My wife and I were on a furniture hunting trip to the Hickory Furniture Mart, and this Property seemed nice and quite close to the Mart. Pictures looked nice, and it seemed a good choice. It was a lousy choice. To begin with, there is no mention anywhere on their website that there is NO ELEVATOR, so guests must muscle their luggage up metal stairs to the second floor. If handicapped, only ground level rooms will do. Unlike most hotels, access from the outside requires a key card to unlock an outer door. Not here. These stairwell access doors not only don't have locks, they are left propped open, allowing anyone to come in off the street whether they are guests or not.In fact, we found two people who clearly weren't guests squatting by an ice machine at the foot of the stairs charging a cellphone. When we got up to the second floor landing, (again, NO elevator) we were shocked to find the clearly marked fire doors on both the left and right had been propped open. Someone had jammed a ball point pen into a hole in the floor to keep the doors open. Housekeeping, to make it easier to move their carts down the hall? We left for a while, but when we came back, they were still propped open, so I closed them. We went out to dinner, and when we came back, they are propped open again. The room was adequate enough for the price, but the experience with the lack of security, the disregard for fire codes, and the really rundown nature of the place means we will NEVER use this hotel again, ever. We have stayed in hotels all across America and Europe. Some are better than others, but you at least can reasonably expect basic security and safety. Not here.
