The lady is very friendly and makes amazing breakfast. Good comfortable bed and very clean washroom. Homely vibes and the best part is the outside lake front. I would recommend this over any hotel in this area.

...because this hotel is not too far out of Anchorage, but just the right amount closer to some of the nature attractions nearby. The best part is, the hotel offers everything you need, and more!
The outside of the building, "front desk", and the barnyard-style outside stairs mislead us to believe this hotel was not the right choice. Were we wrong!
The room is huge and comes with not one, not two, but three large closets. The bed was nice and big, and so were the pillows. There was even a...

Staff was very warm and welcoming! Room was clean. Beds were fairly comfortable, just a bit firmer than I am used to. Beautiful view of the mountains from our room. Loved the Alaskan made gifts in the gift shop, and very reasonably priced.

Beautiful room facing the lake, clean, comfortable, the bed was one of the best I've ever slept on, the pillows another 5 star. However the check in was a little frustrating... Marked but not well.

The staff has been very helpful and patient. They helped me through the booking when I had problem booking with Expedia. We arrived late as we were driving down from Talkeetna after a long day hike, and the staff has been very accommodating and helpful. I booked two rooms with two double beds each, the rooms are spacious, bathroom looks new, and is big and clean. I will come again.

Find out more about Gateway
How can I get cheap hotels in Gateway?
- If you're looking to travel to Gateway on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $76. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $76. Staying a short amount of time in Gateway is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
- When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Gateway, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
- When booking cheap hotel rooms in Gateway, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
- When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Gateway, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
