Really nice place to stop for a break. Bathrooms are gigantic and super clean. There is someone there 24 hours. The employees are really nice. They have picnic benches if you want to relax for a bit. Don't forget to get your picture next to the Welcome to Sweet Home Alabama sign.

Lots of parking & picnicking

This is definitely a great place to stop if you need a potty break, to picnic or just give your legs some walking time. Restrooms were extremely cleaned with fresh flowers. Workers were very nice and welcoming.

Alabama State Rest Area - State Capitol.

Alabama State Rest Area

(1 review)

This rest area is located along Interstate 85 southbound between Opelika to the north and…read moreMontgomery to the south. This is near mile marker 44.5. One thing to note is that due to the ongoing pandemic, there are signs on all the doors to buildings that masks are required to be worn while inside. My visit here was on July 28, 2021. When coming into this rest area, cars will go to the right while trucks will stay to the left. Like any rest area, the main reasons for stopping in were to use the restrooms, as well as get out and stretch the legs after being on the road for quite a while. Coming into the restroom building, it wasn't too busy in there, but most were not wearing masks despite the signs on the doors. I had mine on at least. The restrooms were clean and maintained. Everything was in working order and no supplies had run out during this visit. They do have an attendant on duty during the day for questions and such, but you will need to ask for them as they will be in the back until someone asks for some help. This is likely due to the pandemic. After finishing in the restroom and getting cleaned up, I came back outside and checked out the grounds of the location. There is a sign just outside the restroom building that has information about the forests of Alabama and the Tuskegee National Forest, which this rest area is located in. I looked at and read the info there and it was definitely an interesting read. From there, I did some additional walking around and saw a nice big tree with pink flowers blooming on them. I went over by the vending area, but I had no intention on getting anything at this point. Overall, this was a very nice rest area. Everything was working as intended and had some nice views of the trees and info about the forests. If your travels take you this way, be sure to make a stop here since rest areas will be far and few between.

We stayed 4 nights in late October and overall it was good. But if you can, stay on the 5th floor…read moreand with queen beds. There is a nice lounge up there. They don't seem to have king sheets or mattress pads! We asked for some when we saw the strained set in our first room. We didn't want them to pop off and leave us sleeping on a public mattress. Gross! We were given a second set of queen-sized. So we asked to be moved to a double-queen room. A minor inconvenience. The breakfast is decent and the dining area is pleasant and uncrowded. There doesn't seem to be any heater keeping the food warm. Multiple times the eggs and sausages were cold = health hazard. Multiple times the food ran empty. I ate the grits but a friend from AZ said that they were old and watery. Coffee was cold outside of breakfast hours. The place was fairly clean but some of the towels did not smell good. There was some mildew in the shower. The pool looked gross to me but not others. There was no access to the outdoor seating area, and the chairs there were mildewed. Landscaping on-site was attractive. But around the hotel is the highway, an empty field, and a large fireworks store. There are NO restaurants nearby. The people at the front desk were accommodating but not especially friendly. 75% of the time, the front desk was empty. Check-in was slow. We had to ask for the Hilton Honors water and snack. The rooms are spacious and the shower water good, though slow to warm up. Our first room had a glass shower stall and few towels. The 5th floor room had a tub w shower curtain and ample towels. I don't know if that was intentional. Parking was good. We were told there is a laundry room on second floor but we did not use it.

My room (506) was clean and quite modern. I really liked having a hard floor instead of carpet…read more The bathroom was also clean. Finding the breakfast area was interesting, but totally understandable as they work to complete construction. If I were to nitpick, I'd mention the totally-floppy sink faucet. Not sure if I liked the many ladybugs on my ceiling or not, but it certainly added personality, and some people think they're good luck.
