Fatal Flaw active for this listing; exercise caution before booking. A serious safety issue affecting this property has been confirmed by local authorities. Pierce County ordered the Gateway Inn closed and marked all buildings “Do Not Occupy” after inspections identified unresolved life-safety violations, including dangerous electrical conditions, non-working smoke detectors, unsafe exits, chimney-related smoke and carbon-monoxide risks, and unpermitted construction. County inspectors later confirmed that rooms had resumed being rented despite the closure order and that the hazards remained unresolved; the property cannot reopen until corrections, permits, inspections, and county occupancy authorization are complete.
