We had an amazing stay! Excellent location, service, and room. Right in the heart of downtown Grand Lake and only a few minutes from RMNP entrance. I would highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this hotel. Our rooms were decorated perfectly for the area. We enjoyed a drink on the bar patio and listened to live music. It was great to have a table with a fire pit. We ate breakfast at the hotel and the pancakes were very small for the price. We highly recommend this hotel.

The Gateway Inn is a great hotel in Grand Lake with comfortable rooms, and a restaurant/bar on-site with good food and awesome waitstaff. After playing outside in the cold all day, it is really nice to get to the hotel, change into some comfy clothes and go to the restaurant for dinner and drinks.

This was a great hotel! The bar was perfect and lots of other amenities like the hot tub, sauna, outdoor area, and vending. The room had a balcony with a great view. Bed was soft with great linens. I liked the soaps and shampoos in the room. The room itself was very spacious with lots of room to sit and get dressed for snowmobiling. Walk to the rental shops. I will definitely stay there again!
