Top Catawba Science Center Hotel Reviews

Best Western Hickory

8/10 Good

"Hotel was in okay to good condition and was a nice fit for my family’s overnight stay. Condition wise, the building could use a remodel and some elevators. The breakfast was good and did have a wide variety of items, which was nice. Safety was not a concern at this location."

Hilton Garden Inn Hickory

10/10 Excellent

"Connecting to their Wi-Fi was very confusing. I gave up. Only stayed one night so I did not need it the next morning. Hilton needs to simplify that process. It’s too cumbersome."
