The property was great, very clean and convenient. The staff were helpful. The only issue I had was they asked for a credit card for the file, which is fine. At the time I asked if the card would be charged or just held on file for damages. They said it would be held on file. I was charged but then refunded slightly less than what they charged. I also left the room in immaculate condition and have not had a reply yet about this.

Serviceable and clean

This hotel is clean and functional. While the decor is all clearly new and well maintained, the style is a bit dated. Think pastels. Staff was friendly and helpful. They shut down loud music in the room next door within a few minutes. Breakfast was not impressive, however neighborhood is convenient. Famous restaurant next door and a great little coffee house across the street.

The location of this hotel is excellent and convenient to many attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas. It is safe and clean and the staff is excellent. Parking is easy, below the hotel. Breakfast is typically continental, providing oatmeal, yogurt, cold cereals, granola bars, bananas, oranges, cold boiled eggs, and freshly made pancakes with syrup, in addition to coffee, milk, and Swiss Miss instant cocoa.

We have stayed at this hotel nearly every year since 2006!! It never disappoints. The staff are as kind, welcoming, and helpful as you will find anywhere. The location is walkable to everything in Santa Monica, yet for an extremely reasonable price. I hesitate to write such a positive review because the Gateway is like a best kept secret!! We will always come back.

The property has parking that’s too small for SUV. Also there is no microwave in the entire facility or in the rooms. It’s very inconvenient.
