Top Hickory Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Hotel Hickory by IHG

Crowne Plaza Hotel Hickory by IHG

8/10 Good
"The toilet looked to have not been clean; not sure if it was some feces left in the toilet or perhaps some sort of rust but it was brown colored and appeared to be from someone else using the bathroom. The elevator is broke so be prepared to use the stairs +handicapped people need to be made aware of this. The neighborhood has gone downhill over the last decade or so (I've stayed here at least 8 times over the last decade) and there are lots of homeless people who hang out in the vicinity (I was approached by a prostitute as well outside on a Friday morning). Overall it's an okay hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"Our family of 11 (which included a 6 yr old, two 3 yr olds, and two babies) stayed for four nights and everyone agreed it was the most beautiful, best property we've stayed in (and we travel a lot)!The house itself is GORGEOUS, huge with plenty of room for everyone to sprawl out...the view of the lake was spectacular and the beach was perfect for our littles. We made lots of use from the kayaks and paddleboard provided (they even had life jackets for everyone!), caught a fish from the dock, and had an incredible evening under the gazebo as we celebrated the 1st birthday of one of our babies! The house has everything you could possibly need...basic supplies are included, there is a double oven (HEAVEN when cooking for that many people), huge fridge and freezer, game room in garage, beach towels, location close to grocery stores, etc. It was a magical long week-end and we definitely hope to be back in the future! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"
