Seriously think about staying here!
We were welcomed and checked in quickly and efficiently by a friendly Logan. The room as comfortable and cozy and had all the amenities we could need. The beds were really comfortable, the room quiet, and the hotel spotless.

Pleasant visit
This hotel offered one of the most comfortable beds that I've slept in in years. My room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The amenities were nice. The staff was hit or miss. The view was lovely. I came towards the end of the season so things were slowing down, but Grand Lake and the Gateway have a cozy feel. I hope to return and recommend you visit

Nice hotel if youre on the second floor away from
First night was in different room and was on 1st floor. Very noisy people above and bed was very hard and uncomfortable. We have another roo. On the second night due to separate reservations. Bed was very comfortable and room quiet due to it being on the second floor and away from noisy areas. Decor is beautiful. Hotel very nice. Most of employess ver nice. One kid at desk first day was kind of rude and not helpful. Grounds, hot tub and deck outside bar and restaurant very nice. View if lake a plus. Breakfast good but for the extra charge and price it should have included the bacon or sausage also and atleast coffee. No drinks were included. All and all a nice place to stay. Wold stay again as long as we were on the second floor and away fromm noisy areas.

Not the place to go if your looking for a quiet night. If you're staying on the 1st floor hope, your upstairs neighbor(s) are sleepy unless you want to hear them all night.

Great place to stay! Beautiful rooms and close to a lot of greath stuff in grand lake. My only complaint would be the thin walls. When someone in the next room coughs it sounds like they are in your room
