Perfect for an affordable stay near Monterey and NorCal! I'm super grateful for the Gateway Lodge's prices in a sea of pretty overpriced hotels and motels!

It was a day stay for us, and room were clean. Beds are a little on the tough side and pillows are more flat. The tv wasn’t working and I told the staff. On positive my dog could stay here for $30 a night not bad. My dog is blind so I take him everywhere. Parking was free. Decent stay nothing fancy.

The room was very small and shabby but clean, and the bed was comfortable. Walls are paper thin. Very overpriced.

Hands down if you’re just looking for a place without any of the over the top expectations because the vacation you’re looking for is somewhat filled with more simplicity than I would say this is the place for you. Had a very easy and simple check-in process. Simple no hassle card key to the room. And as wonderful, clean and plain property to enjoy on my vacation. I am most definitely recommending this place to anyone who is looking for convenience, and once again without anything extra…

Staff in the front was nice. Property needs updating. Beds are uncomfortable. Bunk beds couldn't be slept on because they weren't sturdy. Floor was dirty a lot of dust. Overall they need to work on their cleaning detail. Homeless do wonder around area!

Parking is okay. Room was clean and air conditioning worked fine. Just little things here and there that needed a bit of repair or attention. One of the window shutter had a broken or missing piece. Wall outlet under tv had a seperate outlet that looked like a new one that was missing drywall around it. Some other things too but overall not bad for a short stay.
