Perfect for an affordable stay near Monterey and NorCal! I'm super grateful for the Gateway Lodge's prices in a sea of pretty overpriced hotels and motels!

Our room was very comfortable and accommodating due to the nature that we're disabled. And the front desk clerk was extremely friendly and he remembered us from a previous visit. We will definitely stay again.

The room was okay and clean. My only gripe was that they charged us for our dog to stay with us at $30 per night. There was nothing mentioned prior to me booking the reservation.

I usually write negative reviews, but I wanted to share feedback that may help improve future stays. The sheets weren’t clean when we arrived, and the bathroom had a few issues, including flickering lights and missing conditioner. The area wasn’t ideal, though being near a shopping center was convenient.

The parking was excellent. It was right next to our room so it made things easy for us to move our stuff inside. We had an issue with our water knob being hot in our bathtub, but they quickly resolve the issue. I would definitely return again.

Overall not bad. But there’s no nightstands only little shelves. Also would be amazing to have maybe like iron for ironing clothes. Other than that, not a bad place to sleep during night.

It was a day stay for us, and room were clean. Beds are a little on the tough side and pillows are more flat. The tv wasn’t working and I told the staff. On positive my dog could stay here for $30 a night not bad. My dog is blind so I take him everywhere. Parking was free. Decent stay nothing fancy.

The room was not clean. We had to go and buy Clorox wipes at the local grocery store so we could give the room a good wipe down, especially the bathroom before we felt more comfortable. It’s apparent that they pretty much just make the bed and restock towels before the next guest arrives.
