I don't like writing reviews that aren't truly delightful, but sometimes reality is not as rosy as information online.
We chose Stone Gate Inn because it wasn't a national chain and it had an 8.4 review average. We prefer to support small businesses.
I don't know how long the current Stone Gate owners have had the property, and they're clearly working on it, but they really need to be transparent in how they market the facility in their online presence. Many rooms were under construction from 11 am to 3 pm each day. It's a good thing we were able to go out during those hours.
There is no hot tub. It has been removed and they run the pool a little warmer than normal pool temperatures. Speaking of the pool, it's extraordinarily small, and the liner is both grimy and wrinkly. A family of two adults and 2-4 children would be the max for comfortably enjoying this pool at any one time, in my opinion.
Our room was marketed as a suite. It was a standard hotel room with a gas fireplace and microwave. We couldn't prepare a simple meal, nor was there a defined seating area.
Lastly, the complimentary breakfast was steam table scrambled eggs, an assortment of cereal, baked goods, oatmeal packets and fruit. If you're vegan or require gluten-free items, your options are extremely limited.
Don't get me wrong, the price was very affordable, so if the marketing hadn't made me anticipate better amenities, I would have posted "exactly as described", but this was not exactly as described.
