I have stayed here 3 previous times; the last being Fall break with my husband. The time before was with my 3 older children on July 4th! In July the place was packed and VERY busy. The maids were super about taking care of us and being pleasant and welcoming. On Fall break with my husband 3 of those days... more

We loved our stay at the El Governor, The staff was friendly and the room was nice and clean. We loved the view from our balcony. Considering we only paid 70 bucks a night we considered that a steal. Have stayed in a lot worse places for lots more money. If you want a place to get away and relax... more

My wife, my 18 month old daughter, and I stayed at the El Gov. for three days during July this year and had a great time. Granted, it is an older hotel that still uses metal keys (which I liked) but it is well maintained by the staff. I consider myself to be a normal guy. I am not too... more

We were in town for the triathlon and found the staff to be very helpful. While this isn't a 5 star hotel, it was still nice and the direct beach access and views were fantastic. I had some difficulty dialing out from the phone in room, but the girl at the desk was great about helping me through it. We... more

The reviews were mostly positive for this property, and we hadn't made reservations anywhere, so we thought we would give it a try. We checked in around 2pm. The desk clerk that helped me was not very helpful, seemed like she was just waiting for the end of her shift. When we got to our room, not bad at first... more

This hotel was fine for a night or two. Don't expect anything fancy and plan on waiting 10 minutes every time you need to take the elevator. It is a terrifying, hot, slow machine and we found ourselved taking the five flights of stairs more than once. We are old and out of shape anyway, so it was probably a... more

We just got back from Mexico Beach, the Motel was pricey and rooms were small. The beach was beautiful with its white sands, but very crowded with people. The shells where small, tiny to be exact. If your looking for shells go to CROOKED ISLAND, just a couple miles up the road, and you won't be disappointed, we found medium... more

I dont know why people are saying it is across the street from the beach. It is right on the beach. If you stay in the annex...you walk out of your room, down some steps and you are on the beach. The view is to die for. There is also the high rise which is also right on the beach...it... more

After reading the abundance of rave reviews on this motel, I expected the best. I regret that what I found was just about the worst place I've booked in at least the last 10 years. I travel a lot for business and also for pleasure, and I expect certain things when I rent a room. Simply stated, none of the... more
