in the elevator was scratched and the scratches were covered by stickers. The ceiling in the hallways is weirdly low, the walls were dinged and grubby. The walls in the bedroom had old spill marks by the door, the faucet in the sink was loose and jiggled around, paint throughout the building is cracked and peeling, there was a hole in the ceiling in the shower and the towels were small and very thin. It is probably the dingiest hotel I’ve ever stayed I . The bed was comfortable, though.

Think twice about staying here.
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.

Nice view, nice location, extremely uncomfortable
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!

Beginning to show its age, clean, great location
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.

4/10 Fair

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.

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
