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!

I had an excellent experience. Only concern is the parking situation along the dark alley late at night… Could have some lights or an entry area into the parking garage for late night arrivals

Elevator wasn’t working, which is not ADA compliant. The room they assigned me hadn’t even been cleaned by housekeeping yet so they had to get me another room. The room is average clean not horrible, but not great. Shampoo comes in a little salad dressing packet with barely enough for an infant.

Decent place to stay if you don't mind lugging your luggage up the stairs. Unfortunately the elevator was not functioning. Unit was clean, surrounding area had several places within walking distance to eat or drink at. About a mile from BART so I would say pretty good location. One minor drawback was hearing sirens several times throughout the evening and night. Fire station directly across the street.

The place is close to the Airport. I am not satisfied with the facility itself, I can hear every steps and banging pf closet doors from above floor. Didn't slept well because of the occupant above was so loud. Terrible place.
