Ratings and Reviews of Best Western Gateway Grand

8.6 user rating

My daughter and I had an amazing time at this hotel. This'is the only Best Western I'll stay in anytime I drive to Florida. Attached restaurant had wonderful salad and chicken wings. The pool is not heated so keep that in mind and the hot tub jets or not working but it was plenty hot. This place exceeded my expectations.
This is a well-kept, beautifully landscaped pet-friendly hotel. Our bedroom and bathroom were meticulously cleaned and the bedroom was spacious. The bed was comfortable. The pool and hot tub were also clean and operational. We highly recommend this hotel and if we are ever back in Gainesville or nearby, we will stay there.
We got a room last minute uder the stress of running from hurricane Milton and having a reservation fall through in Valdosta. The service was amazing and friendly. The room and property were beautiful, calm and peaceful. Would.love to find this level of accommodation every where we go! Thank you, Gateway Grand!
