Gateway Motel

What guests think

At Gateway Motel, travelers describe a clean, budget-friendly, no-frills stay in older, modest rooms, with many finding it quiet and comfortable, friendly staff on hand, and a convenient location for stopovers or visits to nearby attractions.

Guests appreciate the outdoor BBQ and fire pit areas, though some note the unpaved or muddy parking lot. Rooms are dated with small layouts in places, and several reviews mention spotty Wi-Fi, thin walls, and occasional maintenance issues with AC, showers, or TVs. Breakfast is basic and convenient but varies in quality and availability. Expect a simple, good-value stay if you prioritize price and practicality.

Fine for what it is. They offer BBQ's and a fire pit area, which is nice. Breakfast = waffle maker, real muffins (not minis in a bag), cereal & yogurt. Room is spacious. Bathroom is not. Walls are thin. Fridge & microwave are clean. Beds are firm -- boxsprings are stained. Pillows fine; thin blankets. Good AC

Rooms clean and quiet. Convenient access to everything. All staff very nice, serious about you enjoying your stay and coming back again. Breakfast area very clean and everything you need. Dog friendly. Definitely the best choice in town, pleased with value, location, safety and cleanliness especially compared to alternatives. Buildings old, a bit rough looking in parking lot with weeds/gravel but that’s it for complaints…

Comfortable, clean, quiet, easy access to everything. Lovely bbq/fire pit communal area. Easy parking. Building s are very old, so not fancy but rooms still comfy. A bit rough in the parking lot with weeds, unpaved. Well worth the $$ though, easily the best choice in the town. Would stay again.

They have tried to fix his property up. Staff was friendly. I didn’t like parking in the alleyway, so I opted to go in underground parking. Clean, comfortable beds. I liked how they had sink outside of the washroom as well as a three-piece bathroom. Having a kitchenette in the room was a bonus.

The staff was courteous and the room was clean. However, the phone wasn’t hooked up properly—it wasn’t a big deal—I just made sure the plugs were tightly in place, and then it worked. I couldn’t get my iPhone to accept the password, and when it finally, the internet had very poor connection—there were long pauses while it tried to connect The password never did work on my iPad. I kept turning up the heat but it was slow to respond—I was very thankful it was a mild night. Other than those things, we are enjoying our stay.

One weekend of each summer, my partner and I come and stay in the Gateway Motel. We have always enjoyed it and have never had complaints with the service, accommodation, and like the rustic appearance of the motel surrounded by nature. I love the lighting around the area and it reminds me of many small towns I have lived in. At times, the clerk checking in people can across as a little abrupt but we will be back next summer. Thank you Gateway Motel❤️
