Remolded room was too dark. Light by the bed was very poor. The pillows were lumpy. Maid opened a window and didn’t close it. I didn’t know until the middle of the night since it was hot and noisy. I asked the front desk for a lamp and to tell the maid not to open the window. At breakfast, I had to ask for napkins. I doesn’t a free bottle of awful wine. Would rather have another bottle of water. I doubt that I will stay at this hotel again.

We saw two bugs in our room. Staff was very friendly the overall is it is nice to be that close to the hospital but the rooms are older. The stay was not terrible, but it is not a place I will stay again. The bugs freaked me out.

We liked everything BUT they neglected to say the hotel was under construction and the noise from 8-5 was hideous. Absent that, we'd have rated it superior

Front desk staff was very unprofessional
Room was noisy due to hotel renovations right above the floor they placed me in. Front desk didnt care about the noise ans basically said you knew it was under renovation so theres nothing else we can do. Room was not very clean and had no hot water in backroom faucet.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, exactly as advertised, and looked just like the photos online. I appreciated the complimentary bottled water as well.

The location is unbeatable—right next to great restaurants, with a bus stop directly across the street. There’s also a fantastic breakfast spot one block away called Travertine. The housekeeping staff were incredibly friendly and kind, which made the stay even better.

Parking is available in the garage under the building. The spaces are tight, but for $23 with unlimited in‑and‑out access, it’s a great value.

Breakfast at the hotel was simple—fruit, coffee, and toast—but it was included in the price, so no complaints. Overall, a very pleasant stay and I would happily return.

I have had recurring appointments at St John’s Hospital so this has become somewhat of a 2nd home -so the location could not be better. The staff is always friendly and courteous. The rooms clean and well-equipped. This visit there was a problem with one of the elevators being out-of-service- nothing a bit of patience couldn’t solve. The associated restaurant has been excellent though unfortunately closed on Sundays and Mondays- our usual appt. days.

The room is super clean and nice and the check in staff were super friendly. However, when we went to go check out, the man working at the front desk was a little rude and was confused on the checkout process. This caused a delay in checking out. We are still waiting to make sure we were charged the correct amount.

This was my second stay. The Hotel is conveniently located, bed was comfortable, the continental breakfast was good. (The Cold Blue Lighting in the rooms is Terrible). Feels like you'e in an operating room. Same cold light at the front desk. They need to change to a warm lights throughout the hotel, only comfortable light is the bathroom mirrors. Lastly, there are no window drapes, just shutters that do not block enough of the morning light.

This was my second stay here. I love the location, the small quaint hotel feel, the staff is incredibly nice. The main complaint is the noise from the floor above. Just a heads up, there is not much insulation. A loud foot could pose a pretty noisy stay. I will stay here again, on the top floor.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Gateway hotel. The hotel will be going under renovation and if anything, maybe it could be stylistically updated, but the rooms were clean, all basics were covered, and the staff was very courteous. I do recommend you check to confirm the updated parking price as it was not updated on third-party website.

Check in was a piece of cake! Plenty of parking and the front desk staff was friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The Gateway has my favorite set up - the sink and mirror outside of the bathroom. That way, I can do my hair and make-up while my husband is showering. There’s a great restaurant adjacent to the hotel as well. Very close to St. John’s. We would stay here again!

Room was clean and nice and overall property was very well kept. However, staff was a little noisey in the mornings and knocked on our door at 8am both mornings (check out was at noon mind you) which was frustrating for us when we wanted to sleep in a little. Walls are a bit thin as well so you can typically hear anyone talking in the hallway or people playing music loudly in their rooms.

Unfortunately the property is doing major renovations and were extremely loud right above our room. We were not advised about possible noise when booking, even though we booked just a week before our stay.
Free continental breakfast was a joke. I wouldn't advise depending on it. We walked out and bought our own meal at a local cafe.

Considering this is a budget-friendly hotel it stands well above it’s competitors. The room (standard with 2 queens) was clean and modern with a large bath. What stood out was the staff who went above and beyond to be helpful. I love the parking onsite at a reasonable cost. The free continental breakfast was nothing much so don’t plan on breakfast in. They are renovating and I fear they will join the others with out-of-reach rates but let’s hope not.

I stayed two nights, the first night was OK because it was relatively quiet, and we did stay in a handicap room which served me perfectly at the moment because I have a bum knee. The second night we had made a reservation after the fact so they had to move us out of the room while we were attending a baptism so we were rushed packing before we had to leave, and the staff moved our things to a different room. when we came back late in the evening they put us in a room that was facing the street, which was absolutely horrendous because we heard sirens all night. We turned the air conditioner on so we could muffle the sound, but that was even worse! Room 333, stay out of it if possible, no water pressure also! I don’t like staying in a hotel that does does not have a private bathroom. The wash sink and mirror work in the same area where the beds are. So the light has to go on when people are sleeping. Not a good idea experience.
