The employee was a nice guy (William) however the room was very old and the bathtub had cracks everywhere in the bottom, and there was no drain stopper. We asked for another room and we're told that there were no more rooms. We were supposed to have a king suite, and were given a king room instead (like we wouldn't notice,) the water in the shower was hot then cold then scolding hot then cold

All carpet - halls & rooms, was filthy. Hallways need painting - very grubby looking. Homeless people everywhere, along with drug deals. The first room they sent me to had Hot water running in the bathtub & I couldn't turn off. Went back to desk & they gave me another room. I asked if it had been reported before & he said 'yes', but they couldn't afford the plumber for one room, they were waiting for a bunch of them to need service before calling them.

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.

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
