Gary (1/5): SUCKS!!!!!!! - We traveled from Grand Rapids, about $50 in gas round trip. We ate at a local restaurant, $67. We paid $60 to board our dog. We paid your hotel $153. We wasted about 24 hours of our time. Then after arrival we first discovered the concert at your theater was cancelled. NO OTHER NOTICE OF CANCELATION WAS EVER RECEIVED UNTIL WE ARRVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is only right that we be compensated $330! We are in our 70s, there is no way you can give us back one day of your life!

Diana (10/5): We had a great stay. Everything and everyone was wonderful - The breakfast was great! Lots of options. Nothing
Alexis (10/5): Blue Gate Inn was an inviting place to stay filled with warmth from staff to guests. - Blue Gate Garden Inn is a beautiful peaceful place to stay. Staff is always very friendly and pleasant. Our room’s window on the 2nd floor looked out over the patio. The patio has a fire pit and lights which are very festive and welcoming. Unfortunately the window in our room just had the one set of curtains which did not block out the lights. It is still our favorite place to stay.

ROLAND (10/5): -
LISA (10/5): Best stay when going to a concert at Blue Gate Music venue - This hotel was very cute. It had many more amenities that I expected. The morning breakfast which was included in the price was so much more than most hotels. That alone made the stay worth the price but we went so we could go to the music venue next store. It was so nice to just walk over and not have to park again or worry about having a beer or two. That I didn't have time to take advantage of all the amenities

dawn (7/5): rooms were fine. everything was clean, ice cream hours/day of operation terrible - the hotel was good. what i expected there was an ice cream place that was shut down completely like sunday thru wed...... why would you do that. the entire visit the child i had was constantly asking when would it open.... we all wanted it. i told them it was there and how we could do that.

Richard (10/5): -
Cynthia (4/5): Too many children - People letting kids run wild in hallways and loud until 10:30 at night. Staff would not intervene. This was supposed to be a pleasureful time not stressful. See above. Only good thing was the breakfast choices.
