We were thrilled to see Gateway Inn such a beautiful place, inside and out. Our room was another welcomed surprise, we weren't expecting such a beautiful room. The mattress and pillows were so comfortable and the restaurant served an excellent supper and morning breakfast downstairs. Wonderful stay.
