We had a comfortable and relaxing stay at the Hotel.
Pros:

The 4th floor side view of the city and Boardwalk. And the Lobby aroma was always pleasant during my stay. Also, sitting out front with my Wife taking in the calm atmosphere felt relaxing.

Cons:

The parking is tight! Hopefully, Gateway can expand the lot.

Pros:

Everything, especially the location.

Cons:

Only one umbrella at the pool and it was always taken. I have had skin cancer 3 times so I couldn't sit at the pool with my wife.

Gateway is a great hotel.
Pros:

Gateway is a great hotel--very clean , large lobby with coffee and nice lounge area. Room was very large and well furnished. Beds comfy and especially the pillows were comfortable. The shower had long lasting HOT water for showers. Room also very clean. Also had a nice large balcony. Staff were very helpful and friendly, and the elevators were fast and immediate as soon as you walk in the lobby. The location is across the street from the beach and boardwalk at 1st street which is nice. NOTE: Crossing the street from the hotel is difficult because there is no light where traffic stops, and there is a lot of traffic there and dumb agressive drivers. The parking in the garage is tight but there is overflow parking for large vehicles like ours. I liked that it was bright and clean and close to the baordwalk and beach. I would stay there again. The TV was larger than most hotels, too. Thanks Gateway. We enjoyed our trip to O.C.!

Cons:

Crossing the street from hotel because there is not light there. Its difficult with crazy drivers and a lot of traffic.

Worth the value considering location and cleanliness.
Pros:

The small (2 person max) semi-private 5th floor balcony was quaint. Large lobby was great for hanging out or meeting others. Hotel overall was very clean! Comfortable bed and pillows.

Cons:

Parking was tight but plentiful at time of our visit. Outdoor Pool and deck was very small. The room ac unit was a typical through wall design. AC unit did not have a continuous fan mode while in cooling, which I typically use as a sound dampening machine to muffle outside noises while sleeping. So it was either cooling mode (cycling on/off) or continuous fan mode.
