Lovely hotel with fantastic staff. Room was very big with lots of amenities. Only downside was the breakfast restaurant is shut for the season.
4.4
We were welcomed and checked in quickly and efficiently by a friendly Logan. The room as comfortable and cozy and had all the amenities we could need. The beds were really comfortable, the room quiet, and the hotel spotless.

First night was in different room and was on 1st floor. Very noisy people above and bed was very hard and uncomfortable. We have another roo. On the second night due to separate reservations. Bed was very comfortable and room quiet due to it being on the second floor and away from noisy areas. Decor is beautiful. Hotel very nice. Most of employess ver nice. One kid at desk first day was kind of rude and not helpful. Grounds, hot tub and deck outside bar and restaurant very nice. View if lake a plus. Breakfast good but for the extra charge and price it should have included the bacon or sausage also and atleast coffee. No drinks were included. All and all a nice place to stay. Wold stay again as long as we were on the second floor and away fromm noisy areas.

This hotel offered one of the most comfortable beds that I've slept in in years. My room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The amenities were nice. The staff was hit or miss. The view was lovely. I came towards the end of the season so things were slowing down, but Grand Lake and the Gateway have a cozy feel. I hope to return and recommend you visit

One night stay at the hotel, found it to be comfortable and great value for money. TV wasn’t working but the tech guy fixed it fast.

One night stay on the way to the Rocky Mountains NP. Great hotel at a good price. We loved the natural log furniture. We would definitely stay here again.
4.4
Beautiful lodge at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park! Loved it!
4.4
We enjoyed the Gateway, particularly sitting out on the huge porch looking over Grand Lake and the autumn colors in the sun.
The woman at the check-in desk was especially pleasant in welcoming us and asking us if we had any questions.
4.4
The mattress was very uncomfortable and we had difficult time sleepy and my back and legs were sore for 3 days. As a proper run business no reason the mattress cannot be updated especially for the price you charged us. I would appreciate if someone could call me next week regarding this stay
4.4
Good room. Not enough plugs. Restaurant was closed to guests. I think it was a private party.
4.4
The fireplace in our room did not work and the room was just ok. Shower pressure and curtain situation was awful, bathroom was not that clean. Room was mostly clean, although there was hair all over the floor and quilt from the previous room occupants.
4.4
Very comfortable. A nice stay.
4.4
Price was it was expensive which didn’t include breakfast. The individual at reception desk wasn’t helpful at all.
4.4
Very clean and comfortable
4.4
The property was clean, quiet and close to town. The restaurant on site was a little disappointing. Be aware that all the restaurants on property and in town close a couple of days each week. Last comment, don’t waist your time and money at Rockies restaurant. Horrible food and maybe the most expensive restaurant in town.
4.4
Not worth the 250.00 plus rate. Property and decor showed its age. Motor inn like. Staff needs an energy boost and attitude adjustment. Room was good size and relatively clean…
4.4
The Gateway Inn was every bit the wood-lodge style of mountain hotel I'd wanted. The bar was good and inexpensive. Same for the food. The patios were spacious, easy to access, and had great views. They're also walk-able straight to downtown Grand Lake.
Unfortunately, their beds were HORRIBLE. The mattresses were basically bricks. My son and I barely slept at all. By morning, my back, hips, and shoulders all ached. It was a night of nothing but agonized tossing and turning.
They were also covered in 100% polyester sheets so, despite the room's A/C making it an icebox, I was so hot by midnight that I wound up sleeping on top of the sheets. Pure sweaty misery.
I seriously debated sleeping on the floor b/c it would've been as hard as the bed but at least it would've been cooler.
Their pillows were awful as well. They didn't have any firm ones, just the big poofy kind that my head would sink all the way to the bottom of leaving me trapped in a suffocating cocoon of cheap fluff. Stacking them didn't help so I ended up crushing the dang thing like a crab all night in order to condense it enough to be functional.
(I'd rented two rooms btw and I checked the beds and linens in the other room, they were identical in their flaws.)
I loved this place but I'd never stay here again because it failed so hard at being a good place to sleep.

Beautiful rustic decor. Loved our balcony and view.

Lovely property
4.4
Front desk staff very nice. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and plenty of hot water. We had a balcony with a view of Shadow Mtn. Lake and could listen to the live band from the bar/restaurant below. They stopped playing at a reasonable hour (we were there on a week night). I would not have liked it if the band had played later as we could hear it in our room. We would stay again if staying during the week. I would check about the band prior to booking a Friday or Saturday stay.
4.4
Loud music, especially on Friday, was annoying. Friday appeared to be part of a family staying there. She shrieked loudly and endlessly. She lasted for two hours. We just wanted quiet to enjoy the beautiful and serene mountains. We finally complained. Front desk person was excellent. Service at breakfast was delightful. But, overall, we would not return to this Inn.

Loved the decor and the bed was super comfortable!

All good for me
4.4
Just a good place to stay
4.4
There were loud drunks outside my window and loud live music. They should decide if they want to be a bar or a hotel
4.4
It’s at the entrance of the park.
Comfortable room.
Having 2 restaurant choices was nice.
The staff was friendly and helpful checking in and out.
4.4
Staff was awesome. The room was clean and comfortable. Great views. Food was good. Perfect for our getaway!
4.4
We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed our stay. Cute rustic decor. It was nice having 2 restaurants on site. Location was convenient to Rocky Mountain National Park and the shops in Grand Lake.
4.4
Didn't like area under construction/dirt outside our room. View was OK but not real nice (Mountain View from 2nd floor)
4.4
The picture led me to believe it was lakefront. It is not. The busy road runs on both sides of it. The balcony off the restaurant gives a peek a boo view of the lake. The bed had a huge wood frame that I had to climb over to get in and out of bed. Not a fan. The low flow shower head barely rinsed me off. Get being water wise but that was ridiculous. Then the tap in the sink spewed water out, it was hard to control. Our room door and bathroom doorwere so loud and squeaky it woke anyone else in the room up. The restaurant food was like heated up frozen dinner. Very noisy hot tub area was right under our room. We were only there one night but I would not go back.
4.4
I had a so called “luxury king” room that cost $307 a night plus taxes!! It was not close to luxury!! It was the size of a postage stamp and had very old furniture and mattress!! The screen door to the balcony had torn screen flapping in the wind! The carpet in the hallway was torn and old and worn!! Not worth the money!! Do not stay here!!
4.4
Everyone was amazing and super friendly. We’ll be back!
4.4
Because the hard wood floor makes all the movement so noisy from the upper floor couldn’t sleep whole night.
4.4
A complete great experience!
4.4
Room was spacious with a great view. Bed very comfortable. Both restaurants were great. Charcuterie board was fabulous.

Good place to stay when you drive through the RMNP from east to west.
4.4
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and it was so quiet. Thanks for a great stay!
