Good Times at the Governor
By Jason S, 6/5/08
The Governor has history and beauty and an old style charm. The food at Jakes (the downstairs restaurant)is good and the hotel is very clean and in the heart of town. The parking fee is a bit much (but that is typical of that area - the hotel 2 blocks down is about the same). The gym is well-stocked and easy to access. For fun, take the elevator behind the reservation counter at Jakes - it's cool.

location was perfect
By pradeep, 10/6/07
The location was perfect and the staff went out of their way to assist us with information on ski packages, tours and shopping. The service was great! The complimentary breakfast was a real treat and a money saver. We met other guests from all over the United States and enjoyed visiting with them.

Excellent
By Jonny M, 8/13/07
A lovely hotel, well appointed, with an incredible staff. Really, the staff was beyond compare...friendly, attentive and always helpful. The health club was also great, with the best equipment I have seen in a hotel.

Great hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/26/06
The Governor Hotel is a great spot, very affordable, clean rooms and a perfect location. We loved our stay. Skip the smoke-filled bar/restaurant downstairs.

restaurant jakes @ the govoner
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/29/06
I have just moved here form Scottsdale, Arizona and have been at Jakes at the govoner hotel 3 times and have been sorley dissapointed in the food. The food is average at best. The service has always been by a career server that always looks down at his nose at me. All 3 times I have had to get up and refill my own water glass. The last time was the straw that broke the camels back. Went in for lunch and I overheard my server complain to another server how upset he was about the hostes seating him with a one top that probably wouldnt tip anyway. He droped my food off incomplete and that was the last time I saw him until he dropped off the check. The staff is rude to each other and the restaurant sounds like there is a dish throwing contest.

Would stay again
By klj, 12/29/05
We loved the Governor's Hotel for the ambiance, staff, and location in old town. Everything we wanted to do was very close-shopping and eating. The food was great at Jake's Grill- great bar. Had breakfast there too. Our room was nice, colors and furnishings, room service was right there, nice thick robes. If there was anything to pick on it would be the mattress-need to update them. My wife and I will come back to Portland to do more sight seeing and we will stay here again

Smartest Hotel in Portland
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/22/05
These guys get it! I was greeted by smiling valets, bellmen, a brilliant concierge and the hotel general manager before I could reach the beautiful new desk to check in. The restaurant is fantastic and this is the only hotel I've stayed in with a full-blown Starbucks (be prepared to wait... it's busy!) The rooms my colleagues and I had were large, very well appointed, and perfectly cared for. Our maid, Gelena, was funny and efficient. The best kept secret in Portland is the old guy shining shoes in the lobby. He wasn't there on my last visit, but 3 people commented on my shoe shine last week alone! The airfare and hotel expense are worth it if only for the world's best shoeshine. I won't stay anywhere else in Portland.
