I ordered dinner and the restaurant wasn’t open, so I was still charged. You should make sure your website doesn’t allow people to order when the restaurant isn’t open. Hot tub is GROSS and needs service badly. Temperature definitely is not as warm as it says, either.

Nice room, but.

Staff was very nice, room was clean and if I was to complain about anything its that the fireplace didnt work after the first hour of a 2 day stay. I paid extra for it, so it does annoy me that nobody could address it during my stay.

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!

Great hotel with on-site restaurant

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.
