Glad it was just for a night.
Pros:

Location was easy to find.
Staff at the desk were friendly during check in. We arrived later in the evening so it was nice to have someone on hand. There was no one at the desk in the morning, we were to just drop the keys off in a basket when leaving.
Continental breakfast was nice and a bonus to have waffles available as a warm option.

Cons:

This facility is dated, and it could use a deep clean, as it felt like some elements are overlooked.
Our toilet had rings in it (maybe from the type of water?), and the fan was covered in dust. We did not use the towels provided in the room for our own comfort level and wore socks/indoor shoes around.
Lights right at the door made bugs fly in as we entered so had to kill a few flies before bed.
The bed was very soft.

OK .. for a short stay.
Pros:

The Gateway is more than 60 years old and has had several owners. It has fallen on hard times. Because we were attending a large family gathering in town we had little choice. The new owners have been there only one month. They have deep cleaned,
and while the rooms need a complete overhaul, the sheets were lovely. There is a waffle maker in the breakfast room, yogurt etc .. and good coffee. Is it humble ... yes ... but don' count it out if in the area

Super emplacement !
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse, avec possibilité de se garer juste devant la porte de chambre.
Bien situé : super snack dari isle et restaurant bowling juste à côté du motel ; balade à pieds facile en partant du motel.
Le petit déjeuner est basique (gauffre à cuire sois même à l'instant T, céréales, yaourts, café ou thé, pain).

Cons:

On a juste aperçu quelques insectes dans l'accueil/ salle de petit déjeuner en fin de matinée - mais on est entourés de nature donc cela provient sûrement de là. (Mais jamais dans la chambre qui était super propre)
