We love the Blue Gate and loved our stay. The only complaint is check in. We waited 20-25 minutes in the lobby and nobody was around. When finally the receptionist showed up, there was no apologies or nothing said about us waiting

Love Blue Gate at Christmas Season
Everything very convenient. One in our group has limited mobility and had no problems with elevator and breakfast being conveniently located. We didn't get to enjoy the firepit and pool but both were working well and looking very inviting

One of the best properties we've stayed in - can't say enough good things about it. However, if you need something to eat after 7pm, be sure to bring something with you or drive to another town.

The Blue Gate Garden Inn is like a home away from home. Wonderful facility (and right next to the Performing Arts Center). All lit up for the holidays. Breakfast buffet included in the price. Comfortable and clean rooms. Just exceptional all around. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

Fun times
This a nice hotel With a lot of amenities. Pool is large. Staff is semi friendly, not outgoingly friendly. They have an omelette bar for breakfast which was good, but the omelette person was pretty rude.
