On the surface, I had a lovely stay. The staff was kind and helpful. The room was serviceable. The location and the price were amazing. However, when I returned home, I woke up the next morning with bed bug bites on my arm. It has been nearly a week since I have returned home and the only bites that have surfaced are the ones that I found following my stay at this hotel. Which leads me to believe that sadly the bites came from my stay at Gateway. I was thinking of staying here again for my next trip to DC, but I will now never stay here again and strongly advise against staying here to anyone else.
