I was in ART last night, stayed at the Days Inn. I called the day before for the free shuttle and they were waiting for me when the plane arrived and took me back the next day. The hotel seems a little pricy for the area ($79 after taxes), but is probably cheaper than a car rental and a less expensive hotel.
The hotel was perfecly fine and had a Dennys attached in case you didn't get enough fried food at the airport.
