• It was a quality hotel, located in a good area with character.
• Our room had a view of a wall/rooftop.

“This hotel only has eight "double bed" rooms. Which leaves people with children "up in the air." We had a king bed and ordered a roll-away to fit us. One of us (thankfully, our seven years old) ended up in a roll-away.”

• Nice work out facility, good location.
• Wireless internet was terrible. Parking fees are outrageous. Zero view from room.

“I felt like a prison inmate in my room. It had 3 skylights and one window which provided a great view of the backside of the Front Facia. The wireless internet did not reach to that room.”

• Overall it was comfortable and conveniently located with beautiful decor.
• Breakfast at the restaurant was bad, eggshell in the omelets.

“The Governor is conveniently located in Downtown Portland. The restaurant Jakes has old style charm with great food. The decor is beautiful, beds are comfortable and the rooms were quite. The staff was prompt and friendly, I would stay again.”

• Very helpful staff, excellent restaurant, classic old hotel, nicely restored.
• Room was a bit on the small size.

“Great old hotel which has been restored to include the elegant features of turn of the century hotels. The staff was uniformly helpful and pleasant. The restaurant was outstanding and the public spaces were well decorated, comfortable, and well maintained. Only negative, and it was minor, was that the room we had was a bit on the small size as was the bathroom. Probably characteristic of hotel rooms of the era. Would stay there again.”

• The hotel staff were superb.
• Cannot think of one thing.

“The staff in this establishment were exceptional at what they do. Every request I had was met and even exceeded immediately. The architecture of the building and my room was of the 1920s era simply divine. The location of the hotel was perfect. You could take a short walk or ride the free light rail to any location in the city. Due to previous reviews I was expecting billing or construction issues, I had none of them. This hotel is a perfect place for any type of traveler, and I would highly recommend it.”

• Very friendly service, conveniently located downtown, rooms have character and charm.

“Great hotel, very friendly service, nice location downtown. Room had character and charm not found in newer hotels, although the room had a Queen bed and is smaller than newer hotels. Highly recommend!”

• beautiful building, friendly service, nicely renovated room
• still under construction/renovation in many common areas, which was unsightly and difficult to get around

“It's housed in a beautiful historical building on the edge of downtown. The location is less convenient than some other downtown Portland hotels I've stayed in. The hotel appears to be undergoing an extensive renovation in an effort to upgrade itself significantly, and I think it will be a lovely place to stay once all the renovations are complete.”

• Beautiful hotel, with good location, service and bar/restaurant.
• The floor we stayed on was being painted.

“The Governor has classic elegance and excellent service. They are at the end of a large scale renovation. Jake's Bar and Grill, located in the Governor Hotel, is a well known steak and seafood restaurant in Portland. The bar is always happening and has a good menu and stiff drinks.”

“Delighted with my stay at the Governor. Classic elegance, superior service (quick to respond to room requests), close to shopping in the N.W. or downtown, 3 blocks from Powell's bookstore (for the literary crowd).”
