We have stayed at this hotel nearly every year since 2006!! It never disappoints. The staff are as kind, welcoming, and helpful as you will find anywhere. The location is walkable to everything in Santa Monica, yet for an extremely reasonable price. I hesitate to write such a positive review because the Gateway is like a best kept secret!! We will always come back.

The property has parking that’s too small for SUV. Also there is no microwave in the entire facility or in the rooms. It’s very inconvenient.

Uncomfortable stay

No hairdryer! Bed constantly squeaked! Not able to turn on shower faucet. Had to go out into hallway to ask someone to turn it on. A man could not do it. I called down to the front desk and they sent up an engineer after I demanded one asap. He had to hit the faucet with his hand. This experience was awful! Back at the front desk I demanded money back. Since I booked it thru Hotels.com, they could only refund the paid parking fee of $17 and change. I think I deserve more money back from Hotels.com. I guess I should have taken a picture of me in my pajamas in the hallway and one of the engineer hitting the faucet. If I had tried that, I probably would have broken my hand!
