Meadowlark Motel with Restaurant & Bar - Maggie Valley NC

"We went to a party in the area and didn't want to drive home late, so we grabbed a room at the Meadowlark. Friendly, family-run atmosphere. The hotel was clean and we had a very comfortable night."

"Stayed here as a last minute impromptu visit while we were passing through town. The price was fair and it allowed pets so that was good enough for us. This turned out to be such a pleasant experience. As we checked in, I saw something on the sign about a "speakeasy" and couldn't believe it. So I did some digging and sure enough...they have a speakeasy & live music in the basement! Who knew!?! The atmosphere was cute, friendly bartenders and good music (folky/bluegrass that night). My bf and I had a good time laughing at some of the Google reviews previous guests left. Some of them are ridiculous...complaining about off site restaurants that have absolutely nothing to do with this motel. If you're expecting a luxury resort...you're in the wrong town. You will be disappointed. But if you've ever been to Maggie Valley before then you know what to expect. This place was quaint, local, clean & the owners were nice. The breakfast far exceeded my expectations! It's simple yet versatile and better than ANY chain hotel breakfast that I've had in years. Random, but I love the keychain that the room key is on...and the fact that we have an actual KEY. Definitely goes along with the nostalgic theme that this place gives. To Recap here's my Favs: -Allows pets -Good drinks & live music -Location / Safe -Nice breakfast -Clean linens -Friendly staff/Locally owned Would definitely stay again if we're in town."

"Don’t sleep (no pun intended) on this small older motel in the heart if Maggie Valley NC. Clean accommodations right by a creek to explore. The speakeasy with entertainment was great and the eclectic decor interesting. Some great cocktails and wines there made for a relaxing evening. Refrigerator and microwave in the room was nice for bringing snacks and heating leftovers. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to every thing we needed. Our sweet little pup was welcomed as well. The owner Joseph was super nice and even helped us to get an item we mistakenly left behind. For our visit to this charming mountain town the Meadowlark Motel was just what we needed for a weekend getaway."

"Not sure how it gets 4.3 stars but the facility is aged, and in desperate need of modern touches. My half of the bed was on a collapsed box spring and I think it might be a spring type mattress that has been collapsed over the many, many years of repeated use. The decor was aged 1950'ish, literally. That being said, it was clean and spacious and the guy running it was very nice. Breakfast was a freezer full of frozen breakfast stuff to microwave opposite a full service kitchen with a grill that wasn't open. That was pretty much it. Whoever thought that arrangement up was tired of it all, a long time ago. I wouldn't bother eating breakfast at the breakfast joint next door. Coffee and service were good. Forget ordering anything gravy off the menu."

"It is an older facility so as you may expect the bathrooms haven't been remodeled but it was clean. It looks like they recently added a new refrigerator and microwave and the cable was good but I had to go to the office to get batteries for the remote. As someone else mentioned the mattress was hard as a rock. Very little sleep on this trip. There was a small table with two straight back chairs but no other place to sit other than the bed. After the sun went down you could sit in the chairs outside in front of the room. They only offered room cleaning on the 7th day so you needed to place your towels outside to have them cleaned and replaced. We had to ask for towels each day as none were returned to our room. The first night we were given towels that looked like rags with stains and one had a huge hole in it. The second night we were given pool towels as we were told they ran out of bath towels and hand towels. We only stayed 3 nights even though we paid for 4. Just couldn't go another night without sleep. I probably wouldn't go back."
