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!

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.

It is always a clean and welcoming place to stay. The pool was closed for repairs which is disappointing considering the time of year. Easy access from I40

Reservation was a gift for mothers day. Denied checkin without mother who gifted it. She was watching our 4 children. She gave us her credit card that booked it. She talked to rude front desk clerk named Michelle. Isaiah from Expedia customer service said no refund plus penalty fee. Expedia heard entire story and was NO HELP. I.WOULD THINK AFTER 20PLUS YEARS USING EXPEDIA THEY WOULD HAVE HONORED MY MOTHERS REFUND. CROWN PLAZA HOTEL LOST ALL FUTURE GUESTS VISITING MULTIPLE TIMES A YEAR THAT HAVE STAYED THERE VISITING HICKORY. EXPEDIA WILL ALSO BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BOOKING APP.
