      Holding this spot for upcoming information on hotels, restaurants, etc...
      ---------------------------------------------------------------

      Alright guys, been checking on hotels.
      The area where the shop is located is a heavy commercial/industrial area, and this means "not so great neighborhoods". So I've been trying to put a list of decent hotels together, and still stay relatively close to the shop. Only problem is my definition of "decent" and yours may be completely different. So here it goes...

      1-Deluxe Inn (817) 834-1271.... 6401 Airport Fwy, Fort Worth, TX 76117. This one is literally right around the corner from the shop. If you don't mind roaches and bums, then this is the place for you. Personally, I wouldn't stay there, but thats just me


      2-Ramada (817) 284-2126.... 125 NE Loop 820, Hurst, TX 76053. This one is better, but by no means a "5 star". OK neighborhood. Couple of small used car lots around it, but I probably wouldn't worry too much about it. It'd be close to the bottom of my list, but I would stay there.

      3-Comfort Inn (817) 577-4389.... 5151 Thaxton Pkwy, North Richland Hills, TX 76180. Not a bad place, but pretty much the same as option #2

      4-Holiday Inn Express-Dfw (817) 442-5919......309 W State Highway 114, Grapevine, TX 76051. Anything in Grapevine or Southlake is going to be great. So if you find one in one of those cities, I'd stay there in a heartbeat!



      Those are just a few options of the thousands available. I don't know much about Ft Worth hotels, but could check them out for you if you need me to. Anything around DFW Ariport is going to be decent to very nice depending on your budget, and DFW Airport is about 15-20 minutes from the shop.

      If you have any concerns or questions about a place you have in mind to stay, please don't hesitate to call me at 214-205-1287 and I'll do my best to either tell you what I know or drive by and check it out.
