Just returned from a stay at The Governor Hotel. We had a Parlor Suite and it was great. The windows opened to the street so we could feel the cool Portland air. The entire staff was professional and friendly. The con is that some of the non Parlor Suite rooms were very small but if you can upgrade to a... more

A difficult choice to stay here with mixed Tripadvisor reviews, but having stayed believe it should have a higher rating! The competitive price and location won out and we do not regret our decision. We requested a ‘Superior Queen’ room actually got two double beds and paid $127 per night (week night, two nights). Our room in the East Wing... more

Came in from New York with our older kids (19, 24) and one of their friends (21) for a family wedding and stayed in two adjoining suites on the 6th floor. The rooms were big, clean and appointed very nicely. We had some minor issues with certain things not working, and the staff was very quick to accomodate us. The... more

Beautiful old hotel with small rooms, no fridge, bathroom pretty basic, but clean upon arrival although housekeeping could have been better for second night. Halls are nice, carpet and other linens perfectly fine. Downstairs lobby is very pretty but not welcoming -- we usually try to "use" our hotels to get a real since of the place, but this one,... more

Our review is much different then the previous review. We had never stayed at the Governor and wanted a place in downtown Portland that we thought would be upscale. We were not disappointed. The location could not be better as it was within walking distance to some good retail shopping, and immediately out of the hotel was the free streetcar... more

Well, when people ask how my trip to Portland was… I must reply… it was great once we got to the right hotel. Several years ago we took advantage of a big deal package at the Governor’s Hotel, it was very pleasant, a nice room with a fireplace, the steam room and pool. So I planned, a couple of months... more

Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights mid-January for a business meeting nearby. Had a great corner room with a fireplace. Upon check in, I noticed that there were crumbs on the sofa but that was easily taken care of with a quick wipe off. The stay was very nice, the front desk staff was great. My main concern was... more

I spent 4 nights at The Governor recently and decided to splurge on some off-season specials and booked a Suite with a Fireplace for under $200 a night. This was my fifth or sixth stay at The Gov but I had never stayed 4 consecutive nights. Let me start with the many positives of this Hotel: the Staff is superb... more

I stayed at the Governor in downtown Portland in May 2007 for a business trip. A fantastic historic hotel that has been modernized and remodeled. First of all my room was HUGE--one of the largest standard rooms I've stayed in at a hotel! King size bed, sitting area, desk and chair, free internet access, big tv. Nice clean bathroom. Good... more

The Governor is a physically nice, if not outstanding, property in a convenient location with a great restaurant (Jake's). Service, while not always rapid and sometimes reflective of the smaller, rather unconventional town that Portland is and prides itself on being, was usually, eventually, good and done in good spirits. Catered events in and by Jake's were excellent; the food... more
