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!

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.

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

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.
