Great location - great restaurant
The Gateway Inn is perfectly located for a snowmobile or fishing trip. I loved the bar/restaurant being right at the hotel, with really good food. The wait staff were also friendly and provided great service. I was, however, disappointed by the cleanliness of my room (finding pretzels on the floor) and the complete lack of re-stocking our in-room coffee maker. The front desk staff were ambivalent, at best, to provide assistance.

Everything was as expected. Nice lodge feel with super warm rooms and very comfortable beds. The restaurant and bar were great to have on site. The hot tub and sauna were a bust, but that didn't have an impact on our stay.

The rooms are decorated very nice with log furniture and very spacious and clean. The closest hotel to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. Plus walkable to the downtown of Grand Lake. Nice little mountain town.

Great stay
Really enjoyed our stay. Jason at the front desk was very welcoming. The bed was very comfortable. The rooms were cute and rustic, styled like a cabin.
