Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Multiple reviews report serious cleanliness problems (long hairs, black dirt stains on bathroom floor, funky-smelling towels, mildew/mold around AC, rusty sprinkler head), so cleanliness is rated well below average.
Service
10
Several guests explicitly praise staff as friendly and helpful (offered a new room when noise was reported; multiple 'great staff' and 'friendly staff' comments). Service is a clear strength in guest reports and is scored high to offset other negatives.
Location
10
Numerous reviews note a very good location (close to I-40/interstate and Hickory, convenient access), repeatedly described as 'perfect' for their needs—location is consistently praised.
Room Quality
5
Room maintenance and comfort issues are common: very low/fluctuating shower water pressure, small/nonstandard pillows, outdated TV/guide mismatches, cracks and damaged corners, and other repair needs—room quality is below average.
Amenities
7.5
Amenities are basic: continental breakfast available (make-your-own waffles, cereal, sausage biscuits, coffee) but described as uninspiring and limited (ran out of orange juice, only apple juice, pool hours complaint). Amenities exist and function but are minimal and occasionally poorly managed.
Value for Money
9.1
Mixed comments on value but several guests cite excellent value for the price (spacious suites, more counter/shelf space than pricier motels, good for quick overnight stays). Overall leans positive on value given low cost and size of rooms.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Breakfast is frequently criticized as basic or poor (limited juice options, unripe fruit, pre-made wrapped sausage biscuits), though it provides minimal fuel (coffee, waffles, cereal). Food & beverage is below average.
Overall Experience
7.6
Mixed overall: strong positives for staff and location and occasional good value, but recurring negatives (cleanliness, shower/water pressure, maintenance) reduce guest satisfaction—resulting in a slightly above-target overall score when balancing pros and cons.

Not worth the money unless you are traveling by yourself. Small beds, smaller pillows not worth it.
Pros:

Location was perfect. Close to the interstate and Hickory.

Cons:

This location is transitioning from a Days Inn to a Wyndham but it's still very much a low budget Days Inn. We asked for two Queen beds and after checking in they said they only have double beds or King beds. The pillows were not even standard size, but small square like throw pillows. For two people to stay in one bed was very uncomfortable. The free breakfast was a joke. Green, not ripe bananas, only apple juice. They said they ran out of orange juice, however we were the first ones there. They had pre-made sausage bisquits, individually wrapped that you had to heat up. Would not stay there again. Not worth the money.

A mixed bag.
Pros:

The room looked very nice and clean. There were new counters and fixtures making the room look "up to date".

Cons:

The water pressure was very low when I showered. The TV guide on the counter did not match the channels on the TV, plus there was no channel on the TV with a TV guide. My pillow was too hard and some sort of alarm kept going off throughout the night loud enough to wake me each time it went off.

Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Hickory
Pros:

We were amazed at the spaciousness of the suite, for the low cost. We had a couch and two chairs, a coffee table AND a desk in addition to the king bed. The bathroom had more counter and shelf space than any of the more expensive motels we've stayed in. The location is perfect for getting off/on I-40.

Cons:

The breakfast is uninspiring, but there's hot coffee, make-your-own waffles, cereal and sausage biscuits so it's certainly enough to get your day started.
