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!

The Central Motel is ideal for everyone who wants to enjoy the Withlacoochee Trail. The Central Cafe next door is wonderful and we both loved the new menu.

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.

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.

The room and property were well-kept for a basic stay. It took literally 20 minutes to get hot water in the room. I was amazed that they still use physical keys. They also make you sign a waiver saying if you lose your key or soil any of the linens, you have to pay a $150 fee. I was worth the price we paid though, we didn't have any issues.
