Staying at the Gateway Inn was a pleasant experience overall. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the hotel and the unique rustic decor that added charm to the atmosphere. The location near Rocky Mountain National Park was perfect for our outdoor adventures. However, although the staff was helpful, the dining options could use some improvement and not all food items met our expectations. The pricing felt reasonable, but I do wish for more variety in the restaurant menu.
