Firstly, I read on Expedia that there is a restaurant serving international cuisine. This appealed to me as I am business traveller and need convenience. They stop serving at 5pm. This should be specified
The photos are clever and i thought I was going to a hotel. However it is more like an American style motel. Worse still, they have office style vertical blinds which incredibly have small gaps in so that people can look into your room. I found this unnerving.
The lady offered to change my room but I failed to see what would change as all the rooms have the same blinds.
The mattress is rock hard and I barely slept but that is a subjective opinion and some may like that.
On a positive note the rooms were spotless.
I was really looking forward to my stay but I felt very let down and somewhat hoodwinked by the description on Expedia.

The staff at Gateway Lodge is AMAZING, with hospitality to travel-weary guests without sleep for 24 hours above and beyond expectation! They got us settled, and we enjoyed a wonderful late lunch at Blas Cafe, in preparation for a solid night's sleep our first night in Ireland. Appreciated them all more than we could say. Spacious, lovely room and bath were a great welcome and so comfortable,

First time at the Gateway

First time in the Gateway, reception was very friendly, check in was easy. room was a good size, chairs and table meant you didn't have to lie on the bed to relax. Bathroom was well equipped. Room was hot even with radiators off. The Gateway was very handy for town centre, 4-5 min walk. The Bistro is excellent, very friendly and helpful staff and nothing was too muvh trouble. Were going to book again for our next break but fully booked at the time we would like. Definitely recommend a stay here. Well done to all the staff.

Too focused on catering events

Too many events scheduled during this time. Although hotel did inform us of this, since my booking was non refundable I felt that I didn’t have much option to stay elsewhere. Had to wait for our rooms to be ready while the locals were given their rooms without any wait. Kids were running up and down the hall banging on doors. Music was playing loudly into the wee hours of the morning.

We stayed here one night while driving the Wild Atlantic Way. We were extremely pleased with our stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. No AC but they did have a fan.Looks to be a newer building. They are in a good location and have a big parking lot. You can walk a few blocks into town to most of the restaurants. The bathroom was new but it was very small and the water pressure wasn't that good. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

The main reason for my lower rating is that the sheets were dirty (dirt and hair in them), and when we called down to the night porter he didn't offer to change them and wasn't very apologetic. He did provide clean sheets and we changed them ourselves. In the morning the staff was lovely though, and otherwise a clean room.

Amazing Customer Service

My stay was a normal. We were traveling around Ireland. What happened after the stay was amazing. I left my iPad in the room and we were down in Galway. The folks at the hotel found my iPad and helped get it shipped to my upcoming hotel in Dublin. Amazing and the best customer service I have ever had when staying in at a hotel. Period. Thank you for your help.

Solo Travel to Donegal

I went to Donegal alone and going alone can be scary for many people. But I feel the Gateway Lodge was perfect for me. It’s beside the City Centre. Staff where friendly. Check in and out was simple. Plenty of parking and the food was amazing.

If I was to go again, I won’t hesitate to choose the Gateway Lodge again.

10/10 would recommend.

We weren’t so impressed with the breakfast option. We found a better source on the Diamond.
It would have been nice to have access to an Ice machine.

Very nice location and room - pretty standard, but has everything you need for a comfy stay! Breakfast was beautiful. No on-site bar etc as far as I am aware. Room could do with a bit more attention to detail, but we really enjoyed our stay.
