Great spot just need to improve a few things

Love the Governors Inn our only complaint is the beds just aren’t that comfortable, better than last time, but not the best still. Carriage house is cute but shower pressure was awful Restaurant & bar are fantastic & can’t say enough good things about staff ! Will go back but stay in different room !

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!!!
Diane, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The Governors Inn is a very special place for us because we were married there and is still probably a great place to get hitched. The people are super friendly and great so why did i give it 2 stars? We recently stayed there for our 11 year anniversary and the bed was the absolute worst. I felt like I was sleeping in my grandmas spare bedroom in the 80s. The bed is like sleeping on a box spring and the sheets/covers were pretty gross. It is ridiculuous that these beds havent been upgraded in a very long time. I hope they change this, it's a small investment and would make a very big difference. Till then I won't be back.
