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.
