The room did not look like advertised. The room didn’t even have night stands. It had metal flooring things as night stands. The “table” it had looked like a plank and the chairs were of those folding ones.
There was hair on the tub, and there was no soap to wash your hands! I had to go to dollar tree to buy some.
I forgot to mention, when we got there, the smell of bleach was overwhelming we had to leave the bathroom window open to ventilate the room.
This room was about $60 cheaper than other over hotels in the area and I would definitely pay that next time. I won’t be coming here again and I do not recommend.

Bathroom was great with liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner. Amenities included in great condition: microwave, tea pot, fridge, nice steel cups & mugs, Easy control TV w/ remote, hair dryer, AC. Lighting options are good, many convenience outlets well located. Ice machine and ice bin provided. Bed and pillows are comfortable. They provide three clothing hooks and a few hangers. A clean, nicely lighted courtyard with tables and chairs. The entire property was very clean, and the staff was outstanding.
The only minor inconvenience is that there is no dresser, or drawers for unpacking clothes.

In the family room It's overall okay, especially the main room with nice and warm sunshine.
But the bunk bed is absolutely not good.
The bunk bed is not stable, the whole bed shakes dramatically when one person turns or moves, while making loud zig zag noise. Difficult to fall sleep.

This place was interesting, looks nicer online than in person. The area around wasn’t pretty and was kinda sketchy. They didn’t have a microwave in the room like said, and the phone in the room didn’t even work, the AC also barely worked.

My family and I did not feel safe at the Gateway Motel. The area surrounding the motel and more importantly the clientele made us feel unsafe. In addition guests were noisy, yelling and slamming doors into the middle of the night. Motel employees did not address disruptive and rude guests. I would not recommend staying here.

Very nice spacious rooms, the floor was a bit dirty but nothing unbearable. I stayed here when I wanted to visit the aquarium; this was a great location. There are many places across the street and nearby such as many dining options and plenty of shopping. Great deal for the price

Our room was huge with a separate bedroom for the kids! But it was noisy. You could hear every step above us, the water running whenever the upstairs guest used theirs. Great value, spacious room, but you get what you pay for.

The family suite was just the right size for our three children. The price couldn't be beat, and we loved its location between Marina and Monterey. But upon arrival we found the room to be unclean in many areas (table, baseboards, bathroom vent, towel rack, smudgy sliding door, dusty blinds, and window screen flapping in the wind. The front desk attendant made sure the areas were cleaned each time a request was made, and the window screen was replaced before the end of our stay. Apologies were made but no discounts were offered. Functionally the room was great.

Neighbors above me appeared to be running around constantly causing the entire room to shake. Walls generally are very thin. You can hear a lot of noise from all your neighbors. AC unit in my room was broken. I requested it be fixed—it wasn’t. No luggage carts. Not a very nice area, there were people fighting in the alley connected to the property. Room was clean when I arrived. Only two towels provided, which is insufficient when the room isn’t being cleaned every day. Narrow parking lot filled with large vehicles making it difficult to park when the lot is close to full.
