Navy Gateway Inns & Suites China Lake - Ridgecrest, California

Alfredo Garcia Jr

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.

Best bang for you buck NGIS I’ve stayed in so far. Kitchen and garage are a plus! Full size fridge and a living area separate from bedroom. A/C in the rooms worked like a charm and I’m sure it’s needed during the summer months. The hot water is hot hot! Also there is space out back with a seating are. My room was located right wait the PA system on base so when colors sounded it startled me and the person on the phone with me.

Room I was given was outdated.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.

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.

Absolutely awesome to stay here. I had to take away a star ONLY due to a MAJOR design flaw in a set of suites. It was my second stay and the front door and backdoor face each other with TRANSLUCENT, NOT OPAQUE glass doors. The back door line of sight is across from the bedroom and you have to pass in front of it from the bathroom. This door also is in direct line of sight from a CHILDS PLAYGROUND.

I purchased covers for the doors during my stay.

The staff sounded indifferent and were unable to change my room as the facility was in no vacancy status.

Other than that. Amazing views of the mountains. Easy walk/quick drive to anything on base. Throughly enjoyed my time.

I'm not typically a fan of staying on a base, but these accommodations were very nice. Large rooms (full kitchen and separate living room) as well as a back porch. Not much to in Ridgecrest but this wouldn't be a bad place to spend a few nights. Two interesting notes is the beds have bed bug protectors which is either good (proactive) or bad (reactive) and the wifi was spotty for me. Still I'd recommend it.

Rooms are super nice for the price. Lost my receipt and had to call and request one via email. Spoke with Sharon and was blown away by her phone etiquette and friendliness.
