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

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.
