My parents wanted to visit the Lake Worth area in order to reconnect with finnish friends they had not met for 40 years. I searched in tripadvisor for a decent hotel in the area and the best I came accross was New Sun Gate. Knowing what we know now, we should have stayed in Palm Springs, Lantana, or any of... More

We stayed as well in January 2012 and had a very smooth stay. Very friendly atmosphere and well-cooked breakfast both days-thanks Mike! Overall this is a tranquil place to stay for a few days if you are just passing through the area. The breakfast area was cozy and allowed for guests to feel comfortable meeting one another, which does not... More

This motel is highly overrated. It's a dump. New Sun Gate is in need of deep cleaning and maintenance (chipped paint, stained tiles, dirty floors, marked walls). Rooms are not cleaned well every day -- stuff on the floor stays on the floor. I had to kill several cockroaches. The bed was so hard I could not sleep. The lack... More

There negative review of the New Sungate written by "barrysmall" is way off the mark. I have stayed at the New Sungate when in Lake Worth for for the past four years while attending a Buddhist retreat in neighboring Palm Beach as have several others whom I know. Rooms do NOT rent by the hour. It is NOT a five... More

I'm not sure how much Mike has to pay to get these reviews.....but this motel is disgusting. Checked out our "non-smoking" room and it smelled like an ash tray. A man and woman in the parking lot said rooms are rented by the hour. Mike said that he would give us another room....it smelled just as bad and there was... More

I stayed in the Elvis Presley room for my birthday and was so thrilled. Don't expect a slick, modern looking room, but something more comfortable and home-y, meticulously clean, and the most comfortable bed ever. Customer service was great, personable, attentive. Beautiful exterior from the mural to the colors to the landscaping. Really fun place to stay! More

I just returned from a 4-day stay at the New Sun Gate hotel in Lake Worth, FL, and really enjoyed my stay there. Here's why: Location: Lake Worth is a small, funky little city between West Palm Beach and Boynton Beach. For anyone who needs to be in the West Palm area, Lake Worth (and this hotel) offer a smaller,... More

I was booked into the New Sun Gate by business contacts while on tour in south Florida. This is an old-school Florida travelers' motel with lots of Florida character - "Hotel of the Stars" with each room named after a celebrity (Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Pablo Picasso, Marilyn Monroe, etc.). The owners, two hilarious and extroverted Iranian gentlemen, made us feel... More

Great matress, nice little kitchen with fridge and microwave. Coffee pot and ironing board also there. Very clean and well maintained room. Great price for a nice... More

The owner, Mike is always on site during waking hours and goes beyond the call of duty to take care of the visitors. Provides a hot breakfast, eggs, sausage, toast and coffee every morning at a very reasonable rate. It is close to City Place and Worth Avenue. Less than a mile from Lake Worth and a mile an half...
