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. New restaurant owned by the hotel was refurbished but chef and wait staff couldn't get my eggs right even though mostly empty of customers.

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

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.
