This is a charming motel close to Breaks Interstate Park. The owner is very friendly and knows the area well. We stayed only one night, but if we had the time we would have stayed longer just for the super comfortable mattress and amazing pillows. The grounds are beautiful with views of mountains, the sounds of a nearby stream, picnic tables and a fire pit are a lovely way to finish the day.

The lady who checked us in the room was awesome! She helped us find a great little spot to eat in town and where everything was located at the motel! It was quiet and relaxing at the motel once we returned from town. Cell service with my carrier was horrible but that gave me a much needed break from it ringing.

This little hotel was perfect for my needs: clean, affordable, and felt very safe. The hosts were welcoming and kind. The mattresses are AMAZING — I’ve been looking for a new one for my house and I’m seriously considering buying one like the mattresses here!

This was our first stop on a 14 hour journey from Florida to Virginia to find our forever home. We had no idea where we were going, ended up two and a half hours through the Western Virginia mountains ... In the dark... I'm the rain! But then thru the mountain mist, shown the Beautiful bright lights of The Gateway Motel! I would have loved to stay longer. The owner was amazing, friendly and inviting. The rooms were perfect, cozy and warm. The property is gorgeous with the running rapid Creek next to it that you can hear to soothe you. They had fire pits and all sorts of outdoor relaxation.

A great place to stay that won't Break the bank. I'll be honest- I have a hard time reviewing hotels like Gateway to the Breaks because a five star review may create unrealistic expectations while a three or even four star review seems too harsh. The fact is that this is a basic hotel with very few amenities; they don't offer breakfast, there are no phones in the rooms, and the only fitness activity is if you have to climb the stairs to a second story room. That said, the WiFi is free and reasonably fast, the water pressure is decent if not exhilarating, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The room was clean and decently sized and the curtains did a good job keeping the light out. The air conditioner was more than adequate though the ceiling fan provided plenty of cooling by itself. I should also note that everyone I dealt with at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The real star of the show is that it is only about four minutes from Breaks Interstate Park, which is the only reason you would be staying at this hotel, either because the park's lodge was full or too expensive. So for what it is and where it is, it is a five star 2 star hotel. If you're used to the Ritz Carlton, you're going to be very disappointed; but if you are someone who worships at the altar of "we'll leave the lights on for ya", you will be glad you chose this place as I was.
