It's in Wakefield off I-30 and West 65th. There's a fairly new (2008) Comfort Inn near there (8115 Frenchman's Lane) and a few other choices, but that's not a very nice part of town. Not to say you'll get shanked in the parking lot, just not a lot going on in that area. The nicer hotels restaurants, shopping etc. are going to be closer to west Little Rock. If you do in fact want to stay closer to your work area, check with the La Quinta on I-30 ... 501-455-2300. It's about 10 minutes from where you'll be working. In west Little Rock you might check out the Marriot Residence Inn on Shackelford 501 312-0200. If you're not crazy about that idea there are close to a dozen other hotels in that area. Hth |

Thanks for the info guys.
I dont mind a 20-30 minute commute if it keeps me in a nicer area. If I was only staying a week I wouldnt care but two months is a long time to be in a crappy area. |

Call Turtle Creek Apartments or some of the other apartment complexes in nicer areas to see if they have any corporate apartments available for 2 months. Seems to me that there are usually apartments that rent furnished apartments by the month. Costs more, but would probably be worth it.
Usually the rule that seems to work is to stay north of Markham. Once you get west of Shackleford, you are pretty good in most areas as well. |

I just checked the Residence Inn rate....$89 per night...jeez, thats over $5000 dollars for two months. Thats insane. Id be better off renting an apartment on a six month lease and walking away from the lease and paying it up front and walking away from the remaining balance.

You might check places in Bryant to see what kind of rates they have. It is a straight shot (maybe 15 miles) down I-30 to your work area and a decent place to be.

Bryant or Benton....they're not too far from little rock, but I haven't been there for rush hour in a long time. Has the traffic gotten better or worse up there? Maybe you would even consider maumelle.

I think there are a couple of places in the Col Glenn Rd at I-430 area that had banners offering weekly rates.

Maybe you would even consider maumelle. Rush hour isn't horrible for the most part - barring what seems to be one of our daily wrecks lately - ever since they added the 3rd lane on I-30. I would still go with Bryant over Benton, as that will put you closer in to Little Rock if you want to go hang out there and do anything over the weekend, and Benton doesn't really offer anything that Bryant doesn't. Traffic in from Maumelle in the morning is typically worse than that coming in from Bryant based on my experience, so I wouldn't go that route. |

Thanks for all the input guys.
The Turtle Creek apartments ended up being a great option, theyll let me do a 3 month lease but its not furnished. I dont mind an air matress but I wouldnt have anything else unless I did Rent a Center. |
