Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University
3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1015)
"We have stayed at the Gateway for over 30 years, and we very much like it there. However, the hotel has started charging a new $50 pet fee. That's their choice, but it does make them less competitive with other hotels in the area who don't charge a fee. Since we usually travel with our dogs, we may be looking elsewhere. "
