"We've always liked the Gateway and have stayed there regularly for decades. However, the recently added charge for pets per night is excessive and makes the place no longer "pet friendly" as advertised on Hotels.com. They would do well to go back to their old pet policy, which didn't charge extra. I'm sure they are losing repeat customers like us with the new policy. "
