The hotel was very clean, room was perfect. The breakfast far exceeded what I'd expect from a hotel breakfast. I'm not sure I've seen a hotel offer to order omelettes.

We stay in a Royal Suite with our daughter and her husband multiple times a year. It is always up to specs every time, and if there is ever a blip, the staff works diligently and quickly to fix it. We usually make use of the awesome hot tub, pool, and patio area and they never disappoint. We’ve stayed at other establishments in Shipshe but always return to Blue Gate!!

We love the location & the friendly staff of Blue Gate Garden Inn. We rented two rooms for four of us. We all went to a show next door at the Blue Gate Performing Arts Center since it's so close, it's so convenient. The free buffet breakfast in the morning was great, nothing like it at any hotel we've been to. Delicious!
