We love the Blue Gate Garden Inn, and stay here a couple times a year. This last stay was exceptional! The room smelled so fresh when we walked in and they have always been decorated beautifully and have been very clean with comfortable beds and furniture. We always look forward to their breakfast buffet to start our day, with made to order omelets, numerous side dishes and this last time, fresh strawberries on their yogurt bar. Literally the BEST BREAKFAST of any hotel we’ve stayed in!! Love this place ❤️❤️❤️

The room had only a small table with hard wooden chairs and no other place to sit. I thought the breakfast was average when I was expecting a lot more. Beautiful place but disappointed for the price.
