The place is under new management & staff was helpful. It needs improvements but the bed was comfortable. The price was right for a quick sleep on a long trip. My room smelled a bit like it had been closed up for a long time. I hope they continue with making it what it once was.

Clean, right next to 95, easy check in,

Family of four, two parents two kids, we needed a place for 1 night close to 95 so we could continue our drive north. Location could not be better - get off the highway, its right there, get right back on the highway. No drama, no traffic. To be frank, some of the comments on this place made me nervous for cleanliness, but those must have been old because our room was spotless when we came in, clean sheets, etc. The beds were pretty comfortable for a motel, but not luxurious. Check-in was easy. One guy, but he knew what he was dong and processed us easily and quickly. Breakfast from 7 to 9am. Cereal, muffins, bread, coffee, orange juice. Nothing fancy, totally as advertised.

Small room, scary bathroom

The room was the smallest motel room I can recall every having stayed in. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked well. The outer bathroom seems to have been redone recently, but the inner bathroom was very old and leaky. I would pass on this motel unless the location is just right for your purposes.

Triple charged me and BED BUGS!!! STAY AWAY!!!

Horrible hotel stay away!!!! They triple charged me for my room and still havnt been reimbursed. I pre paid through hotels.con and when I arrived the night attendant assured me I didn't pre pay and he then double charged me for my room plus the pre paid. I've had to dispute through my bank because they would not refund me. Stay away!!!! And then the Bed bugs. Was bitten all night and noticed when I woke up. Horrible horrible horrible hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Everything just seemed small. The toilet was very low to the floor and I just recently had knee surgery so it was hard to sit. The beds were low to the floor. The towels and washcloths were dingy and not bright white. The toilet was also stained.

Great sleep for a quick stay

I love motels, mainly because you get to park right outside your room and they are usually larger and quieter than the big hotels. The Gateway Inn is no exception. Don't expect frills or it to be fancy, just a good, comfortable & quiet sleep for a great price.

Never Again

After driving over 10 hours, we needed to stop. After booking we showed up to hotel, the desk person was not friendly at all. Would not give us extra towels saying room has towels. Room was dirty and heat was not working properly. Set at high 90 it was barely keeping the room warm. Thank God it wasn't freezing out. If we weren't so tired, we would of left. Bathroom was filthy looking, we didn't even shower here. Big sign saying under new management, but with their customer service i don't see how they will last long. Beware.
