Gateway Lodge Motel

This place is absolutely disgusting! The service is the worst, the lady there needs to have an eviction notice. So my friend is having a hard time and she has her little girl staying with her and got a room for a couple days. An anonymos kind person paid for her stay and so my friend asked if she could have her room vacummed and the lady in charged refused service and brought up the fact that she was not a paying customer. Since when is it okay to mistreat people barely making it? What gives her the right? Im still very upset that this happened to someone close to me and know that it happens all the time to other wonderful humans who happen to just go through a rough period in their lives!!!

Clean and recently remodeled room, but a noisy location and plenty of automotive and foot traffic passing by at all hours of the night. I had to wake up the manager because the neighbors were yelling at 2AM. Once that unit got quiet, another guest decided to watch a movie as loud as the TV could possibly get… you’d think $ 185 a night would pay for thicker walls or some sound deadening.

Motel is even more better.
Recently, I went back to stay at the Gateway Lodge. Which I’ve always had a good experience staying at there motel. I was a bit worried the First time from reading the reviews. Goes to show you not to judge till you’ve tried it ur self.
Every time I’ve stayed I have noticed a lot of good changes and recently my stay was excellent. The rooms have been either completely remodeled or updated. The staff have made our stay very enjoyable, an the rooms are clean. I love the way they have changed the look. It’s comfortable an very conveniently close to everything. I will be going back for Valentine’s an the AT&T this week. I couldn’t go wrong staying for the price either.

Okay, so probably a 2.5 star because it’s middle of the road. It’s a bed and a shower, which is all I was looking for and the price was fair enough considering how close we were to Monterey and carmel. I was scared after reading the reviews, but the place was clean and provided shelter. Definitely not where you would want to stay if you’re someone who sits in a hotel all vacation, but if you’re like me and just need somewhere to put your things this will definitely do that for you.

Günstiges aber dafür auch nicht wirklich anspruchsvolles Hotel. Zimmer waren ok aber auch nicht wirklich sauber. Pool was zubetoniert und zum Frühstück gab es nur Kaffee und Fertigkuchen. Preis/​Leistung war eher negativ.

Wow, what a dump. Stayed here because we needed some place cheap. Cheap it is. Rules are no visitors, no refunds. We kept our shoes on inside for fear of whatever is in the carpet. Bare minimum on furniture and sheets/​bedspread. Front desk staff is short and snippy, and pretty much unhelpful.

We came here !0 years ago, and have been coming back ever year for our anniversary. Some times we jump on the Harley and just come down for a night. The rooms are all way clean and smell great. The people that run the motel are friendly and all ways there to help with any thing you may need. Any time we call for a room she know the room we want and give us a great price. So take a trip to Monterey and stay at the Gateway …

This place was pure filth. If I could give zero stars I would. The shower was caked in calcium and lime. The heater was broken and there was no air conditioning.
We picked this place because we needed a cheap place to sleep for one night and a clean shower after doing the Spartan race. I wasn’t expecting the Hilton or anything but I didn’t like feeling that I would get the herp from sleeping on the sheets. Yuck.
Also stay away from the Thunderbird… It’s run by the same couple!

Only fit for those who don’t fear filth or sickness. The owners need to retrain or let housekeeping go if they don’t shape up.
Not sure if Management knows how filthy it is.
Since we paid via
we were screwed on getting any refund. So after talking to management, we got the beautifully remodeled room.
They have to be hurting for money, they had a cracked out guy next door talking to his girl all night and then fighting from 6 am til 11 am about drugs and a two doors down a pimp and his hoe.
For Seaside, I was shocked.
But if one takes into account that both operators of the Gateway and the Thunderbird are husband and wife and they hardly get any sleep since both are working almost 24 hours a day. It is probably hard to make ends meet, and they did make an effort to fix things by changing rooms.
My suggestion for them to close 1 of the 2 offices, they are right next door to each other, and hopefully they can get some rest.
And do not advertise you have breakfast. Just coffee and orange juice is sufficient.
I really do hope the best for them, and they can remodel the place sooner than later.

Disgusting!!! This place should be shut down! It’s beyond dirty. There were holes in the doors pipes coming out of the walls blood stains on the shower curtain burns on the blankets. Spend the money elsewhere to avoid a disease here.

Do not stay at this motel. I’ve stayed in some seedy motels but this one takes the cake. The floors were dirty and I didn’t even want to touch the towels or sheets. The walls are so thin and the people next to us had people coming knocking on the door at all hours of the night and morning. Can we say crack motel? I also had my credit card number stolen and used hours after I gave it to them. I hadn’t used the credit card in about a week before that. Fair warning, don’t stay here. Pay the extra $ 30 and stay somewhere else.
