I got a ada mobility accessible room with roll in shower. It was very good. the only down side was it only had one bed and the pillows were horrible. I did have to request more towel and wash cloths. The stay was very nice and quiet. Easy to get into and park.

Liked: Cleanliness
Our room number 103 seem to be below a very noisy room above us. It did not seem to be another group staying at the hotel, but rather mechanical noises like we were below the laundry room. It seemed to be a little noisy early in the morning. Other than that, the gateway Inn was fine.

Owners are working on upgrading an older facility and are doing a good job. Unfortunately, the motel is on a busy street. Pretty sculpted doors not dusted, though the counters,sink and bathroom looked clean.

This was a fine option for staying in Seaside. I would have liked if the floors and bathroom were cleaned a bit more, but it was acceptable. Staff seemed stretched very thin but they were quite accommodating. Our room was quite large and comfortable.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean however, the toilet and the sink was not properly installed. Both moved when you use it. Every time you say in the bed you heard the metal frame. The water pressure was very weak. Will not stay here again. When asked for another room they lied and said the water pressure was like that in every room.
