Fodor's Expert Review Meeker Hotel and Cafe

The lobby is lined with framed broadsheet biographies of famous figures—such as Teddy Roosevelt—who stayed in this landmark, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Rooms have claw-foot tubs and heavy beds; the Balcony Suite opens to a balcony that runs along the front of the hotel and looks out onto Main Street. 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.
