Gateway Hotel & Suites, an Ascend Collection Hotel

We had a room on the 5th floor that looked towards the ocean. It was very clean. I always check for bed bugs in every hotel I stay in and there were NO signs. The bathroom was spacious and lots of counter space. The AC was awesome. We were able to put it at a temperature that we liked. The location was great. All food stand were super close. A block back from the boardwalk but it kept us out of the crowds. I saw some reviews say about crossing with traffic which can be tricky, but make sure to use the crosswalks as the cars coming should be yielding to you. They legit have a sign overheard stating that. The lobby was clean, elevator worked good, and everything seemed well kept. I would definitely stay here again. Ice machines are on 1st, 3rd, and 4th floor. I know another review said about the bright lights outside the balcony but honestly that didn’t bother me.

Staff were great. Location a block off the beach and very accessible. Very clean and well run. Lemon water at front desk.

The location is truly what sets this hotel apart from one’s we’ve stayed at before. My husband, myself, and our 6 year old could walk to the beach and boardwalk anytime we wanted without hassle. The hotel is also at the most ideal spot regarding the boardwalk as it’s super close to all the best kid options, arcades/shops/amusement parks. The hotel also offered numerous games in the lobby that our son loved. We had a beach view from our balcony that was wonderful as well. The room itself was clean and very comfortable. Our son loved the pool, it’s perfect for small children and he was excited he could swim without using his floaties. The staff were friendly and accommodating with anything we requested.

This is our 4th time staying at this hotel and continually has been a positive experience! From the front desk to the housekeeping all of the staff are wonderful! The hotel is clean, safe and family friendly. We never had an issue parking, every room has a balcony and the location is one block from the boardwalk!

Location was great, room was spacious enough. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Coffee in the room was Starbucks. Nice surprise considering most hotels have that generic nasty coffee. Room was clean, but had some wear and tear which is to be expected in a busy beachfront hotel.
