We didn't reserved rooms under "North Carolina Checkers" at Continental Inn & Suites, because we could not get special rates because this is furniture market week. They want full price $129.99, so we reserved 5 rooms (2 Queen beds) at Econo Lodge in Burlington, NC at a special "Checkers Tournament" rate of $45.99 for Friday & Saturday, April 20 and 21st. Make you reservation and let the receptionist know you are a Checker Player for this rate. This is 26 minutes or 23 miles east of Libby Hill on I-40.
