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.

Fall colors
We enjoyed the Gateway, particularly sitting out on the huge porch looking over Grand Lake and the autumn colors in the sun. The woman at the check-in desk was especially pleasant in welcoming us and asking us if we had any questions.
