Hotel needs a lot of work

Hotel was in a good location for walking to restaurants and the Washington Performing Arts Center but unfortunately has not been taken care of. The building was very run down throughout- all the furniture in the lobby and room was scuffed/damaged, stains on all the rugs/carpets, curtains missing hooks, piles of garbage (row boat, mattress, etc) in the parking lot. The room seemed clean- bedding and towel in good condition but they had tried to paint the bathtub with regular paint so it was peeling and did not seem usable.

Decent accommodations for a very rundown hotel

this hotel is very conveniently located to both the capital, and the Washington center for performing arts, a couple of restaurants, etc. However, it is quite rundown, dated, and the HVAC system is pretty wonky. For one night stay, it was perfectly fine for me. The front desk staff was very kind, responsive, and accommodating.

The Governor is a great spot and super affordable. The rooms have mini-refrigerators which is awesome. A lot of newer hotels don’t have them anymore. The location is very convenient & the staff is great.

I would love to give them better reviews but the floors were torn up and the tubs were falling apart some of them had no walls or missing parts on the wall as well as chunks missing out of the bottom of the tub after being moved and the next room having the same problem, It was better to just wait it out.

Amazing staff. Room was huge! Bed not so comfortable and when you are showering, water temperature repeatedly changes from scolding to ice cold as if someone is flushing the toilet over and over. Not enough towels given.

I prefer positivity, but dread lyin'

The room they sent me to was occupied. The bed wasn't made and someone's clothes and luggage were strewn about. They gave me a different room when I drew this to their attention. A candy bar I got from the 8th floor vending machine came out half melted. The shower ran too hot or too cold. The floor of the dinning area at breakfast was sticky. The coffee was pretty bad. The staff was kind and apologetic, but I will not stay at the Red Lion again.
