I want to start off my review that I am an IHG member (part of the Holiday Inn hotel line). If you…read moredon't have a free membership reward started for hotels I would recommend because it can save you money in the long run. Now for the review, we hadn't stayed here before and came in at 2:30 on Saturday, check-in is at 3:00. We asked to check in and the front desk clerk said they didn't have the room we selected (ground floor with direct access) clean. She said they could upgrade us to a suite at no extra cost. Partly because we had the IHG membership (again it is free). The suite had a separate seating area with couch, kind of dated on the couch and chairs plus a dining table I guess if you need it. The king bed was nice and we didn't have any issues with the room being unclean. I am knocking off one star, this is kind of my fault for not checking, but there is a raceway in Hickory and on Saturday between 9 PM and 11 PM there were cars racing around the track making a lot of noise. Other than this the stay was great.

Customer Service there is a joke. Had a reservation through…read morea 3rd party, they couldn't find it. 3rd party contacted property. They still wouldn't verify. Wasted an entire day off of driving and dealing with this poorly ran property. I DO NOT RECOMMEND Spoke with General Manager, who was a joke, offering no resolution and a half ass apology. Spoke with the Hotel Group. Not much better. Don't waste your money here or any IHG property

This is an older property, so the hot water and the heat sometimes take a bit to get going, but…read moreotherwise very comfortable. I like the layout, with cabinets I can open to see everything I have, or close to hide it. This works a lot better than drawers for me. I found the bed more comfortable than Hilton's for some reason. The staff here are absolute gems - helpful, knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. Their service made my time here exponentially better!

I had a great I stay at the Courtyard by Marriott in Hickory. It was easy to find just turn on the…read moreroad in between Wendy's and Chick Fil A. I wasn't sure what to expect from some of the reviews but I was warmly greeted when I arrived and asked what welcome gift I wanted. I chose the breakfast voucher. I was provided a bottle of water and given a layout of the hotel and even restaurant recommendations. The clerk saw that I had a feather free room request so put me in a feather free room on the 4th floor in the Dogwood Wing. So this saved me from sneezing all night and was much appreciated. The hotel is older but my room appeared updated and was clean. I could tell it was well maintained. The hotel is far enough away from I-40 that I did not hear any highway noise and got a wonderful night of sleep. Noise did start in the morning from construction next door but that is out of the hotel's control and I was awake at that point. So it didn't start too early. My room had a mini fridge and microwave. The water pressure was good. I liked the safety grab bar in the shower as I did almost slip on the PVC floor when it was a little wet. The hotel has a pool and hot tub as well as an exercise room but I wasn't there long enough to use either. I didn't care for the breakfast but service was friendly. I will skip that on my return visit on Friday. I was originally booked at the Fairfield as the Marriott site wouldn't let me book just a night at Courtyard but when I checked again it did. Since I was concerned with traffic noise I decided to do another night here as I enjoyed my stay and felt welcome by the staff. Second Stay: Check in was friendly but I wasn't given a bottle of water. I was put in the Cardinal Wing on the top floor and could slightly hear the traffic at times but the fan covered up any noise. The hotel was full or almost this stay so there was hallway noise and someone woke me up at 7am, so more soundproofing would have been appreciated. But I do like this hotel and will return again.

We saw the Wood Brothers play at The Crossing on a Friday night in November. Hollar Mill is a cool…read moreconcept, especially for a small town like Hickory. An old mill space with a second lease on life, now holds various shops, restaurants, and the Crossing, a big event venue that obviously hosts some concerts but looks like it'd make a great wedding venue, too. We grabbed dinner at Highland Avenue just across the way before the show (review for them to follow) and then wandered over for the concert. The Crossing has a decent bar with a couple beers on draft as well as some bottles/cans and wine. You can leave the venue with your drink and hang out on the upstairs patio/balcony area. A nice spot to get some fresh air and have a conversation without screaming over the tunes. The acoustics weren't great for the Wood Brothers -- LOTS of feedback -- and it's all general admission. There are some benches with enough seating for about 10-15 people around the edge of the room. We stood in a few different spots all around the venue and I had a hard time seeing everywhere. While it was a sold out show, it didn't feel too crazy packed. All in all, it's a pretty venue in a cool spot but the acoustics and limited visibility make it a tough spot to enjoy a concert.

Went to Hickory for the first time to see The Wood Brothers, and this venue was okay. It is flat,…read moreso you do need to be up close if you care about that. The crowd was very alive, I can say that much...! I thought the overall venue atmosphere was neat, although I didn't care for the draperies hanging from the ceiling (just not my style). The only reason I didn't give 4 stars is because the beer selection was HORRIBLE. We are talking basic, gross (to me) beers: Coors Light (maybe??), Miller Lite, that genre. Two beers on tap, but also bad. No IPAs or dark beers or selection at all. Really irritated me, especially because there are tons of great breweries in our state, and Hickory is situated between many of them. I saw signage for the Blowing Rock Brewery and regret not going there for a pre-show brew.
