Love Blue Gate at Christmas Season
Everything very convenient. One in our group has limited mobility and had no problems with elevator and breakfast being conveniently located. We didn't get to enjoy the firepit and pool but both were working well and looking very inviting

One of the best properties we've stayed in - can't say enough good things about it. However, if you need something to eat after 7pm, be sure to bring something with you or drive to another town.

The Blue Gate Garden Inn is like a home away from home. Wonderful facility (and right next to the Performing Arts Center). All lit up for the holidays. Breakfast buffet included in the price. Comfortable and clean rooms. Just exceptional all around. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

I was quite surprised that when I tried to order a bouquet of anniversary flowers for my wife that you did not provide that service.
