The Lonoke your customers live in

Interstate 40 runs through Lonoke, putting the city on one of the main travel and freight routes of Arkansas. Travelers search from the road, decide fast and will not call to ask what you have. Say which exit and how to get there from the highway on the contact page, and keep the hours right.

The ZIP codes around Lonoke have 8 hotels and motels with employees, a lot for a city of 4,299 residents. A visitor economy is uneven: crowded weekends, slow weekdays and out-of-town owners who need work done in their absence. Update the hours and specials when the season turns: that is a quick email, already covered by the plan.
