I can remember the first time I stayed at the Gouveneur-and the account from wiredboy10003 seems about right.
They were slow to embrace the gay clientele.And even still market more to bus tour companies and mid market buisness confrerences.

I have a foggy recolection of a late night guest being asked to show ID at the front counter.

The ONLY thing they have going for them is their location.If you can deal with the subway there are much better options out there.
