The front desk kid was a punk and had a bad attitude. All the rest was great. We had a problem with the smell of the deodorizers housekeeping sprayed in the room. I talked to the young man at the front desk. Obviously he made no effort to tell housekeeping. The next day, the odor was stronger.

We really liked our stay at this property. The rooms are very cute and overall the hotel in really good shape. The bed was nice and comfy too. The only knock I would have is all the propane tanks on the very cute outside lower common areas were empty and no one really wanted to do anything about it. The restaurant and deck on the main level are very nice.

The property was clean, quiet and close to town. The restaurant on site was a little disappointing. Be aware that all the restaurants on property and in town close a couple of days each week. Last comment, don’t waist your time and money at Rockies restaurant. Horrible food and maybe the most expensive restaurant in town.

Not worth the 250.00 plus rate. Property and decor showed its age. Motor inn like. Staff needs an energy boost and attitude adjustment. Room was good size and relatively clean…

Loved everything till bedtime
The Gateway Inn was every bit the wood-lodge style of mountain hotel I'd wanted. The bar was good and inexpensive. Same for the food. The patios were spacious, easy to access, and had great views. They're also walk-able straight to downtown Grand Lake. Unfortunately, their beds were HORRIBLE. The mattresses were basically bricks. My son and I barely slept at all. By morning, my back, hips, and shoulders all ached. It was a night of nothing but agonized tossing and turning. They were also covered in 100% polyester sheets so, despite the room's A/C making it an icebox, I was so hot by midnight that I wound up sleeping on top of the sheets. Pure sweaty misery. I seriously debated sleeping on the floor b/c it would've been as hard as the bed but at least it would've been cooler. Their pillows were awful as well. They didn't have any firm ones, just the big poofy kind that my head would sink all the way to the bottom of leaving me trapped in a suffocating cocoon of cheap fluff. Stacking them didn't help so I ended up crushing the dang thing like a crab all night in order to condense it enough to be functional. (I'd rented two rooms btw and I checked the beds and linens in the other room, they were identical in their flaws.) I loved this place but I'd never stay here again because it failed so hard at being a good place to sleep.

Nice stay
Front desk staff very nice. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and plenty of hot water. We had a balcony with a view of Shadow Mtn. Lake and could listen to the live band from the bar/restaurant below. They stopped playing at a reasonable hour (we were there on a week night). I would not have liked it if the band had played later as we could hear it in our room. We would stay again if staying during the week. I would check about the band prior to booking a Friday or Saturday stay.

Loud music, especially on Friday, was annoying. Friday appeared to be part of a family staying there. She shrieked loudly and endlessly. She lasted for two hours. We just wanted quiet to enjoy the beautiful and serene mountains. We finally complained. Front desk person was excellent. Service at breakfast was delightful. But, overall, we would not return to this Inn.

No vale la pena
Elegi este hotel por estar cerca del National Park, pero fue caro para lo que ofrecía. Los jovenes que estan en el front desk, no saben nada ni te ayudan con ninguna informacion, el lugar no es como las fotos. La habitacion esta bien pero apenas entras al hotel el olor a comida se siente por todos lados, no vale la pena este lugar, hay otros hoteles en la ciudad. Caminando por la ciudad entramos a un hotel chiquito a preguntar y nos atendieron excelente!!! Una pena haber reservado en Gateway inn
