The room was clean and nice, but it is too hot with the heated garage underneath. We paid extra for the fireplace, but could not use it. In fact, we ran the air conditioner so we could sleep. Beautiful room though.

We had a family medical emergency just before our scheduled stay and we had to cancel. The Gateway Inn was extremely helpful in our very unusual circumstance, and we were so grateful for their support! Can't wait to re-book our missed stay and see this amazing hotel!
