plannaing a trip in May . What motels are closest to the track?

 

your best bet is staying at the track for the smokeout

 

I know but the boss is paying so we're getting all we can

 

No motel NEAR the track. it's pretty country right there. Down in Rockingham proper there are motels and such. About 30 min-45min ride from the strip

 

SC Longhair is right, it is VERY country near the track. Your best bet is to do a search on hotels in Rockingham or in Southern Pines. Southern Pines is right on Routes 1/15/501 and about a 30-40 minute ride to the track, and has a much better selection of hotels. I can't comment on how pricey they are, I only work in and around Southern Pines. If you'd like me to check, shoot me a message and I'll check around the one's in Southern Pines.

Just a quick edit: Southern Pines is a much better location to stay IMHO. Nicer Restaurants, shopping in Pinehurst, etc. Nothing against Rockingham mind you, just sayin'.

 

I was just up that way (southern pines, pinehurst) saturday. First time and thought it was a pretty nice area. Went to an HD dealer in pinehurst. I'd search southern pines for a place to stay.

 

SC-Longhair thanks and a ATTA BOY! to DD&Weevil he sent a info on motels
in the area and hooked me right up (thanks again) motels in Rockingham are all booked but the ones in Southern Pines are still open and a have a good choice . So SP is where we're we are staying Again Thanks guys!!!
