Perfect for our one night stay. We walked to dinner and the the Overture Center. The mansion has so much character. My husbad did feel the bed was lobsided. My side was fine. Scones and coffee were great!

This was one of my favorite stays ever! We had a private entrance and the whole place to ourselves, and it was a very good bargain for this time of year… walking distance from the capital and the farmers market. The details were immaculate, and it was like having my own apartment away from home. I will definitely stay here again!

The fact that several governors had actually previously lived on the property was fascinating. The downstairs rooms were very spacious and intriguing. The breakfast had a nice variety of items to choose from and the coffee was good!

Nice property, lots of space to work and socialize on ground floor. Comfortable rooms. Nice continental breakfast included. Only a few blocks walk to Capital, and a block or so to Lake.

We loved the location, vibe, lobby, and room. Everything is very clean and new. Great location on the lake, and close to downtown! Only downfall was the bed seemed smaller than a queen and was not the most comfortable.

I loved this renovated old mansion, built in 1854. It’s been remarkably redone, beautiful with crystal chandeliers and antique furniture.

The Governor's Mansion Inn Garden suite was perfect for our stay to visit with family. The suite was modern, clean and had everything we needed. The location is great. Enjoyed seeing the first floor of the mansion and learning of its history.
