Cheap and safe for the price. Not a whole lot of food options nearby but it is right behind a subway (walking distance) so that was convenient. Very basic breakfast. VERY basic. But there’s hot coffee and cereal.
My non-smoking room did have a lingering scent of cigarettes, but the place itself dos seem clean. A/C worked well and their tv options were decent.

The room was better than I expected, but I didn't like the connecting room door even though it was locked. The only time I like connecting rooms is when I room next to someone I know. Also, the stopper for the tub wasn't working so we couldn't take a bath. Only the shower worked. Other than that, I was satisfied with my stay.

We were in a king room. It had a sofa and a desk in addition to the king bed. The room was clean and cold when we got in around 7:30 PM. The property is clearly old but it is maintained and they have great rates. The shower was tricky to get the temperature right (too hot!) but once I got it figured out, it was perfect. The breakfast simply continental, although they do have a waffle maker. Not eggs and bacon and such. It was enough.

We have stayed here many times and will definitely stay here again.

I was traveling with a small (20 lb) dog and from looking online and having driven past this hotel in the past, I thought it would be a good choice. I was very disappointed.

At check-in, the employee charged my card before telling me the only non-smoking room was on the 2nd floor, which I could not manage. I finally agreed to a smoking room. When I opened the door, the bedspread was full of cigarette burn holes, room had not been aired out, looked like it was next to be remodeled. There was a repairman working in the room next to it. I was concerned how late this would continue.
I went back to the office to ask for a refund and was told it was impossible. Employee then found another non-smoking room on first floor. It was much better and relatively clean.
Outside were picnic tables and grassy area which looked nice in the photos. It was not clean, big black trash bag on the ground, overflowing, chicken bones on the ground.
Not a good place to walk your dog.

The lobby is clean and bright and looks like the photos show. Next time I'm in Brady, I will choose another hotel.

It’s an older motel that is keep very clean and very tidy. It doesn’t have the luxury of your name brand motels. If you’re looking for an economical price and spend a comfortable night this is the place. Our room had a king bed, refrigerator, coffee pot, hair dryer, iron/board, ice vending machine, color tv, small dining table with chairs. If you need anything the owners are there to assist you.

I mean, this is not a 5-star hotel, but it's really great for the price your in Brady, in the middle of nowhere, and if you don't feel like spending $200 a night at the Holiday Express, you can't beat this place. The rooms are always clean, the beds are comfortable, the showers are clean, the TV works, the fridge works, and the microwave works. It's an excellent bang for your buck. I stay here every time I come to Brady.

The hotel was very clean and maintained. The fact there was not only a good size desk but a small table for two available was nice. The staff was very friendly. The only downside was that the shower head probably needed to be updated as there was hardly any pressure. Overall a good little hotel and I would definitely stay there again.

Check in took forever

The most disappointing part was the check in. It took over 20 minutes for the man to check in the ppl in front of me.
Then I had the same experience. He clearly didn’t know what he was doing. He asked me 3 times if my reservation was for one night.
When he was done he handed me the previous guest’s ID!
Both myself and the other ppl had a reservation that he couldn’t even find them.
The room was decent. I wouldn’t say the bed was comfortable but it wasn’t awful.
The room was clean and for a good price.

Wouldn’t Do It Again…

First impression was not so great. The building is really old and kind of run down. I booked a double bed and walked into a single. The lady working was very friendly and corrected this right away. Walking into my room, I thought I was just going to check out right then and there. The room had carpet with bleach stains around the edges and you could feel the grit on it. We left our shoes on! The furniture was dusty. I flipped through all of the sheets, pillows, and mattresses and they were very clean though.Bathroom was clean. Smoke detector was missing. That’s probably a violation. Group of guys outside every night drinking and blasting music till 11:00 pm. We just needed a place to shower at night and take naps during the day, as we camped at the lake. The A/C worked great and there was plenty of hot water for 5 people to shower. The beds were comfy for our naps and the room was very dark during the day which helped with naps. I will spend the extra money for another hotel in the future though.

One of the best motel stays I've ever had

If not for Hotels.com, I would probably have not stayed here and opted to find a more recognizable brand of motel. I'm glad I opted to stay here when I needed to stop driving for the night. As far as standard, no-frills motels are concerned, this was one of my best experiences in such a place. The room was clean, and the people working the desk were very nice, both when I checked in Monday evening, and when I checked out Tuesday morning. I will definitely keep Gold Key Inn in mind the next time I am in the area.
