    Lodging in Hickory?

    Has anyone stayed at Red Roof Inn in Hickory? Are there any hookups for boats and is the area reasonably safe? Thinking of spending a few days to fish Lake Hickory.

    I have a fenced in yard less than a half mile from the Wittenberg ramp. I Run my business from there, no problems at all. You are welcome to store your boat at my shop and plug up if you need to. LR blvd had some foot traffic on it most of the time. Choose wisely.

    Take squatchy up on his offer, when the girls were fishing their bass event here they all stayed at the hotel down the street from outback steakhouse,I think it is a Best Western, I personally would not stay at the red roof inn.

    If it's where I'm thinking, off 40, there's A LOT of people wandering around that area at night. Listen to the advice from above!

    I've seen boats at the Jamison inn near hooters. I would think the hotel off 321 near the bridge would be ok. Don't know if they have a place to hook up your boat or not.

    I doubt any of those have a hookup for a boat. Maybe the best western. Those are all pretty expensive hotels but they are the nicest

    Unfortunately most hotels are right off 40 and there's a lot of foot traffic around those exits, especially when it's warm outside.
