We're staying again!

We loved this old-fashioned, quaint Inn! All staff we experienced we're friendly and helpful. The room was almost perfect for our needs except the window air conditioner which was very dirty but once I cleaned the filter, it worked better. For us, the on-site restaurant was a huge bonus that we enjoyed very much. The meals and beer we're awesome and reasonably priced. We checked out before breakfast was served but a kitchen staffer heard us leaving and offered us a coffee for road - great service! No surcharge for parking and in a great area to explore. The restaurant atmosphere was comfortable and the decor interesting to check out. They are proud of their Spaulding High!

Great spot just need to improve a few things

Love the Governors Inn our only complaint is the beds just aren’t that comfortable, better than last time, but not the best still. Carriage house is cute but shower pressure was awful Restaurant & bar are fantastic & can’t say enough good things about staff ! Will go back but stay in different room !
