The room was decent, the staff were courteous. I liked that they cleaned each morning. The hallways were tight though and the front desk seems weird. I think i would rather spend a couple more dollars for a better stay

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.

The room was spotless. Comfortable bed and pillows. The front desk people were pleasant. For me, the location was perfect. I had a lab procedure in the building directly across the street! Afterwords, a short walk to Tartine Bakery for lunch!

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.

initial problems with the room; safe didn't work. Lobby bathroom is locked, even to the guests. If you need it you have to get staff to let you in. Why don't they use a combinat=ion lock for the guests

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.
