I took a risk and went with the lowest price hotel, while everyone else in our group went with hotels that were $70 higher per night than ours. What a deal and a pleasant stay! People were great, breakfast was hot and well matained, rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, location was safe and not conjested like the other hotels... More

I stayed for one night on business. I was a little worried given previous reviews from old management but glad I stayed here. Everything was fine. It is a nice non-chain hotel, especially for the price.

Thank you for choosing Gateway. We have made some changes over the last year and we love it when someone takes time out of their busy schedule to tell us how we are doing. More

Stayed there April 25-29. Room was very good, clean, solid walls, (we had soccer kids in the rooms on both sides and never heard them) had all your basics. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Halls were well lit. No in house restaurant (or room service) but there was a Coffee House and Max's ( a great Mexican Restaurant across... More

Our team recently stayed here for a soccer tournament (April 26-28). We recieved $72 rate but as another review stated - it wasn't worth half of that. I can't believe how outdated things were. It wasn't necessarily dirty...beds were clean, etc. but the hallways were dimly lit, poorly decorated, and the walls were thin. They also looked like someone's uncle... More

As manager I feel the most important part of your review was that you noticed how clean our facility is. Yes, we are an older property but we offer a clean room with a low rate which includes a hot breakfast buffet. I regret your stay was less than you expected and we appreciate you honesty as it helps us... More

Very old and worn out hotel-our room had a musty/stale smell. We spent 2 nights here. The sheets appeared clean but had stains and the towels were very worn. When they cleaned our room they never replaced the hand towels or washcloths, only the bath towels. Had to ask for coffee for our coffeemaker. The continental breakfast is really gross-the... More

Very disappointed!!! I arrived at 11:00 pm after traveling all day. Chose Park Inn due to a post about new beds in this hotel. Had a room for my adult son and another for myself. Went to son's room first, his bed was awesome, my bed in my room was miserable. Called front desk and asked to be changed to... More

The location was easy to find. It was right across the street from Max' mexican eatery - a fab find for mexican food. The room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for our 2 day stay. The continental breakfast provided substance so we could hit our activities after leaving the hotel.

My family and I booked a week at this hotel, in their "new" extended stay area. After only being there a few hours, my youngest son and I got very sick. Puking, coughing, couldnt breathe; up all night for the first 3 nights there. We thought perhaps it was just us. But after talking to a few people that had... More

We stayed at the Park Inn in Hickory for three nights while shopping the furniture outlets. Our room was clean and had new furniture. The bed was very comfortable and also appeared to have new bedding. The continental breakfast was basic. The Park Inn is located in a good location to everything we needed. We would stay there again.
