1. Upon arriving at the hotel the valet stated that the daily rate was $35/day. Website stated $27/day. 2. Arriving at room 6003 the key didn't work and neither did the bellman's master key. Maintenance came up and couldn't open the door and had to resort to re-program the lock. 3. No refrigerator in room, and NO DRESSER for our... More

My wife and I frequent Portland as much as we can just as a getaway for an overnight as was such the occasion this time. Booked The Governor through priceline.com and got a fantastic price based on the going room rates. We arrived to the hotel and were immediately greeted by the doorman/valet. I'm going to get the only thing... More

I visit Portland regularly and always stay downtown at The Monaco or The Nines but from now on I will stay at The Governor. My room had the MOST fantastic view and sitting outside on the patio with a glass... More

We booked a 3 night stay at The Governor through Tavel Portland and the 'travel perks' package included car parking, breakfast and a coupon book. We considered this great value before leaving home but now that we've been to Portland we know it was sensational value for the price. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to shopping, public... More

This hotel at one time was beautiful. It still is, but in great need of new carpet, courteous front desk staff and some logic. TV's can not be viewed from the bed without moving the TV; then the remote still won't reach, which is probably fine since the guide is worthless too. Coffee pots have to be moved around the... More

We visited the Governor Hotel in downtown Portland last weekend because we were attending a wedding there on Saturday night. We were very impressed with the hotel and it's staff. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty! The front desk was friendly and quickly gave us our room key. They asked if we needed dinner reservations... More

I booked our room through Priceline for a one-night stay in Portland on our way back home from wine country in Willamette Valley. I had high hopes due to other TripAdvisor reviews, but I was very happy with our experience. We walked into the very fancy lobby muddy and sweaty from an afternoon of hiking and felt a little self-conscious,... More

We stayed at the Governor Hotel for a quick weekend getaway and what a great hotel it is. The service was impeccable from the moment we arrived to the minute we left. Our questions about the hotel, it's amenities, directions to local attractions, and suggestions for places to eat were all answered with a zest for the city! The room... More
