The room was spotless. It had a private balcony and it was right on the bike trail. Biking that trail was the only reason I went to Inverness.

I was impressed with the cleanliness of our room. I first stayed here 39 years ago, and from time to time over the intervening years. Better now than it has ever been. Professional staff did quick check-in. This is not a resort but adequate shelter in a rural area. The Central Cafe restaurant served a very good breakfast.

While it is obvious from the outside that this is an older hotel, the room we stayed in was spotless and updated. The people in the office were pleasant, efficient and very helpful. I did not hear amother sole even though the rooms were all filled. Everything worked as it should. While breakfast is not included, there is a quaint cafe/bakery in the parking lot, just steps from out room. The service, again was perfect. The highlight was the homemade chocolate croissant that was still warm . 5 stars all around!! .

Very happy with my 1 night stay - the staff was friendly and helpful, the room well appointed and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower hot! This family owned motel is older and tastefully updated. It sits right on the bike trail and is very convenient to the cute little downtown shops and park. I will recommend it and stay here again.
