We have stayed there before and love the fact that they are pet friendly and only charge you 20.00 dollars for pet fee instead of $50-$80 a night. Much better!! The Governors restaurant is an amazing place for a delicious home cooked meal!

Attached to the hotel is the Governor's restaurant (the pictures that show bakery items under glass). Pool and hot tub are well maintained, I see maintenance and staff all around the property from early hours until late. Grab and Go breakfast choices on par with many breakfast options from most hotel chains. Super awesome desk staff, Genn and Julie were very helpful with sites for various topics around town, and requests.
