They charge you $49 a night to leave your car in the parking garage which most hotels include free parking while you’re staying there just a heads up .

Overall great hotel, experience, and amazing price for 3 nights. Also really enjoyed the location. It was also very clean and we loved that. The water pressure in the shower was just slow and not the best. And last, the bed in our opinion was hard and due to that reason we just did not get great sleep.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Holiday Inn Gateway. The room we were given was comfortable and well-maintained, offering everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. I truly appreciated their attention to detail and willingness to assist with any questions or requests. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to others looking for a pleasant and welcoming place to stay.

Clean, comfortable, safe stay

Checkin was easy. We paid for parking at the front desk. Rooms were clean and basic. Bathroom fan wasn’t able to keep up with typical shower moisture. Beds were very comfortable. We stayed in room 1516 with a view of the city over the pool. Our housekeeper Xion was fantastic. She was very attentive, helpful and kind. The breakfast buffet seemed a bit pricey but was very convenient. It had a lot of variety, was immaculate, and the servers were very attentive. The buffet food was a bit dried out but we arrived at 10:00 am which is 30 minutes from closing. Parking felt very secure and the security in the lobby made us feel safe.
