Very nice stay
The hotel was fine. The staff were extremely professional. (Even when they had to help us at midnight with a new key). My only issue with Gateway was the water pressure. Everything else was spot on

The room was very clean & well cared for. The staff was friendly & helpful. It's just a small motel & on a busy street, so can't possibly be quiet. This is a nice, clean, affordable place to stay. I definitely recommend it.

My stay was great the only thing I would recommend is new towels. The towels are very dingy and old and worn out. Otherwise everything was good

The property does not look well on the outside. The stairs are in need of repair. However, the room is great. I would stay there again.

Glad we came
Desk clerk was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were impressed with the attention to detail in the rooms furnishings to maximize comfort. We were in town for a funeral and this was just the kind of hospitality that we needed. We'll remember this place very positively.
