Reviews of Red Roof Inn Hickory portray a budget motel with major cleanliness problems, recurring pest sightings, persistent smoke odors, mixed staff interactions, and a property environment that several guests found noisy or unsafe at night.
Some travelers appreciated the low rates, pet-friendly policy, and easy access to I-40 and nearby shops. Operational hassles come up repeatedly, including broken or missing in-room appliances, repeated key-card failures, parking affected by large trucks, and ongoing cosmetic renovations. Expect a very basic stay where value and location may appeal to some, but consistency and comfort are not guaranteed.

Facilities
Amenities are basic; several reviews mention old or nonfunctional appliances, limited in-room equipment compared to what was booked, and cosmetic renovations underway. Parking can be tight when large trucks take spaces, Wi‑Fi was OK in one review, and pets are allowed.

Things appeared clean and new in the pictures, but didn't hold up under inspection when I arrived. The bed looked neat, but there was a hole in it. There was a working fridge, but the microwave and TV didn't have a working wall socket. The bathroom and shower were neat, but the shower smelled. All of the light fixtures worked, but the bright street lights outside came in around the curtain. I was uncomfortable most of the time, and my clothes smelled after hanging in the room. Also, my first room was at the back of the property, where it was dark, the bed was low to the ground, and the neighbors were talking loudly. After I complained, I moved closer to the office. There are regular residents here who complain loudly about outsiders. I saw the police when I arrived, and there had been a dog fight, so don't bring your dog. A motel is still a motel at the end of the day. Take it or leave it. The good news? The wifi was okay and there was a Starbucks next door.

It's pet friendly. Property is in the process of renovations. Appliances and fixtures are old. Towels and bedding are stained. Improvements are little and cosmetic.

Checked into a single room. Floors were dirty and sticky. Bed linens were damp and filthy, the decorative cover was ragged and had cigarette burns on it. They traded me out for a double. Linens were stained, but clean i think. Floors were at least not sticky, but not clean. The room is nasty. Please clean these rooms. I drove 11 hours today and i didnt have the energy to find someplace else. Was looking forward to a hot shower but after seeing the tub I couldn't do it.

Room looked ok initially . Dropped something and had to move the bed. Dead bugs and dust. Bathroom had been remodel but ceiling had mold issues above the sink. A huge bug came from the ac unit and killed it. Told the check out lady and she said she would talk to housekeeping. Partying in the lot where the room was. At 3am it woke us up, peaking on doors and walls. It was more of a working company hotel than a hotel regular tourist to stay at. Half was red roof inn and the other econo lodge. The prices they had listed in hotel was 69.00 a night go figure. Will not stay or recommended it.

The whole floor in my room was nasty and sticky and the bed sheets and covers had burn holes and nasty looking stains on them and the mattress itself and I went to office as soon as walked in my room and asked for mop to clean floor and needing new bed linens to not get the mop or even room service to clean floors the whole time I was booked for and then the microwave was broke down and the staff at desk no help as anyone else I asked for help there other then to give me room key and paperwork to sign and I paid $125 for one night and would have left if I could have canceled and could have got a refund but that was the rules for cancelling my reservation for the night.

This hotel was probably the worst Ive ever been to. There are not enough words to describe the experience. Basically the cleaning was non existent. The hotel lets "down to earth" people use it. The entire lot screams homeless encampment. The only saving grace was the hotel clerk Jennifer but at the same not really. She told me id recieve a partial refund for the conditions my room was in. Its been over 10 business days and still no refund. The thing thats tops it off is the fact that they make you sign a no smoking wavier and agreement you pay for damages if you do smoke in the room. My room smelled like cigarettes, there was cigarette burns in the mattress protector. Luckily we took pictures. Also when I asked for new sheets because the ones we had were stained they gave me another pair that also had stains on them. We ended up going to Target an buying new sheets. Dont waist your money on this rundown junk of a hotel. Youll be sorry.

Cigarette burns on the bedding, toilet didn’t function properly and I had to bail out water from it in the middle of the night because it overflowed. I ended up checking out the night before I was scheduled to leave because I just could not take it. The woman in the office said that she would submit a request for a refund but she didn’t seem very enthusiastic or sincere, as she was distracted by her guest that was hanging out and smoking in the office with her.

No view as they gave away my room before I got there. I had booked and paid online and by the time I got there they had given away my room. I was from out of town working as a nurse and had to get sleep for my next shift. The lady (if you could call her that) at the desk was extremely rude. Basically told me"Oh well, I gave your room away" When I explained I had already paid for the room she stated" well I dont have a room for you" I asked for my money to be returned immediately so I could get another room somewhere but she got her manager on the phone and manager said " just because you book and pay for a room does not guarantee you have a room" . Obviously this was the first time I had heard of that because I thought when you buy something you actually get it. FYI, place on the outside was GROSS,, dog feces in the grass in front of the office, people hanging around outside their doors smoking marijuana. Just gross.

I was traveling from NY and had to drive to Asheville for a wedding... but the woman at the front desk was kind of rude and not so welcoming at 1:30pm when I arrived and asked if I could check in early as I had to get changed. She said absolutely not - so I drove to Asheville, changed in the car. Drove back out and luckily the overnight staff member was kind and nice given the situation. I only got to sleep 3.5 hours before having to drive to CLT to fly out. When I woke up - there were little critters walking around near the bathroom... so that didn't make me happy. I guess you get what you pay for right. The bed was comfortable and they had nice pillows... so that was a plus for them.

my experience was nothing short of terrible. Upon arrival, I quickly discovered that my key cards would not work, and every time I left the room, I had to return to the lobby to have them reactivated—this happened in freezing 30-degree weather! also, I had serious privacy concerns. The guests next to me were incredibly intrusive. Every time I pulled up to my room, they would stand outside, peering into my car. Even worse, when I opened my door to the room, Id catch them peeking through. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. One individual decided to sit in a chair directly in front of my door, smoking. I would have had to brush up against him to even stand in front of my door, which felt uncomfortably invasive and inappropriate, especially considering there was plenty of space on the other side of his door to sit.To make matters worse, I was wrongfully accused of my puppy barking all night. I work as a 24-hour remote travel agent, so if there had been any noise, I wouldn\'t have been able to do my job. On top of that, when I ordered DoorDash, the delivery driver was instructed not to knock, yet someone still did and very loudly,he informed me that it was the "guy next door", I have messages to prove this. I was threatened to leave due to false complaints from guests who are possibly under the influence,so I will not hesitate to extend my services and request a formal inspection of the property.

On top of that, when I ordered DoorDash, the delivery driver was instructed not to knock, yet someone still did and very loudly,he informed me that it was the "guy next door", I have messages to prove this. I was threatened to leave due to false complaints from guests who are possibly under the influence,so I will not hesitate to extend my services and request a formal inspection of the property.

The staff is rude abs they wanted us to stay there knowing they had bugs and when we cancelled they charged us anyway. I’m disputing it.

Seen several cockroaches. Had to go through 3 rooms just to get a somewhat clean room. Staff was great up to the point of checking out. We were given a hard time about getting the 100$ cash deposit back.

No view as they gave away my room before I got there. I had booked and paid online and by the time I got there they had given away my room. I was from out of town working as a nurse and had to get sleep for my next shift. The lady (if you could call her that) at the desk was extremely rude. Basically told me"Oh well, I gave your room away" When I explained I had already paid for the room she stated" well I dont have a room for you" I asked for my money to be returned immediately so I could get another room somewhere but she got her manager on the phone and manager said " just because you book and pay for a room does not guarantee you have a room" . Obviously this was the first time I had heard of that because I thought when you buy something you actually get it. FYI, place on the outside was GROSS,, dog feces in the grass in front of the office, people hanging around outside their doors smoking marijuana. Just gross.

Things appeared clean and new in the pictures, but didn't hold up under inspection when I arrived. The bed looked neat, but there was a hole in it. There was a working fridge, but the microwave and TV didn't have a working wall socket. The bathroom and shower were neat, but the shower smelled. All of the light fixtures worked, but the bright street lights outside came in around the curtain. I was uncomfortable most of the time, and my clothes smelled after hanging in the room. Also, my first room was at the back of the property, where it was dark, the bed was low to the ground, and the neighbors were talking loudly. After I complained, I moved closer to the office. There are regular residents here who complain loudly about outsiders. I saw the police when I arrived, and there had been a dog fight, so don't bring your dog. A motel is still a motel at the end of the day. Take it or leave it. The good news? The wifi was okay and there was a Starbucks next door.

This is by far the worse place I ever stayed. Very unsafe, very unclean and expensive for the money. If I knew such horrible conditions I would go somewhere else. Will never stay at Red Roof and I won't recommend anyone else

Got this room for my brother who just needed a night of rest. When I went in the comforter was dirty and food marks in the wall and curtains. It smelled horrible like pure smoke. There is no microwave so he could warm up his food. The environment was confusing because I paid for Red Rood Inn but it said Incono Lodge. I wouldn’t stay here but again my brother just needed a night of sleep. I’m a high class woman. I normally stay in resorts.

Beds were nasty & room not clean! Definitely not as expected! No single cup coffee maker in room. Property seemed as if high crimes happen there frequently and blood stains in the room reinforced that idea. Will never stay there again and if had not been absolutely exhausted upon arrival, I would gone to different location. Do not recommend - especially for a female alone.
