10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful staff and a rooms overlooking a beautiful lake. Shopping and amazing food are within walking distance.
Malia, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Would never stay here again

Very run down hotel. Car got broken into in the hotel parking lot.
Kimberly, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Perfectly cromulent experience

This place isn’t horrible, but it isn’t great either. It was nice to be in the middle of downtown, but the room AC didn’t work, there was water damage on the ceiling and walls, and the overall experience was underwhelming.

2/10 Poor

This is definitely not a three star hotel… I don’t even think it’s a 1 star.. horrible experience
Derek, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t waste your money!

Terrible, would never stay here again. Stayed for 5 nights. Beds were never made and fresh towels were a challenge to get. You had to turn in old towels at the front desk in order to get new towels. Infested with drug addicts and several homeless people in the hotel parking lot. Motel6 would have been a better option.
Carol, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient downtown hotel

The hotel fit our needs. Good location for us, quiet, free parking in an urban area, comfortable bed and seating area, coffee in the room.
mark, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

NOT A 3 STAR

Listed as a 3 star. It would be a stretch to call it a 2 star. Peeling paint, even in the shower that was apparently painted. Carpet pulling up. Missing ceiling tiles in common areas. Chairs in rooms dated and worn. The have an old copy of a list of what you will pay for missing/damaged towels, etc. 3 wtar hotels dont do that. Water temp vacillated between scalding and freezing. without touching the faucet knob. Looks like Red Lion recently acquired. Normally their properties are nice. Hopefully this one is improved. Staff was nice.

Price was great. For that I’ll stay again

Hotel was grand once. Now dated and in need of repair and update. Staff was courteous, room was clean. The historical photos on the lobby wall were beautiful and interesting.
Cynthia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hot no sleep night

Ac didn’t work, very hot hot room. We had to sleep with screen door open which had no screen and wasn’t child safe. That means one parent had to stay awake all night to make sure the kids didn’t fall out the window. It is unkempt, old. Hair on pillows and in tub, spiders in tub. Bathtub is cracked and peeling. Carpet has a big rip. Outlet covers are broken and don’t cover the wires.
Megan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel is in need of update and there was no heat in the lobby. But the room was very clean with a great view of the lake.
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hot temperatures in the hallway and room.

I went to this the hotel on 2/28 and leave less than 30min. It’s was awful temperature and dirty in the room. I booked it to another better hotel.

DIDNT FEEL SAFE

The pictures that they provide online are NOT what my room looked like. VERY OUTDATED! I was afraid to walk to my car because of the transients. I felt unsafe walking to the elevator. Police were there daily.

Red Lion Governor’s Hotel way past due remodeling

We planned to stay at this hotel for a week, but had to check out the next day because of numerous issues. No air conditioners and heat in mid April, not only in our room, which was above 80 degrees, but the whole hotel, except for lobby and the elevator. On top of that, the light bulb in bathroom was the heating bulb. There’s no way to air the room, because the huge sliding door only opens with a lot of effort for 3 in and without the mosquito screen. Rooms are more neglected than shabby with torn comforters, dirty bedding, peeling wall and ceiling plaster, cobwebs etc. Homeless people wondering about.
Olga, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Governor is a great spot and super affordable. The rooms have mini-refrigerators which is awesome. A lot of newer hotels don’t have them anymore. The location is very convenient & the staff is great.
Chris, 1-night trip

Decent accommodations for a very rundown hotel

this hotel is very conveniently located to both the capital, and the Washington center for performing arts, a couple of restaurants, etc. However, it is quite rundown, dated, and the HVAC system is pretty wonky. For one night stay, it was perfectly fine for me. The front desk staff was very kind, responsive, and accommodating.

Mold on walls

I got in late just needed a bed to sleep in. Everything looked fine to my tired eyes. When I woke up in the morning I noticed all the mold in the bathroom and stains on the carpet

Great Deal!

Its was honestly amazing for the price I've stayed at sh*tholes for more.
Angis, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a basic hotel room, I'm wouldn't take a shower/ bath because there was a huge cracking and removal of the coating of the inside of the tub. It didn't look sanitary and looked kinda rusty. Iwish I'd taken a picture. The beds were hard and the balcony door said it only opened 4 inches for safety, but it opened all the way. Service was great, very friendly and inviting. But the room left us with something else to be desired.
