- Justin (6/5): Great place no hot water - I didn’t have hot water even after letting the water run for almost an hour it never got hot
- Laurie (10/5): - 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!
- Bobbie (8/5): - The room was spotless, very comfortable beds. The staff was very friendly! The room I was in #2, right next to the office, was very convenient, but you could here everything that went on outside - people talking, & the traffic.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Comfy and Clean - Reviews were good so I chose this hotel. Close to town and conveniently located. Easy check-in and friendly staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Would stay here again.

- COLIN (10/5): - 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
- HARRY (10/5): - Really loved staying at Central Motel nice small operation just off the bike path
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A great motel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 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.
- Claire K (10/5): - Its a nice place to stay clean and friendly

- carolwD9911PI (10/5): Such a gem - This remodeled 1940s motel was such a pleasant surprise. The rooms are nicely decorated, clean, spacious and comfortable. Each room has its own balcony and the price is reasonable. Adjacent to the motel is the Central Restaurant where a discount is given to motel guests. Nearby are other restaurants. The motel staff was friendly and accommodating as well.
- Kenneth (10/5): - This is a well maintained old Florida Motel. The property also has a great restaurant on site. My wife was very pleased that the high ratings it got, were true!
- Chris (10/5): 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.
- Jo Anne (10/5): - Comfortable room…great location. Cute restaurant on premises.
- William (10/5): - 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!
- Bove (10/5): Great Stay in Inverness - Very clean room. It was comfortable and roomy. Bed was comfortable
- Jeff (10/5): Great place, good value - Very clean,quiet, and safe. Only drawback was that there was no free breakfast. There is a really good cafe right next door though.

- Juan (10/5): - Great place to crash in the middle of town
- Chelsea (8/5): - The shower curtain was too small for the shower opening. Water easily ran out of the shower area. Would stay again.
- Raechung (8/5): - 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.

- Charles (6/5): - Comfortable beds but pillows in this room need to be replaced. Room was clean with the exception of the floor which needed a wash. Tap water was not fit to drink.

- lysa (10/5): - 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.
- CHRISTINE (10/5): - Motel is centrally located to everything we wanted. It is an older motel but very clean and comfy. We had a king room with a balcony over looking the Withalacoochie bike trails. Helen our room keeper did an awesome job and met all of our needs. Would stay there again for sure 😄. Thank you

- Charlyn (8/5): - Everything was great except we got freaked out by a device attached to the modem and TV. We just disconnected it.
- James (6/5): - The appearance of the property doesn't look like the pics on the hotels.com site. Cleanliness is not what was advertised either. The aircon unit was blowing very musty air and it made us feel sick.
- Amy (10/5): - Me and my family stay here every time we’re in town. Love the rooms and pool. Very nice staff and The rooms are always clean
- Thomas (10/5): Super Clean - This is a super clean Hotel/Motels Friendly Staff. The TV/Cable service is very very slow and is the only thing negative I can say about this Hotel. Prime location in a quiet area on the south side of town.
