Navy Gateway Inns & Suites China Lake

I wasn't expecting to like the VQ as someone else had shared horror stories roaches and mold, but I didn't experience that and was pretty comfortable. Everything was clean and decently maintained. In the deluxe queen in the Panamint circle, there was a kitchen with a pot, plan, electric stove and full refrigerator. I used the pan and the stove to heat water for tea and oatmeal each morning and stored half and half for the morning oatmeal as well as an evening hot chocolate in the fridge. I enjoyed the nearby walking path that looped past the golf course and ran behind base housing to the commissary. It was well lit, and I felt safe taking advantage of the weather for an evening or pre-dawn walk. I would not have felt the same off base. The bedroom TV had issues, but I didn't c

This is our first time here at the Navy Gateway China Lake Inn and first impression was good. The office and facility were fairly easy to find. We got a room and what is called The Summit Building and the room is very nice! Almost like an apartment. It is very spacious and has a living room kitchen and bedroom area also with a patio! Even has a parking garage for one car. We are here for an event to be held in Ridgecrest nearby and stayed here because the rate is very good at about $109 per night. And it very safe and secure.

This actually surprise me with the cleanliness and amenities. A few older reviews made me worried about cockroaches and such, but that wasn't the case (note: stayed in January) There was a living space, 2 TVs, kitchen complete with stove and full size fridge, garage, patio area, and good view of the mountains. Bathroom even had shampoo and soap Incase you didn't have it. Check in and out was smooth. Only items to note, carpet and flooring needs replacing. Construction on the water line by the road was going on during the day. If you are driving in later, don't use the Richmond gate entrance, go to the main gate. Waze kept trying to make me use the Richmond gate.

We had a wonderful stay here. The staff was very accommodating and the BOQ was perfect for travel with an infant. We did have some trouble with the door, but even with that they sent out maintenance on Christmas. I highly recommend over the area hotels if you meet the requirements.

Room I was given was outdated. The furniture looks like it was made in the 80s. There was a nasty brown/burgundy dripping stain over the doorway - looked like an exorcist took place not long ago. Bugs, bugs, bugs!!!! Every time I walked in our out the room I was attacked by locusts. However the room served it purpose- unfortunately I didnt sleep well because I was afraid something was going to crawl on me or my daughter. I hope these units get some TLC in the near future.
