Check in at Druk and all's taken care o (Source: TripAdvisor)
Druk Hotel in Thimphu has been THE eminent hotel in this capital city of beautiful Bhutan. It is located in the middle of the town, by the open public space (the town square with the clock tower) and set back between the two main streets of cthe city. Check-in is smooth and your spacious room has the ambience of a Bhutanese home with traditional wood funtiture coupled with modern amenities, making it cozy and comfortable. The restaurant offers a variety of cuisine and the Chef is also ready to prepare a custom-made dish for you. There is the business center as well as the wi-fi in your room to seamless expedite your work-related needs, while the exercise room and the bar offer the spaces for some diversion. And then the hotel staff -- from the manager to the bell boy -- are always ready to help and guide, and during the whole stay there all's very wel taken care of!!

Punakha used to be capital of Bhutan until the 1960's. You can still see this past in the atmosphere of this lovely town. The main attraction is the Dzong, but there are other interesting places to visit too.

This is Punakha's most popular hotel. Here is a review -
Upon our arrival, the staff could not have been more friendly, courteous and ready to please. Our cottage was clean, roomy, nice view...even had a little balcony. Everything worked and there was plenty of hot water. Beds were comfortable(the staff reconfigured our beds to put them next to one another).

Phobjikha Valley is a bowl shaped glacial valley known for a very large flock of black necked cranes that the valley is famous for.
Highly recommended if you're looking to have 180 degree views of the valley and be away from the city center.
Excellent stay in a gorgeous location. Very friendly & helpful staff. Small wood stoves provided nighttime heating, and electricity had come to the valley only 2 weeks before our stay, so still a bit rocky in terms of electric service. Food adequate. Very comfortable beds, and staff will bring early-morning tea or coffee to your room, a definite plus on a chilly morning! HOt water bottles available at bedtime too, so be sure to ask for one!
Lovely hotel, rustic but comfortable - Review of Dewachen Hotel, Thimphu, Bhutan - TripAdvisor (Source: TripAdvisor)
More at - Dewachen Hotel
Rates start from 50$ for a double room but since you are going during the off season, you will get a 25% discount.
Dewachen is the only hotel other than the swanky Amankora in the Phobjikha Valley.
The Haa Valley was only opened to tourists in 2002. Because of this there is only one hotel, The Rigsum Lodge. It is a rustic place but travelers have reported very good experiences. Contact Information for the Rigsum Lodge is currently not available on the internet, so I suggest that you get some info once you reach Bhutan.
Here's a quick list of places you should check out for their vegetarian food.
Just as an added insight here's something from atraveller who recently visited.
Having returned from Bhutan a couple of days ago i can confirm that you should not have any problem finding at least basic vegetarian food ( rice, vegetables etc ) . You also should not have a problem finding restaurants serving Indian food ( Samosas, Dosas, desi sweets etc ) . They are all listed in Lonely Planet. Just a word of caution though . In Punakha and a couple of other restaurants in the interiors we found the food slightly expensive in the sense that they only had a so called buffet where for 350 bucks all you got was red rice, potatoes in cheese ( a local staple ) and some boiled carrots and beans.
I didnt get the feeling at the places i ate in that the food was cooked in beef stock.
vegetarian food in Paro and Thimpu? (Source: travel forum)
Incidently this is also a really good hotel which you might want to check out here.
The Amankora boasts international fare and five-star service. Not surprisingly the hotels that primarily cater to Indian guests serve up good-value curries.

The chef was able to prepare fried rice and vegetable manchurian for us, even though it was not on the menu. Our vegetarian diet was not a problem because the chef prepared everything we asked for. The delicious food arrived promptly. All in all, Zhiwa Ling is a hotel with fantastic service in a beautiful setting. It was truly a delightful experience.

Since you are going in February, which is not the season in Bhutan, you should not have any problem finding rooms without a booking or reservation.
I also looked at your flight problem, and flights are indeed expensive and have become more than the 300$ you quoted. I did some checking, and Indore has flights to Siliguri via Delhi for about 110$. From Siliguri there are regular buses going to phuentsholing. The tickets cost 1.5$ and from there you can take a cab to Thimpu for about 3-4$.

In Bhutan, Meat is actually an exception. Meat is served to tourists because the Bhutanese expect that tourists are mainly non-veg eaters. But you should have no problem finding veg food anywhere in Bhutan, and you should try their national dish, red rice with chilly peppers and cheese (Emma Datse).
I hope you guys have a great trip and that I was of some help. Bhutan is a lovely place, enjoy it to the fullest, and may the blessings of the Thunder Dragon be with you on your journey.
