- One block from the beach and the Boardwalk
- Large rooms with balconies, some with ocean views
- Small outdoor pool

- Free breakfast with make-your-own waffles
- Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel
Cons
- Parking lot a tough fit for large cars
- No full restaurant or bar
- Gym is tiny, with limited equipment
Bottom Line
This 84-room hotel has a prime location -- a block from the Ocean City Boardwalk and the beach. The rooms are clean and modern, with small balconies, and those on the fifth floor have ocean views. A small outdoor pool sits in the middle, and the free breakfast includes make-your-own waffles. There's a tiny gym with a few cardio and weight machines, but it seems more like an afterthought. Another drawback is the size of the small parking lot; guests with large cars will likely find it a tight fit. But budget-minded travelers who want to be in the throes of Ocean City will find the Gateway Hotel & Suites a good choice. Another budget option to consider could be the Holiday Inn Express Ocean City, which has both indoor and outdoor pools.

Scene
Warm, homey atmosphere with clean facilities and a small pool
The Gateway Hotel & Suites has a warm atmosphere that sets it apart from other chain hotels, helped along by a friendly staff and small details, such as the homey seating area off the lobby, which has floating shelves lined with flowers, a black leather couch and armchairs. The breakfast room is bright and cheerful, with a flat-screen TV on the wall and food set out along a long marble counter. The pool is small but has plenty of lounge chairs, and will do for a quick dip.
Location
A block from the boardwalk and beach, in the heart of Ocean City
The hotel sits on the west side of Baltimore Avenue, a busy street that must be crossed to reach the Boardwalk and the beach, which are a block away. Restaurants abound, and it’s less than a 10-minute walk to Jolly Roger at the Pier. It’s a five-minute drive to the Tanger Factory Outlet, and a 10-minute drive to the Roland E. Powell Convention Center. Ocean City Municipal Airport is a 10-minute drive from the property.
Rooms
Large rooms with microwaves and small balconies; some rooms have ocean views
The 84 rooms at the Gateway Hotel & Suites are spacious, with standard chain-hotel decor, but the black-and-white floral fabrics on the edge of the beds add an unexpected pop. Bathrooms, also large, have long marble vanities, curtained shower/tub combos, and hairdryers. All rooms come with balconies, and fifth-floor rooms have beautiful ocean views. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, mini fridges, microwaves, coffeemakers, and irons and ironing boards.
Features
Free breakfast, small outdoor pool, tiny fitness room, and free Wi-Fi
The hotel serves a free breakfast with a variety of foods, including eggs, sausage, cereal, and make-your-own waffle stations, along with fruit, coffee and juice. The outdoor pool is small, but it has plenty of seating. A tiny carpeted fitness room has a handful of cardio and weight machines. Parking is free (one space per room), but the spaces are a tight fit for large cars. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and there's a coin-operated laundry.
