The Plains Hotel

Built in 1911, the stalwart Plains Hotel went through a long period of decline before enjoying a complete overhaul that was finished in 2003, giving its rooms, lobby, and restaurant a much-needed face-lift in the process. Under a stained-glass ceiling, the lobby is a multipillared space with its original tile floor and a retouched mural on the walls ringing the ceiling. Rooms run the gamut from standard (with a king-size bed or one or two queen-size) to larger parlor suites (a king-size or two queen-size) to true two-room suites, one of which is done up in high cowboy style thanks to the help of American Cowboy magazine. The rooms on the whole are comfortable and attractive, with a subtle Western motif, with bathrooms that vary in terms of amenities and quality -- some are a bit old, some have showers only, and others feature the vanities in the rooms. The elevators are also quite dinky: As the story goes, they built them that way so people couldn't take their horses up to their rooms.
