What guests think
Crowne Plaza Hotel Hickory by IHG draws mixed feedback, with many guests praising friendly staff, a large atrium, and comfortable rooms, while recurring concerns cite dated interiors, inconsistent cleanliness, facility closures, and significant traffic noise from the busy road.
The location is convenient to I 40, shopping, and dining, but traffic noise—especially on weekends—affects many stays. Room layouts vary, with some interior facing windows and small bathrooms, and noise from the atrium or exterior corridors. Dining feedback ranges from very good breakfasts and bar service to limited hours and confusing voucher or pricing experiences. Expect a convenient stay with variable room types and amenities; choose your room carefully if noise is a concern.

This is a beautiful hotel rooms were very nice and very clean. Oddly, it is not that busy but it is very well maintained the pool was very nice. I think the new convention center took a lot of their business away, but this is still a very nice place to stay in Hickory.

The Crowne Plaza in Hickory is one of our top choices when our family hosts our reunion in Hickory or Conover. Sadly, the hotel is not quite as we remember it. The space is absolutely beautiful and the potential is there, but it seems as though the hotel is declining. None of the amenities that were advertised were available. The gym and pool were closed for the duration of our stay. The restaurant menu advertises a breakfast buffet, which was closed the duration of our stay. The rear door worked only sporadically, which is really inconvenient if your room is on that side. Positives - their rooms are very spacious and comfortable, they offer a variety of channels on the TV, bathroom is nice, fully equipped with lotion, soap, body wash, shampoo & conditioner. Bathrooms are comfortable, & spacious, beds are comfortable, hotel is centrally located, daily housekeeping, which most other hotels seem to have gotten away from, staff was friendly, check in process was quick and easy. The on-site restaurant had a variety of options for breakfast and dinner.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Very clean, and comfortable. The only issue was it is very noisy but that's to be expected with the location. So many dining and shopping within walking or under 5 min drive! I do miss the sauna, but the pool and the gym are great!

Rooms are exposed to the outdoors, so poor security. You hear all the traffic at the busy intersection. Lot's of dead bugs and sink flies.

It's an older property and not in the best condition. Staff at the front desk seemed like they didn't want to be there. It seems like they might need a new key machine. The first set of keys didn't work and we had to get more made. One of the house keeping staff was quite welcoming and friendly but the rest of the staff were not. The pool was decent and the water temperature was great but there were not any towels in the pool area at all. The sauna appears to be not in use. Rooms show signs of age - stains on the bathroom ceiling and a small hole in the wall, etc.. Convenient location not far off the interstate. We came to town for Oktoberfest which was a lot of fun.

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.

The pool area was nice. When we first got our keys for the room they didn't work so I had to go and get new keys. Then when we opened the door it was an overwhelming smell of milddew so we called the front desk they had no kind of air freshener. The room cleaner manager gave us rug powder. Then we found bugs in the room and my wife was not happy. We got the room for 4 people my wife, me and our 2 kids we received 1 bath towel, I whent to the front desk they said they had no towels available until the next day at 9am. I whent to the front desk the next morning to report the sink in our room only had hot water and the cold water was shut off because it was leaking and to see if we could get some towels it was about 1030am and the front desk said they had no bath towels for guests. They did fix the water but the maintenance guy was overheard by my wife as saying that he told them about the water leak last week and he was the one that shut the cold water off. I am not impressed by this place and that's why we left a day early. The front desk personnel, the cleaning crew and the maintenance people are great but the owner must only care about profit and less about the property.

Bathroom was disgusting. Toilet had TP in it on check-in and there was no soap in the room. Had the impression housekeeping didn't finish the room cleanup. Overall, room condition was not what I've experienced from other Crowne Plaza hotels. Normally great but not this one. Would not recommend.

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!

I have stayed here several times in the past, but had not been here since 2018 (have stayed here five times in all). This was the first time I was given an "outside" room facing the parking lot, and was overall disappointed with the condition that the room was in, compared to previous rooms. The wall paper is peeling off in several places in the bathroom, and the dressers all looked old and well-used. The bathroom was also extremely dark and reminded me of a dungeon. There is zero light in the shower itself, as what little light that is in the bathroom is directly over the toilet (I prefer a well-lit bathroom, particularly in the shower). Being an "outside" room, it was also extremely loud, and motorcycles and other loud vehicles were heard clearly in the room for the duration of the night. Although my experiences in the past were good, it appears as if the hotel has gone down hill in the last six years. I will not be staying here again.

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.

It took me over an hour to get checked in. The lady at the front stated we don't have a digital card being that you prepaid. I can't get a hold of anybody so you need to call. I called hotels.com and then messaged hotels called the customer service. The lady then proceeded to act like she was getting dizzy and so a guy named Donald had to step in for her. He was very nice but didn't know what was going on because that's not his usual place in the hotel. Then the lady proceeded to say sarcastic things like I'm glad it's you on the phone and not me while she got snacks from the snack area and ate them. Meanwhile, I'm just stuck in limbo waiting. The hotel was clean, it is on a very noisy road.

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.

We went to get breakfast and they tried to charge us for it and then explained we needed vouchers. That should have been given to us at check in.

Convenient to I 40 and within walking or short drives to dining and shopping. Heavy road noise, particularly on weekend nights, is common; a few guests described the surrounding area as seedy.

The property was very nice and the room was clean. But our stay was on a friday night and the road noise was loud till 1am. Would probably stay there again but ask for a room on the backside away from the traffic.

We had an amazing time and this hotel has the old time charm and will go back if we are in the area again - the only complaint that I have is where our room was facing the main road and the cars were racing up and down all night but that wasn’t the hotels fault I would just ask for a room on the opposite side next time. The lady who was the bartender while there was amazing and just so nice as well as the front desk ladies as well but the bartender left an impression and was just so wonderful Thank you for a great experience

Clean and quiet inside; however, the street noise was loud even from the second floor. Sounded like a street race all night.

Extremely loud!!!! In the very close vincinity there are Loud Trucks & Motorcycles going up and down the road. We arrived around 8ish pm. They spent on into the night riding the road. When we arrived in the large parking lot next to street in the parking lot over across from Five Guys Burgers. There in parking lot of Hotel were teens drinking and Loud about 8-10 teens I went to McDonals very close to Hotel about 9:30pm and the trucks and motorcycle riding back and forth was so loud i could barely here while ordering. i asked the girl at window was this a truck motorcycle club she said no it is like this every weekend. Surrounding fast food and restaurants close either 9 or 10pm. cops sitting in cars watching activities. I got back to Hotel. Mc donalds is less than a mile down road. 5 minutes. as i was getting out the group of teens drinking and loud was still there. Heard 3 very distinctive GUN SHOT sounds. I reported it when I got inside. Very close range. later I called office and they said police came and security however they claimed not gun shots and not anyone on property in parking lot. The shots were NOT backfire from trucks!!! The area Very Sketchy. Of course they are Not going to honest about it because of business. I finally fell asleep 3am from all the trucks and motorcycles riding by Hotel. The noise was at least til 3 am.

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.

The Crowne Plaza in Hickory is one of our top choices when our family hosts our reunion in Hickory or Conover. Sadly, the hotel is not quite as we remember it. The space is absolutely beautiful and the potential is there, but it seems as though the hotel is declining. None of the amenities that were advertised were available. The gym and pool were closed for the duration of our stay. The restaurant menu advertises a breakfast buffet, which was closed the duration of our stay. The rear door worked only sporadically, which is really inconvenient if your room is on that side. Positives - their rooms are very spacious and comfortable, they offer a variety of channels on the TV, bathroom is nice, fully equipped with lotion, soap, body wash, shampoo & conditioner. Bathrooms are comfortable, & spacious, beds are comfortable, hotel is centrally located, daily housekeeping, which most other hotels seem to have gotten away from, staff was friendly, check in process was quick and easy. The on-site restaurant had a variety of options for breakfast and dinner.

Was a great stay! Clean, comfortable, nice. The breakfast is a bit overpriced for the food since it wasn’t fresh but it wasn’t terrible. Im sure if I went when it was first opened it would have been delicious. But, If im paying $15/pp the breakfast should be fresh for the entire time it is open.

The room was clean and functional. The hotel and grounds were a little unmaintained. The food we had for breakfast was good and fresh but not a buffet as indicated and the wait time for food was a little long, but since there was only one staff member for intake and waiting tables it couldn't be helped.

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.

While the room was clean and comfortable, the property overall is rundown and in need of a refresh. The elevator wasn’t working and there was no staff available to help with luggage. Also was not aware that some rooms have exterior doors, which is a safety concern for me.

Hotel is dated, but decent. Staff initially put me in a room occupied someone else, but were helpful in correcting the problem. Free breakfast would be a plus, but this hotel doesn't offer it.
