Overnight stay

Great place to stay. Staff is helpful and friendly. Place is exceptionally clean. Food is excellent. Mattress could use a topper as it was hard. Otherwise love staying at the Blue Gate.

We loved our stay and was super convenient to walk to the Creed Fisher concert next door. Very spacious rooms. The pizza was amazing from the ice cream shop in the hotel also. We didn’t like the fact kids were running the floor above us though. Luckily it wasn’t too late in the night when they finally stopped. Will definitely stay here again!

This place is dated, especially the hot tub and pool area. The room was dated but clean! It was a very charming place, we would stay again. We loved the continental breakfast. Staff was great! The grounds were very nice!!

There was a small issue with the room, I called the front desk and they made right immediately. There is a concert venue on the grounds and I will definitely be back. The breakfast was hands down the best. We had a great time and highly recommend.

Beautifully decorated for the holidays! Clean and comfortable, but the door to the adjoining room did not seem to have much sound-proofing at all.

Winter Get Away

We wanted a middle of Christmas break chance to get away. I had always wanted to try the Blue Gate and so we stayed here and ate at the Blue Gate restaurant. The lobby was so cozy and inviting that we spent a couple of hours there in the evening, just sitting and reading! It was all exactly what we needed and just felt clean and comfortable!
