It’s a very remote town so surrounding properties, dining options very limited. The streets were literally empty it was kind of weird but the remoteness of the area explains that

Middle of the road hotel

We booked multiple rooms for a family gathering. Some of the rooms were definitely nicer than others. It was tough only having double beds instead of queens. There were multiple breakfast items to choose from. There is not a pool as shown on some websites, but staff was friendly and helpful.

Very old outdated town as well as hotel/motel accommodations. Hotel advertises a pool on the property -- pool was cemented over years ago. hot breakfast consisted of biscuits and gravy only, plus the usual packaged junk. Desk clerk was great, but he is not an owner....
