The gateway motel advertises as a hiker friendly establishment but don’t let the decrepit building deceive you… actually it’s worse than it looks. The owner sold us overpriced drinks after giving us disdainful looks. In our trail guide it says that filling water bottles at the outside spigot is ok but the woman quickly expressed otherwise. After trying to converse as she was yelling we ended up pouring the water out to appease her then were told to immediately get off her property or she would call the cops and prosecute us for trespassing and theft. This all of course happened after hiking 12 miles without water on an 86 degree day. I would highly recommend that travelers and hikers choose another place to stay or support, because this establishment is unclean, unfriendly and completely undesirable.
