When we arrives the common areas were not clean. They were cleaned up later in the evening. Did not give me confidence that our room had been cleaned well.

The room was clean and large. I like the faux hardwood floor. The bed is comfortable and shower adequate. Two small nits: This is the second hotel in a row where there have been no facial tissues. Is this a thing? There was even a slot in the vanity for a box of tissues but I was told they don’t provide them. Also, the Keurig coffee maker didn’t work. We arrived very early—almost two hours before check in. We were told rooms would be ready at 2:30 p.m. We had lunch nearby (there are several dining establishments and a wide variety of ethnic foods—restaurants and markets—within about three blocks). We came back at 2:30 and rooms were ready as promised. A front desk being accurate and true to their word is a real plus. I was staying for one night while attending two Giants games. Caltrain station is a half mile away and BART is a mile away—great access to San Francisco. One tip: Ask for a room away from the El Camino Real side. The road is very noisy.

Great option in the area

Compared to pricier options in the area, it offers a clean, comfortable room. The bathroom is old, but clean. The area is simply a stopover for getting into the city or the airport, but I'd recommend it over more expensive places if you aren't expecting luxury. Check-in worker was friendly and helpful.

Overall OK except the bath tub was elevated which caused me to accidentally fall as I was getting off the bathtub after my shower. I hit my head against the bathroom door & hit my right elbow on the floor as I landed hard. The bathtub floor was not on the same level of the bathroom floor.

As a travel nurse who would stay here weekly for my scheduled shifts and commute back home on my off days, this place was excellent, plain and simple. Gateway had everything I needed, cleanliness, self parking, accommodating staff, etc. Compared to the other hotels in the area that I considered giving a chance for around the same prices, this one was always reliable. No regrets!
