Travel and Lodging 

The University of Central Arkansas is located in beautiful Conway, AR just off of I-40 about 25 miles north of Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas.  Finding UCA is easy, and parking is plentiful.  There are many places to stay and some great restaurants in the "City of Colleges".  

Hotels

We recommend staying just east of I-40 off of Oak Street.  There you'll find a Hampton Inn, Country Inn and Suites, Best Western, Hilton Garden Inn, and more.  There's plenty of restaurants and shopping within walking distance of these hotels.  They are also the closest hotels to campus.
