We’ve frequently stayed at the Governor’s Inn. Room furniture and fixtures are a bit dated, but that’s the charm. The property is older, and every room has its quirks. Staff are friendly and there’s a restaurant and bar on the main floor.

We needed a nice place to stay that would also accommodate our 7 month old 70 lb puppy. The people were so nice. We were able to find outdoors, they even had a pup cup for our pup. The hotel is historic and very nice. Our room was spacious and very comfortable! We will go back!
