What guests think
Gateway Inn is an older, budget-friendly roadside motel where many guests praise clean, comfortable rooms, friendly owners, and a quiet, convenient location, while noting dated exteriors and a few hiccups like no ice or in-room coffee.
Several mention recent upkeep like fresh paint and newer flooring, and many rooms include a fridge, microwave, and flat-screen TV with ample channels. A handful encountered issues such as an AC failure, a musty or chemical smell, a Wi-Fi outage, or housekeeping lapses, while others disliked an unusual check-in setup behind plexiglass. Expect a straightforward, budget stopover at Gateway Inn.

Only downside was there wasn't ice onsite, however the kind gentleman who runs the place gave us enough to get through the night out of his personal refrigerator. Grab a bag of ice, its a small inconvenience for such an affordable clean little motel. It is an older building but has all the modern tech charging stations and flat screen tvs. This will be our go to for fishing in the area from now on!!!

Hotel was ok for the affordable price and limited options in the area. Stayed here while visiting family nearby. The rooms are old and had a strong chemical fragrance smell when we came in. The toiletries they give you aren’t good, and the wifi was down when we got there. Beds were comfortable though, and the staff was friendly.

I was regretting my decision to book this room when I saw the outside of the motel. It is quite old. I was relieved when the room was nice and comfortable and clean. The walls had been painted, the t.v. was nice and there was a fridge with freezer and a microwave. The shower was warm and with decent pressure. Beds were fine.

The folks who run the motel have always been helpful and pleasant. The back side of the motel is very close to the property line but there is room to park, but there's nothing scenic about it----and I'm not looking for scenery anyway. One thing i wish could be done: One must driver over a street curb to get onto the property and off of it. A cut in the curb for a smooth entrance and exit would be appreciated. Otherwise, the most recent stay---as has always been the case---was good.

Older hotel but the owners do a good job at maintaining it. It's been a good long while since I have stayed a night there prior to this stay. I noticed several updates such as the flooring in the bathroom, fresh paint on the walls, etc. I didn't hear a peep from any of the neighboring rooms or from outside which was fantastic. If you like a firm bed, you'll get a great night of sleep, unless you're like my husband who thinks he has to sleep on a mattress made out of 10 layers of memory foam 🙄😄 The room smelled fantastic! The sheets, pillow cases, bathroom towels, etc all looked new (otherwise very very well bleached). My ONLY complaint: the lighting in the bathroom ceiling has fans which had a bunch of caked up dust in it. So there's giant dust bunnies up around the light bulbs. Maybe a stick duster can knock all that out? Television worked great. Mini fridge was super clean and kept our drinks perfectly cold... and the window curtains kept all morning light out so we got to sleep in a bit later than usual which my husband did not complain about 😄 Thank you once again for another positive experience!

The check in area is a bit sketchy, the older Indian gentleman checks you in from behind a plexiglass panel and you slide your ID through a little slot at the bottom! He didn’t say much but he soon exchanged my payment for his room key. The rooms are dated but clean, and they were painting the outside of the hotel while I was staying. It’s the best hotel in this town! (The only hotel in this town!)

it was a terrible place ,when we drove up the whole area was dark, there were several lights on the whole area, there were three cars parked next to the hotel ,the hotel was in the dark and to be honest, I was even afraid to leave the car there and I didn’t even go inside, i went found another place, I don’t know why they don’t describe the location of this hotel for people, but I would not advise anyone to go, it looked like some abandoned village. I do not advise anyone to take an overnight stay there.

Room was clean and comfortable if old. The AC stopped working about 12 am, and then I was up fiddling with it every hour and a half to try to get it going. Manager was upset as he said he replaced all the units just last year. Wondered why I didn't contact him. (to move us? to send a repair man at midnight? Don't think so-but the sentiment was nice. Whether or not the concern was genuine). No ice machine. No coffee. And really out of our way for a "meh" experience. Would not be likely to stay again.

Very clean. Comfortable bed. Quiet. Motorcycle friendly. Red Apple diner just across the street. This place is on my list of cool road motels. I'll go back.

The staff was SO kind and so very accommodating. We arrived quite late, almost midnight, and they were still very pleasant and genuinely happy to see us.
