Everything was fine until the last night. The pool is supposed to close at dusk but there were people partying by the pool until super late without any supervision from staff. If I had to bet, there were no staff even there. It was just a little weird because there was no barrier where my room was so it was like I was at the party.

We have stayed at the central motel a handful of times. Absolutely love it on every visit! Can hardly believe it is rated as a two star motel. Rooms are large and clean with tons of floor space. So bright and comfortable. Not a large hotel chain so maybe doesn’t have the same amenities but has an amazing restaurant right on site and a really nice pool. Highly, highly recommend!

If you're here to ride the Withlacoochee State Trail, I highly recommend staying here. It's very clean and right on the trail at approximately 30mm. It's not fancy but it has a pool and a chain link, covered shed to lock your bikes in. Several places to eat just a few miles away, but otherwise it's a simple town with little else to explore. The staff was friendly and the rooms were very clean and comfortable.

The room was immaculately clean. Nikki showed great attention to detail in not only cleaning every nook and cranny before my arrival, she had everything perfectly placed, as if she had readied it for a photo session. When I return to Inverness in October, I will definitely stay at the Central Motel. Perhaps to her advantage, everything including paint, bathroom fixtures, flooring, etc. looked brand new.

We've stayed twice and would probably stay here again if needed. The rooms are nice and large. The main thing that was disturbing was the blinds on the window had no controls on it so it was difficult to close and couldn't drop it enough to block the window. We wound up draping a towel across the bottom so no one could look in.

Stayed here two nights for an event in the area. Old motel that seems reasonably well-kept. Still uses old-fashioned keys instead of key-cards. Entrance and parking lot could use more lighting. Room seemed clean. No overhead lighting in the main room. TV remote didn’t work well. Shower worked very well and hot water was consistent. Bed was okay, and the pillows were just the right thickness for comfortable side sleeping. However, I didn’t sleep well either night. I think a big reason was the A/C was almost within reach of the bed (usually close for almost any motel), so too much air was blowing on me. The room had a small balcony, but the view was blocked by heavily wooded area about ten feet away.

I think I have stayed here six times over the years. That is why I returned. It looked like some remodeling was done which was nice. Walking into the room we immediately felt excess moisture. Figured they had just turned on the AC so it would go away. Not so! For three days everything we brought into the room and all our cloths felt wet. It was disgusting, Add to that the window blind had no controls to open or close it. I hope they can get the problem fixed, the people are nice, and the place is convenient for visiting my family, but I will stay elsewhere in the future.

Very nice Motel with clean rooms and real towels (not those shop rag towels you get at most motels). There are a few different buildings, and the one I stayed in was back from the road a bit, so it was quiet. The only drawback here was the fact that I had no wifi in my room whatsoever during my overnight stay. Upon check-in I was told there had been power surges in the area, and to expect that I may have to reboot the television. When I got to my room the TV was fine, but there was no wifi. Numerous attempts by hotel staff to correct the issue failed (though it did finally work in the hotel lobby), So I had no wifi in my room. Other than that, all was well.

We stay here often and love this mom & pop type place. There is easy access right behind the hotel to the 'Rails-to Trails" path and the hotel is always clean and comfortable. This stay, we were only here overnight and had put up the "Do not Disturb" sign to let housekeeping know we were not up and out yet but at 8:30 AM that was disregarded and she knocked on our door. :( i understand that these may be left on doors as people check out but never until closer/after check out time. Please don't let this happen again? We'd like to come back!
