I usually stay at the Gate One Motor Inn because the rooms are clean, they have double queen beds, the staff is friendly, and you can tell they've been updating things. I don't usually book ahead, but the one time I used a booking site, they put me in an outdated room. The floors were coming up, there were cobwebs on the walls, the lights were wonky, the top sheet was literally a shower curtain, and the bedspread was covered in cigarette burns. The person at check-in wasn't very nice, either. It didn't help that it was Brownwood Hometown Reunion weekend and everywhere was packed. I'd suggest just showing up instead of booking ahead if you stay there. I hate leaving a bad review since it's usually clean, comfy, and a good deal.
