"Gateway Inn & Suites in Salida, Colorado is an excellent facility and obviously the result of hard-working management doing their best to deliver excellent facilities and service to the traveling public. This is a great example of entrepreneurship and small business at its finest. The breakfast offering is fantastic, the rooms are beautifully appointed and all the fixtures and flooring, paint and finishes are nearly perfect. The bed was comfortable and I had some of the best sleep in a hotel I have had in recent years. The mix of guests among the nearly 96 rooms was quite entertaining, and included folks from every walk of life. There were bikers (motorcycles), folks from back east, very senior citizens, young families with dogs (not in the rooms, but out and about), and all the activity that goes with it. Parking was tight, but we managed. We would be delighted and happy to stay here again. KUDOS to the management of Gateway Inn & Suites. They deserve a hearty THANK YOU! No wonder this facility sells out routinely. I will again work hard to get my reservation in early!"
