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!
