Just what we needed....

A very nice place to stay for a reasonably priced motel. Room was nice and clean and cool. The housekeeper was very nice and let us know we could leave the key in the room for check out. The front desk gentleman made recommendations for both dinner and breakfast. Its not a fancy place but we'd gladly stay again.

We enjoyed five nights in the Central Motel. While it is an older facility, it’s clear a great effort is made to offer a clean environment. A made bed & clean towels awaited us each evening when we returned to the room. Highly recommend!

Surprisingly clean room and updated bathroom for a roadside motel. Good choices for dining options like bakery next door for breakfast and cedar River seafood for lunch or dinner nearby. A surprising good pizza place at a newly opened, La Pergola in Inverness.
