The lobby is very clean but thats where the cleanliness ends. The room smelled like straight up mold with mold on the baseboards. The carpet was wet and smelled like mildrew ground the AC unit. The doors were broken and there was a hole in the bathroom wall. The furniture looked like it was picked up from the side of the road. Was not safe for my 1 year old daughter to crawl around. We immediately checked out. The front desk manager said to expect my refund in a few days when expedia contacts them to confirm we didnt stay. Hopefully they stay true to their word. $133 is insane for the room. Go to the Best Western!

Terrible overall experience. This is an outdated hotel with lots of exterior access rooms. The room had a bad small and the staff was very rude and unprofessional. We just couldn’t spend the night there. Do yourself a favor go past this hotel and find Fairfield Inn with clean nice smelling rooms, friendly staff for only a few dollars more; or any other hotel. We travel a lot and this was by far the worst experience!

Hotel was beautiful, can tell rooms need a little remodel, beds were clean and very comfortable. The only complaint is the old pipes I guess caused a stench in the bathroom. I’d still come back!

The staff at this hotel are top tier! Ashley Nicole is a valuable asset to the company. She always makes sure we are taken care of and when an issue arose she went above and beyond to remedy it. The restaurant is a MUST for breakfast. The menu is great and the chef is incredible. Best is the server who greets us each morning, Mark. Mark is professional with an impressive attention to detail. His service is irreplaceable! We are travel nurses and have frequented many hotels so this review is given with the weight of many travel experiences. We would recommend the Crowne Plaza to anyone visiting Hickory.

By aware of lady working the breakfast buffet and the bar - we had purchased breakfast when we reserved the room and so were given breakfast passes which means we did not have to pay when we went to the buffet - right? NO the lady at the desk said we had to pay a $1.99 gratuity and we could charge to our room - when we checked out not only had she charged the $1.99 but also a “restaurant tip” of $8.98. Was she pocketing the excess? Then in the evening we went to the bar and she was working. Charged us more than the listed price and would only accept cash - again was she pocketing the excess? Think management should check this out.

Very large hotel but somewhat dated. There is only one elevator that was far from the front desk at the north end and far from our room at the south end. This required me to pull a fully loaded luggage cart quite a distance from the front entrance. The luggage carts are only by the front desk and one of them had a damaged tire that was not apparent until after I loaded it.
