Bang for the buck and location is very good. It’s near food chains, groceries, convenience store and highway 1. Will definitely stay here again if ever I visit Monterey/Big Sur again.
We went to Monterey Bay Aquarium and decided to stayed at this hotel; its within walking distance from the beach. Im a traveling single Mom with kids, I got a room that had an attached room with bunk beds. I had a microwave, coffee machine and a mini fridge. The place felt pretty secure, the beds where clean and comfy, the shower had great water preashure and it was all very affordable. I recommend this place for traveling families on a budget..
It was an older yet updated motel.
The room was clean. A good value.
There was a mix-up in the room, someone else was also assigned to our room & they walked in on us. But the issue was settled
Staff were nice & helpful. Our room window , there’s a broken part that needs to be fixed & the bathtub accumulated water (slow drainage) while showering.

Parking was fine and location was fine. It’s a bit rundown and grubby but definitely not a bad option
Perfect for an affordable stay near Monterey and NorCal! I'm super grateful for the Gateway Lodge's prices in a sea of pretty overpriced hotels and motels!

The room was okay and clean. My only gripe was that they charged us for our dog to stay with us at $30 per night. There was nothing mentioned prior to me booking the reservation.
Overall not bad. But there’s no nightstands only little shelves. Also would be amazing to have maybe like iron for ironing clothes. Other than that, not a bad place to sleep during night.
It was a day stay for us, and room were clean. Beds are a little on the tough side and pillows are more flat. The tv wasn’t working and I told the staff. On positive my dog could stay here for $30 a night not bad. My dog is blind so I take him everywhere. Parking was free. Decent stay nothing fancy.
