We based our decision to stay at the Gateway on the location and were not disappointed. The Inn is a short walk to the Merrick Long Island Railroad Station and a short distance from the event that brought us to the area. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We arrived about 9 PM and had an unforeseeable issue with... More

We stayed here for one night and were very disappointed with the standard of the room. Although the room was non smoking the walls were yellow and it was smelly. On the plus side the sheets seemed clean and there was no evidence of bed bugs. As soon as we got in the room I couldn't wait to leave. The... More

Wife and I needed a one night stay for a family event. We found the room to be very clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable, and we heard very little outside noise. The bathroom and shower were very serviceable, though the hot water tended towards scalding, a possible issue if you have kids, and one that should be addressed... More

I needed to make an unexpected trip to LI, and called to check reservation availability for the next day.

What a poor reflection... More

We had to make an unexpected one night visit to LI this past week for a funeral. I decided to book the one night at the Gateway. I was... More

We don't know what we'wold have done without you!!! You helped us "weather the storm" during the hurricane that hit our town hard. You were so welcoming and went out of your way to assist us during a time when we lost power for 5 days. The rates were fair, the room was clean and the service was excellent. We... More
