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!

My overnight stay was perfect! Room and bathroom were very clean. Enjoyed it more than staying at a hotel! Although the restaurant didn't have a lot of GF options, everything smelled awesome. I would have given it a try if I didn't have other plans. Will stay here again anytime I am in Rochester!!!
