We picked the facility for the location relative to the National parks. The staff was delightful and very personable, our meals were delicious and the second room was great. Unfortunately, the first room had a wet floor in one corner and our bag and backpack smelled like mildew for the remainder of our trip. They did move us but immediately cleaned the room so I am not confident the issue was resolved for a future guest. In spite of that I would stay there again.

The Gateway is one of our new favorite spots to stay! The hotel is a well-maintained but older. All the amenities are great and well-maintained as well. Our room was super comfy, and a nice bed. The restaurant was fantastic, amazing food that was well worth the price. Amazing view at night, with great ambiance. The staff was super friendly, and did a great job!
