The fate of the Z Motel, on Interstate 3o in Little Rock, ended with excitement. What was once a relatively unobtrusive little motel between Little Rock and Alexander became the site of a three hour standoff. It is currently empty, gutted, with the remains of a few old mattresses, toilets, and debris. 
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Police say a man who had barricaded himself in a Little Rock motel is in custody after an approximate 3-hour standoff.
Police confirm Foster has several outstanding warrants against him.
Foster will be transported to the Pulaski County jail where he will be held without bond. Police have not specified what new charges will be filed against him.
Police tell Channel 7 News when they arrived at the motel, they located the stolen vehicle and the suspect’s girlfriend, who told police the man had at least one gun and had a pattern of violence with law enforcement.

Was a Resident of Z Motel when I was a Contractor for Windstream… For its simplicity, it was well kept, manger was understanding, laid back. Yes you had bad folks that came through did things. But, it was in their privacy of their rooms. Made some life long friends and memories of that out of the place hotel.
I stayed a night or two with an ex-boyfriend aunt and uncle back in 2007 and I ended up with a boil on my knee and it ended up being lanced and I now have big scar and also ended up with bedbug bites
I think this would be a good filming place
unfortunately they are in the process of demolition of the Z Motel.
What a beautiful motel. A great representation of southwest Little Rock.
I have this vague memory. Was it used for refugees after Hurricane Katrina?
yes
