Top Catawba Science Center Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Hickory

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel, with a great Italian restaurant nearby offering very good food."

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."
