Great option in the area

Compared to pricier options in the area, it offers a clean, comfortable room. The bathroom is old, but clean. The area is simply a stopover for getting into the city or the airport, but I'd recommend it over more expensive places if you aren't expecting luxury. Check-in worker was friendly and helpful.

Overall OK except the bath tub was elevated which caused me to accidentally fall as I was getting off the bathtub after my shower. I hit my head against the bathroom door & hit my right elbow on the floor as I landed hard. The bathtub floor was not on the same level of the bathroom floor.

As a travel nurse who would stay here weekly for my scheduled shifts and commute back home on my off days, this place was excellent, plain and simple. Gateway had everything I needed, cleanliness, self parking, accommodating staff, etc. Compared to the other hotels in the area that I considered giving a chance for around the same prices, this one was always reliable. No regrets!

I had an excellent experience. Only concern is the parking situation along the dark alley late at night… Could have some lights or an entry area into the parking garage for late night arrivals

Elevator wasn’t working, which is not ADA compliant. The room they assigned me hadn’t even been cleaned by housekeeping yet so they had to get me another room. The room is average clean not horrible, but not great. Shampoo comes in a little salad dressing packet with barely enough for an infant.
