Disappointed

Waa very disappoi tes the hot tub was not open and there was no advance warning about it. We forgot toothbrushes and went to the front desk two different times and there was a sign saying they were busy an hour later still not there and there was a line of people waiting. Very disappointing as we have never had poor service here in the past.

My husband and teenage son stayed in a 1 bedroom suite. The room okay, but we could hear the neighbors tv until early morning hours. The arcade and outdoor areas were great. The pool looked nice, too, but we really wanted to enjoy the hot tub after a long day of walking. Unfortunately, the hot tub was broken and we were not informed of this at check in. Another thing we were looking forward to was the breakfast. Omelets were terrific, but we were disappointed with the rest of the breakfast-just not what we expected from The Blue Gate. We will consider going back to Blue Gate for concerts and possibly the restaurant, but I’m not sure about the hotel.
