Monroe Regional Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Monroe Regional is a small airport, just three miles from downtown: the choice between the airport area and downtown matters more for the type of stay than for the distance, always under ten minutes by car. Travelers on a work trip or with an early flight find it convenient to stay near the terminal, with the Pecanland Mall shopping center a few minutes away. Those staying for Louisiana Monroe University or the Civic Center prefer a more central hotel, along Martin Luther King Jr Drive. The choice here is limited: few hotels really cover each area well.
