What guests think

At Sleep Inn Hickory South, travelers highlight friendly, accommodating staff, a convenient location near I-40 and restaurants, and budget-friendly rates, while noting small rooms and bathrooms, variable cleanliness, and an often decent yet inconsistent hot breakfast.

Several reviews mention musty or smoke odors, humidity or A/C problems, and occasional pests, alongside dated areas or spotty maintenance. Parking is easy, but noise from nearby traffic or other guests can intrude. A refundable deposit and slow returns frustrated some guests. Expect a basic, convenient stopover with mixed upkeep.

Although this hotel does not have a pool onsite they have a membership at the YMCA which is nearby. No problem for me since I was there on business and did not have time for a swim anyway. Great location and very quiet considering the close proximity to I-40.

We had an extremely late check-in and I was nervous about even making it before 2am. The night manager was waiting for me - I didn't even have to ring the doorbell at 1:50am. He was very pleasant. Breakfast was good - not great, but good. I used the fitness center. It was adequate.

This Sleep Inn was fine for its level as a hotel. The breakfast was quite solid and the coffee surprisingly good. Hotel has a little fitness room. My room was clean but note that the building is old and it shows. Bed was satisfactory, nothing special. Some of the hand towels had stains on them which is unacceptable. TV has plenty of channels, including premiums, but the remote is not user friendly at all. Room has a microwave and small fridge.

I came to stay at this hotel because my best friend’s wedding was the weekend of my stay and the venue wasn’t far from this location. Upon arrival, all seemed well. The front desk appeared friendly and they got me checked in right away. Getting to my room, it appeared clean, but as soon as I got to the restroom I suspected something might be wrong. The towels were filthy. They looked as if they had not been changed from whoever stayed in the room previously. My girlfriend went down to the front desk to ask for new towels and the woman at the front desk gave her an attitude about not having brought up the dirty towels with her even though my girlfriend explained to me that she had been kind to the woman at the front desk and just asked for replacement towels and was not complaining. My girlfriend came back with new towels and brought the old ones back. Upon further inspection of the room, the bedding was also filthy. There were blood and dirt stains all over the blankets and sheets. I brought these up and when I spoke to the woman at the front desk she was apologetic, I was appreciative of that but had no time to leave a complaint as I had little time at this point to get ready for my the rehearsal dinner for my friend’s wedding. Let me be clear, the bedding was given to me to redress my own bed. There was no offer to have us change rooms and there was no offer to have house keeping go back over the room and redress the bed. We spoke to the front desk many times, left unhappy.

Staff was very nice and hardworking. The overall property is kept up, but the rooms are showing their age. Especially the bathrooms, you can tell they have been updated but the overall appearance leaves a lot to be desired. There is alot of moisture in the rooms and hallways. Gives a damp smell.

I’m still unsure how this hotel had such positive reviews.. My husband and I stayed for one night on December 27th. Upon arriving, we were asked to pay a $50 deposit. We were told the room was non-smoking and our $50 would not be refunded if we smoked in the room. When we walked into the room, we smelled nothing but cigarette smoke. The walls and light switches in the bathroom were yellow due to nicotine. The room was not clean. The floors were dirty and there was hair on the bathroom counter and in the towels. The shower head even fell off while my husband was taking a shower! The only positive things I can say about this hotel are that the bed was comfortable and the AC works well.

This is supposed to be a 4 star hotel and believe me they charge as if it were, but…The stairs to the second floor were filthy with food spills and trash. My room was old with a few poorly constructed updates that allowed dirt to fill the crevices. The floors in the bathroom were sticky. The bed was somewhat comfortable but the pillows smelled of dirt and sweat. I tried to pull up the bottom sheet to check for bedbugs, but the mattress cover shredded as I lifted it. I wanted to have ice for my water, but the ice machine was filthy as well. I took a picture of the ice shoot to see if it was clean, but no, it was thick with black mold. And to top it off, I woke up to a large water bug crawling toward me on the floor. If I hadn’t just driven for 12 hours and exhausted, I absolutely would’ve gone somewhere else. It’s a shame that they take advantage of weary travelers that way. I told the front desk and didn’t even get an apology.

TERRIBLE. DO NOT STAY. RUDE MANAGER NAMED HOPE. I called around noon because I needed to transfer my reservation to my husband’s name, I forgot my ID, I was told this was no problem. Upon arrival I was greeted by HOPE, the manager, and she was huffing and puffing while having to make the change again. My husband simply asked if she was okay, because she was in such distress while doing her job, then refused our booking. Then she called the hotel across the street to tell them to refuse us. THANKFULLY, we found a *HILTON* and checked in just fine, no huffing and puffing. My first and last time ever booking a sleep inn. Expedia refunded my stay. *HOPE* YOU FIND NEW MANAGEMENT!!

When I got up at 5am and went down for morning coffee the lady was snappy and snarky. I asked if there was more creamer and she said “No” I said “ this just isn’t my weekend” and she said “ EXCUSE ME?” Sheesh lady. Go get some sleep.

We were there on Friday and Saturday nights. The room itself was fine, comfortable though small. The front desk attendants were nice. Problems were noise and the bathroom. The most significant noise issues came from outside, specifically 1) street cruisers on nearby Lenoir-Rhyne Blvd and 2) cars with extremely loud sound systems in the parking lot of the restaurant next door. I don’t know if the same nuisance problems occur on a weeknight, but I could not recommend this hotel for a weekend. The city of Hickory should resolve all these problems, to be more welcoming to visitors. The bathroom needs a deeper cleaning and serious maintenance of trim work, grout, etc, which looked very dingy and old and messy.
