Meeker Hotel and Cafe

Meeker Hotel and Cafe Review

The Old West-style restaurant ($$-$$$) in this hotel is filled with a veritable forest of rustic furniture, and dozens of massive trophy elk and deer peer down from every wall. Peruse the menu (it's got lively stories of Meeker's past), then try the homemade soup, chicken-fried steak, and mashed potatoes with cream gravy. The lobby is lined with framed broadsheet biographies of famous figures—such as Teddy Roosevelt and, more recently, Dick Cheney—who stayed in this landmark, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Rooms have claw-foot tubs and heavy beds; the bargain-price bunk wing has rooms with shared baths.
