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.

Ideal location just outside of RMNP. Short drive to the little town. Property was a bit dated and smelled a bit stale. I would stay again as room was clean and spacious. Didn’t eat there

I wish I could have stayed longer. Such a beautiful place and so quiet. The views are marvelous and their food options are good. Breakfast does not come with the room but they do serve it in the restaurant on site. We had breakfast and it was good and not that expensive. There are many food and dining options just minutes away. The staff were great. I’m definitely coming back but for a longer stay. It beats the overcrowded Estes Park hands down.
