We come to visit family and Jones Beach. It is nice to have a hotel room for a little privacy when visiting my family. Gateway is not fancy but is clean, friendly, reasonable price, quiet, has plenty of parking and a good basic breakfast in the morning. From the street it looks very plain, the rooms have interior windows on... more

Clean, efficient, friendly, reasonable price, quiet, comfortable says it all. If you want a place to crash or spend a day or two at the beach and at least a good basic breakfast in the morning, this does it. The restaurants in the area are a little distance away, Applebees a mile or so up the road might be the... more

Not the most modern hotel, but great for the price. It was very close to Jones Beach, which is why we were there, so the location was excellent. Also not far from New York city which was the next stop on our journey. I did find the "just for looks" courtyard a little strange mostly I guess since I did... more

My colleague and I stayed at the Gateway Inn during the 2009 US Golf Open. In the past, our corporate office has placed us in full service hotels. However, in today's economic climate, our travel budget has been reduced. Our travel department contacted the New York State Hospitality and Tourism Association for assistance with finding a limited service hotel that... more

This was my 4th stay here in the last 1 1/2 years. I don't understand the reviews that trash the place. I've never seen bugs, it's never seemed unsafe, etc. As I said in my first review 1 1/2 years ago, it's not the Ritz, but it's clean, comfortable & cheap. One time a friend went with me, & she... more

The negative comments I've read here leave me wondering what motel the writers might be referring to. Certainly not the Gateway Inn, where I've spent considerable time during several visits. I would never willingly stay anywhere else! The staff is beyond comparison. From the general manager to the housekeepers, every person went out of his/her way to make me feel... more

UGH!! I stayed in the hotel in the summer of 1985. It still looks the same! I recently stayed in a smoking room. It had outside parking lot access door. It was kind of scary. There wasn't a safety latch on the door. It was in December and it was cold out. The bottom of the door was missing a... more

This was a spur of the moment hotel stay when my friend that I was visiting had the hot water heater go out and I was pleasantly surprised. This hotel could definately use some modernization but overall I was pleased. The rooms were a nice size and VERY clean...I actually stayed in the suite and it was a HUGE couple... more

I was very pleased with our overall experience at the Gateway. I would definitely stay there again. They are in the midst of some room renovations, which are definitely needed, but there wasn't any construction noise while we were there. The front desk, on all shifts, were very helpful and pleasant. The day manager was a very nice guy! If... more
