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.

Room was very small, and the shower was awkward & strange. The bedside alarm clock went off 4 times during the night! Bed was hard, but the pillows were great. The man who carried in our luggage also washed our car windshield and brought us coffee. It is an interesting place.
