The room was cozy, clean, comfortable! You have everything that you need in a cottage looking setting. And you sleep like a baby after breathing the fresh mountain air! They have electric vehicle ports everywhere in front of the rooms. Bonus is the beautiful restaurant and friendly staff. The food at the restaurant on site is amazing! The views are breathtaking! Very close to the entrance of the Sequoia Nat Park!

The room was very cozy. Glen offered to fix the problem in the room promptly. All the staffs were very friendly including in the restaurant. Jessie was very helpful in giving food options. The food was awesome and especially the venue just right by the Kaweah River. The place is also very close to the entrance of the national park. We'll definitely go back here!

We picked the facility for the location relative to the National parks. The staff was delightful and very personable, our meals were delicious and the second room was great. Unfortunately, the first room had a wet floor in one corner and our bag and backpack smelled like mildew for the remainder of our trip. They did move us but immediately cleaned the room so I am not confident the issue was resolved for a future guest. In spite of that I would stay there again.

The Gateway is one of our new favorite spots to stay! The hotel is a well-maintained but older. All the amenities are great and well-maintained as well. Our room was super comfy, and a nice bed. The restaurant was fantastic, amazing food that was well worth the price. Amazing view at night, with great ambiance. The staff was super friendly, and did a great job!

It was nice to stay at a nostalgic motel from the 60-70’s. The food was very good overall. A bit on the pricey side but the location to Sequoia Nation Park made up for it. The people were wonderful and very friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
