Let me get the negative out of the way; my room is clean however, towels are dingy, and they need to do better by replacing and furniture or torn curtains. I really like the staff, they have been very kind and friendly every time I have stayed there. The location is perfect to me, not a lot of traffic noise. Oh, and the omelets make my morning!!

像度假酒店,環境優美,停車場寬敞。距離市中心車程15-20分鐘。周邊沒啥配套,需有車才能活動。 房間比較寬敞,衞生間相對比較侷促。 早餐比較豐富,有專人(倆美女)做各式煎蛋,像是看錶演很有趣。

Gateway Grand is a solid hotel, it's getting a little old and worn. Still a nice property but dated. WiFi isn't great. Excellent breakfast. Nice people. Overall pretty good just really needs a remodel

Not coming back As soon as you walk in the room it smells like pee and has a musty odor. The shower curtain was too thin so when you took a shower, the whole bathroom will get wet. Floor was sticky,sheets looked dirty
