We stayed one night while passing through town. Basic motel, reasonably clean, very nice person checked us in. Basics for breakfast…fruit, cereal, packaged pastries. Also warm biscuits and gravy. Probably the best choice to stay in a struggling ghost of a town - few options for dinner, all of which seemed to close early 7 or 8.
