Old, dingy hotel. Does NOT look like the photos. Homeless in front and inside the building. The room next to me at the end of a dark hallway had door handle and lock removed, but padlocked. Just super creepy, stinky and old. The only reason i didnt leave is because it was late at night.

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

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.
