My family truly enjoyed our stay in the rocky mountain national park area in July of 2011. We stayed in Estes park for 3 days and then 2 days in Grand lake at the Gateway inn. The west side of RMNP is quite different than the east side. The hotel is a very nice knotty pine type decor befitting the... More

We went up for a night, for our anniversary, it is a beautiful place with plenty of amenities, it is right at the head of the snowmobile trail, so great in the winter. We are going to go back in the summer for a golf trip. They told us they have packages for golf and rooms. The room was very... More

My husband and I were looking for a small mountain town near the Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park. We wanted to go to a beautiful place. We found this in Grand Lake. We had a room at the Gateway with a fireplace and balcony over looking the most scenic mountain and lake view you could imagine. After staying 3 nights at... More

Pros: Beautiful location, cleanliness, quiet, amenities (hot tub, exercise room, restaraunt), unique furniture (log beds), a variety of games located in the lobby, well working appliances and plumbing, easy check-in/check-out procedure, conveniently located close to the downtown area and entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Cons: No DVD/VCR devices (in case you were wanting to watch a horror flick as... More

Stayed at the Gateway Inn for two days. Would never return. Thought from the review that it would be a wonderful place to spend a couple of nights. Couldn't cancel reservations after booking without a 30% fee for two weeks or more prior cancel, and within two weeks you lose one day full charge for the room. and a week... More

We were impressed by the decor, log beds and furniture in the rooms and the lounge/restaurant area is very inviting. There is a nice deck outside the restaurant where you can eat outside and see a nice mountain view. We arrived on a Sunday night and there was live entertainment in the restaurant (they play there every Sunday night) -... More

Wanted to get out of Boulder for an overnight, and our first choice hotel was full. Booking the Gateway was somewhat tortuous - their on-line booking system wasn't working and the 800 number was only taking messages. I emailed the hotel directly and got prompt response. Told there was only one room left so I sent credit card details etc.... More

We stayed for one night on our way from Denver to see RMNP. Wanted to be in a park first think in a morning and it made sense to stay at this hotel. Loved western decor , loved sense of humor, sign above door was a hit. Kids were giggling whole evening of our arrival because they normally can not... More

We loved our stay at this hotel. The staff has excellent customer service. The bar was great! We got a room with a king bed and balcony. The downsides were that you can't really view the lake due to the trees; the ice machine was broken but you could get ice from the bar but only during the hours the... More

After doing RMNP during the day, we were happy to arrive at the Gateway Inn. While the exterior architecture is very 1970s Colorado Ski Resort (think Wildernest in Silverthorne or Wild Irishman/Flying Dutchman at Keystone), the interior reminded us of Northern Exposure--lotsa moose, heavy pine timbering, with Colorado memorabilia thrown in here and there, plus a quirky but friendly but...
