What guests think

Based on recent reviews, Gold Key Inn is an older, budget-friendly motel that many guests find clean, comfortable, and good value, though experiences vary with occasional maintenance issues, traffic noise, and inconsistent check-in or housekeeping concerns.

Several note convenient access to nearby food options and the ability to park by the room. Recurring drawbacks include dated decor and occasional bugs; some noted odors, weak water pressure or hot water, a noisy AC, and dim parking-lot lighting, plus a limited breakfast. Service is usually friendly and helpful, though a few guests reported slow or confusing check-in. Expect a basic, no-frills stay focused on value.

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.

Everything was as advertised and the employees that I talked to were very friendly. The only problems were a very limited breakfast and the parking lot needs a little attention. I believe the stay was worth the cost.

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.

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.

They tried to put me in 2 different rooms that both had bugs. Then they tried to play the no refunds claiming the bugs were "outside bugs" amd were in all of the rooms. I then politely told them the bugs shouldn't be in the room and that expedia gives refunds when customers cancel reservations because of bugs. The lady hesitated and got an attitude but eventually gave me a refund.

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.
