We went Thanksgiving weekend, usually we stay at one of the smaller inns for a bit cheaper but without any of the amenities. Meadowbrook inn is a very nice place with friendly staff. The breakfast was good, had the basic selections on it. Rooms were nice and clean. Short walk to Main Street and the shops. Would definitely stay here again.

I have no idea why there are so many bad reviews. Maybe it was wrong place wrong time for those people, but we had a great experience! I was hesitant to book at first because of the mixed reviews but from the moment we arrived I relaxed greatly. Our check-in experience was delightful and very welcoming. They explained everything clearly and answered any of our questions. Our room was in the main building. It was clearly recently renovated with updated furniture, plugs, and lighting. Everything felt and looked clean. I was never once worried about cleanliness. The hotel common areas are a mixture of antique and modern, but it has a mountain charm. There are ice machines and vending machines available. The gym is small and overlooks the pool area. Great view but it makes for a humid room. The equipment is dated but still provides options for a good full body workout. Cardio machines works great as well and there are TVs present. I just wish they had free weights! The pool area is nice and we only swam in it for a short time but it wasn't freezing cold as all the reviews say. It was manageable. They have a conference/ball room in the basement adjacent to the Breakfast Lounge, and it has a lovely gigantic fire place! The outdoor area had a cute walking path that led to an adorable gazebo. This hotel provides that cozy, Inn charm you're looking for from Hallmark movies! The reviews about breakfast were so bad I expected only cereal and bagels, but they had sausage, eggs, pancakes, biscuits & gravy, grits, bagels/breads, cereal, yogurt, milk, juices, and coffee/tea available each day we stayed. And it was good! The lounge has a great view of their outdoor walking path and it was so pretty covered in snow in the mornings. Coffee and tea were available at all times in the lobby. The walk to downtown is less than a block away, super quick and easy! I highly recommend staying at Meadowbrook Inn to anyone, and I had such a great experience I will definitely come back. People can't expect 5 star experience at a 3 star mountain hotel, but I had a better time here than most Hiltons I've stayed in. And we spent almost all our time in Blowing Rock inside the hotel due to an ice storm. We happened to be visiting over the weekend of Blowing Rock Winterfest, a big ice storm came and everything was cancelled. A lot of stores and restaurants closed so we spent most of our time at the hotel. Thankfully the hotel provided breakfast as part of our booking rate so we weren't as worried about access to food! We had a warm room, a tv with streaming options, coffee, snacks, a pool, a gym, we had plenty of activities to keep us entertained!

This is an excellent independent inn. We stay there every time we visit the Boone area (usually once a year). Everything about it is 5 stars.

The place was beautiful and comfy. The breakfast was very good. The room was very clean and nice. The only reason I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the WiFi was not working

We had not stayed at the Meadowbrook for 15 years. The rooms were fresh and the service was outstanding. What nice front desk staff! The pool was exactly as freezing as I remember. It's pristine and I can see why it stays that way because it's absolutely too cold to swim. The breakfast is not worth it but they do have complimentary coffee in the lobby and there are plenty of places to eat in the area.

Meadowbrook Inn is a well-maintained hotel close to everything downtown on the parkway. The Staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a full buffet of hot and cold food. And, there are plenty of places like the Toastery that are nearby if you want a personal breakfast before taking in the breathtaking scenery. And, dinner options close by too. We enjoyed our Suite which gave us plenty of room to enjoy our 3-day visit without feeling cramped. The room came with a small refrigerator and microwave, and hotel amenities were nice and added to our relaxing visit. Thank you for making this an enjoyable trip despite the on and off rain.

We had a board meeting at the hotel (third year now) and it works out great with wonderful staff - they were attentive and highly responsive of our needs - excellent meeting space, and quality of the guest rooms. Plus the location is ideal. We're able to walk to area restaurants and our attendees appreciate not having to drive again until they depart!

We had a great stay at the Meadowbrook Inn and would absolutely return. The staff truly stood out—everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the experience feel personal rather than transactional. The location is prime for Blowing Rock. It’s walkable to the main shops and restaurants and perfectly situated for enjoying the town without needing to drive everywhere. The accommodations were comfortable and well maintained, exactly what you want after a full day exploring the area. Breakfast was decent and a nice added convenience to start the morning without having to head out immediately. Overall, a very solid stay with exceptional service and an unbeatable location. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Blowing Rock.
