The help make the difference
Pros:

Enjoyed our stay very much. We found the staff particularly helpful and of special note, Anthony the bellman, who was always there to help or provide guidance. My only concern was the slowness of the elevator.

1 Star Experience at 4 Star Prices
Pros:

We had to book a room here on July 4 2026 due to power outages in the area. I called before I booked to make sure that the hotel had power and a/c in the rooms and was told yes to both. They lied. When we got to the room the a/c was barely coming out of the vents and was doing nothing to cool the room down. The bathtub didn't drain and was ridiculously slippery, essentially a lawsuit waiting to happen, and the sliding bathroom door wouldn't shut all the way. The desk clerk did send the engineer to our room to adjust the HVAC, but it barely improved for only 2 hours. On the 4th trip to the desk I was given a column fan which marginally helped. The staff blamed the a/c problems on the outage, but when I checked previous reviews there were the same complaints about the a/c going back 5 years, so they lied again. The food was overpriced, my friend got sick from the avocado blt he had, the bacon looked like it had gone through an incinerator. I used to stay here a lot between 10-20 years ago whenever we would lose power due to storms or when the house I was renting was getting work done, basically before Marriott bought it in 2016, and back then it was wonderful. A true excellent Westin experience. And that's why I didn't check reviews before I booked this time, I didn't know they had changed ownership, if I had checked I never would have booked here. The staff was very nice, but that was the only decent thing in this entire experience. I will never stay here again, at least not until Marriott decides to replace/upgrade the HVAC system. It's a shame because it used to be a beautiful, wonderful hotel.

Mixed stay
Pros:

Stayed here during a soccer tournament, great location but the air conditioning does not work well due to this being a historic hotel it’s never been upgraded. Rooms are humid and never get super cold. The gym has outdated machines that are squeaky. The pool was closed our entire time due to bacteria or something they could not confirm exactly. One morning I had to wait a long time for the server to return to the coffee station, not ideal when on a schedule. The restaurant Blue Morel is the best part of this hotel 5 stars for the food and ambience! Service at the front desk was nice and pleasant. Not the best Westin experience but thr staff was friendly and helpful.

Wedding Hotel Block
Pros:

The Westin Governor Morris was the perfect hotel for our wedding. Charday was an absolute pleasure to work with … super nice, very responsive and attentive when we arrived. If you are contemplating where to book for your wedding block, I highly recommend. We were able to drop off our wedding bags that week and the process with seamless with the shuttle transportation being included to/from the hotel and venue. In addition, Charday helped block tables for us to host an after party after our wedding. Our guests were comfortable and had a blast!

Great stay!
Pros:

I stayed at this hotel for an unexpected travel! Caroline was so accommodating with assisting me in getting a reservation. The hotel was so clean and everyone was friendly, especially Mitch who greeted me with the warmest smile! I have gotten some of the best sleep due to their new Westin mattress and the black out curtains! This will be my go to hotel when I’m in town! Thanks Westin Governor Morris!!

Book now - best experience!
Pros:

My power went out so we needed a last minute room at the Westin. The service there is impeccable! Natalie was great and helped with reservation. Caroline was also amazing and made sure I got the room type I requested. My room was clean and comfortable temperature. Bed was so comfortable and blackout shades were the best! The food at their restaurant Blur Morel was amazing!! We had breakfast and dinner and my husband raved about the burger. I highly recommended the Westin Governor Morris for your stay, you will not be disappointed!

Dreadful
Pros:

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. There elevators didn’t work and they charged my card whatever they felt like. I had to complain at the hotel for charging me close to 6k just staying there. No one that works there seems helpful. No manager actually wants to do there job. I even have proof they do whatever they feel like when it comes to the price. If you want to hangout you at a hotel get over priced and belong to someone family banquet every other day then come on down. I recommend better hotels around and don’t use Marriot for this locations.

Exceptional Team, Seamless Retreat Experience
Pros:

I recently hosted a company retreat at The Westin Governor Morris and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The entire team was incredibly helpful, attentive, and made the weekend seamless.

A special thank you to Charday Morris, who was exceptionally detail-oriented and supportive throughout the entire planning process. Her organization and responsiveness truly made a difference.

The venue itself is beautiful and perfectly suited for events like ours. I couldn’t have asked for a better team or experience—everything exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend this location for any corporate event or retreat!
