What a fantastic hotel. A historic hotel that has been completely renovated with updated looks. I love how the floors creek and the staff was on top of it. Anything we needed at a drop of a hat. Jakes is a great bar and Starbucks is just downstairs. Talk about the best gym I have been too! new machines and... More

This is a nice historic hotel in a great downtown location. The rooms are nice but a standard room is a little on the small side. We ended up on the 5th floor, room 513, and I believe we were next to a boiler room or something because we could hear the hum of machinery constantly, which was not my... More

We bought our rooms for the Governor Hotel through a Priceline bid for $85 a night. A great price for the location of this historic hotel. My rating of this hotel is definitely reflective of the price that we paid. The location of the hotel is great. Just around the corner from Pioneer Courthouse Square, down a couple blocks to... More

It is such an elegant old hotel. We were there for a wedding weekend. Our room was spacious and the room where the wedding, reception, and brunch the next day were held were lovely. We had a so-so meal at Jakes, but believe it was a fluke, as many others had a good one there. We'd certainly choose it again. More

My wife and I decided to make a quick trip to Portland for a weekend away and came across the Governor on travelportland.com with a package that included breakfast at Jake's and valet parking. The hotel common spaces do their utmost to make the impression of a luxury hotel with fine decor including staff and doormen that impress. The problem... More

At the very pulse of downtown Portland, this beauty of a hotel experience marries esteemed luxury with warm comfort. Adored by both the well renowned and the regular, the Governor has appealed to the masses for years, adding a touch of old Portland history to one’s stay. With its renovated rooms within historic walls, décor excellence, fabulous amenities, and modern... More

We enjoyed our stay a lot. Room look really luxury, the staff is very friendly. Valet parking allows you to keep the car with them until the end of the day, so you don't have to re-park after you check out before you leave the city. More

My wife and I are locals but we're "test-staying" some upscale hotels so that we know what to recommend to visiting friends and relatives. Last night we stayed at The Governor. The Positives: It's beautiful outside and in (except for the elevators) and wonderfully located. Our fifth floor corner room had magnificent views and the bed was comfortable. There's a... More

I had not stayed at the Governor for some years. It was a fantastic classic historic Pacific NorthWest hotel, with amazing antique photographs, furniture from the period, etc. It seems some clueless East Coast business folk bought it five or six years back, threw out all the antiques, sold off the lobby to McCormack and Slick, and turned it into...
