If you are looking for character, the name Governor's Mansion says a lot. It's an old mansion that has some incredible history. The parlor has a piano, fireplace, a couple of sofas and chairs, and a collection of antiques and, well, lots of old stuff. Actually, the entire mansion is decorated with antiques, chandeliers, and other historic items. Each of the rooms are a bit different, of course, the "governors room" is the best. We were the only guests in the house so we peeked into the other rooms.
It's not exactly close to anything town related, so don't expect to walk anywhere for dinner or shopping.
They also have a second floor deck that has been enclosed and converted into a library that is ideal for sitting and viewing the river.
It's probably not the cheapest place in town but it is definitely unique. You can stay here and save a few dollars a person by opting out of breakfast. That's what we did so we cannot attest to the quality of the breakfast. However, the eating area is quite nice.
The wifi works well except in the room we stayed in (the Fronsac room), probably because it is located in the back of the mansion.
Beds were comfortable, rooms were nice, and the bathrooms were clean. The host was polite and had a vast knowledge of the mansion and area's history of you're interested. read more
