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.

Overall stay was great. Disappointed on just two topics…bed linens clean but stained and breakfast was a bit lacking…even some bread would have made a difference.

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.
