Excellent Choice

We were thrilled to see Gateway Inn such a beautiful place, inside and out. Our room was another welcomed surprise, we weren't expecting such a beautiful room. The mattress and pillows were so comfortable and the restaurant served an excellent supper and morning breakfast downstairs. Wonderful stay.

4/10 Fair

We were EXTREMELY disappointed in the two rooms that we booked. We reserved and paid for "Room details -- Luxury Room, 1 Bedroom, Fireplace, Mountain View". Instead, we got 2 standard rooms with artificial fireplaces, a broken screen door, poor service in the restaurant for breakfast, etc...
