Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property is ideally located just outside the town center. The outside appearance isn't brilliant and could updated but that's the only downside. The room was clean and above standard ,the shower was 5 stars and the bed very comfortable which is all I wanted from a Hotel/motel. I would stay here again. 4.5 stars

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.
