Spacious room with a Great Lake & Mountain Vie

We stayed in the hotel for 3 nights, beds were confortable, room was very spacious and with a great mountain & lake view and the restaurant in hotel was a plus. We had a great time because we got the pleasure to meet Morgan the singer that played for 2 nights she plays the guitar and sings so beautiful she’s super friendly and very funny!! Overall a great stay.

When I got here after 9, the front desk had to call to have someone check me in. I waited for 15 minutes and some kid finally came to the desk with his mouth full of food (he also plays video games in plain sight at the reception area). There was a note on my paper to collect payment (even though I had already paid and he said my payment was declined, which it was not and I showed him proof of an email receipt). My room has no heat. The parking lot is so icy, I cannot understand why you can’t have better snow/ice removal. My first two stays were better. I think the young man at the front desk needs training and basic customer service etiquette.

This is my 4th stay here and I have always felt welcome. Granted, Grand Lake is not a metropolis, which makes it easy to get around town --- But that's why we leave the big city and flock to these awesome destinations. I will be coming back.

Our stay at the Gateway Inn was pleasant. The Inn was decorated with iconic Western decor. Quaint and cozy. The room was clean. We had trouble getting a consistent room temperature. Too hot and then too cold. All in all our stay was good! I hope to return.

I stayed at this property in early Nov 2024 when I wanted to visit Rocky Mountain NP. However I quickly realized that highway 34 was closed till May 2025 so I had to shorten my stay. So I called Gateway directly asking for postponing my arrival by one day. Dorothy was very kind in granting my wish (Thank you!). After arrival, I was very happy with my room (especially with wooden furniture and cabin style bedding, and a balcony). The in-house dinning was very affordable too. I'm glad that I chose Gateway for my stay!
