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.
