Built in a classic Motor Lodge configuration, only a small portion of the original decorative stone treatment was still extant by the middle 2000s. While the guest room exteriors retained their sliders and functional balconies/patios, the concrete block had received a light coat of stucco and the balcony railings had been replaced.

Squared off and decapitated in the early to middle 1990s, the Gate Lodge received an ill fitting makeover of stucco, button lights and blue paint, but at least it was not demolished.
