Travelling to Arkansas, Stop here first !!…read more On the way into Arkansas, across the river from Memphis TN, is the city of West Memphis. Just off the highway into Arkansas, off I-55 you will find the West Memphis Welcome Center. This center is staffed with friendly, knowledgable folks who are more than happy to guide you, set you up with travel info or just chat. This welcome center has all kinds of printed media to further enhance your Arkansas experience. This Welcome center also has restrooms, vending machines and seating outside for picnics or just to enjoy the weather. it is always once of my stops when I'm back in good 'ole Arkansas.

Today is welcome center day as per my daughter. We visited 4…read morewelcome centers today in 3 states, so fun. Yes we had time to kill... And I wanted to add more states to my list of visiting places. Quality/Quantity - Welcome center number 1. So why is this welcome center named West Memphis rather than Arkansas...? Good size, beautiful location. Amazing amount of information, good thing we also have Google and Trip Advisor, lol. Atmosphere - Welcome center hours - Open 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm; Yelp's hours differs slightly. Restrooms open 24 hours. Clean bathrooms. Service - Okay, not as welcoming as the other 3 welcome centers we visited. And all 3 other centers gave us welcome gifts! First experience as we have never gotten gifts before, now we know to ask. Price - Free, thank you! Owner Comment - Thank you Arkansas since 1836 for this beautiful welcome center.

This is a really great rest station to visit, especially during the holidays. Clean bathrooms…read more Treats. On our last visit, the main area was closed...I don't know if that was a one-off or because it was Sunday. I would hope Arkansas would realize that people do have to travel on Sundays and there are hopefully people who would gladly work on that day.

I think it was the really low/short stall walls and doors. Didn't feel very private and with wide open doors it seemed a bit vulnerable. A security shack with a guard and cart were up front and there was a button inside to press for security. That said, the abundant awareness of the security made me feel a little less safe in ways. I felt it was unusual for a rest stop and just like it probably was really needed if it was that present. So, glad security is there but I'd surely not go there after dark or take my eyes off my children for even a second.

Quality/Quantity - What a great way to end our Welcome Center Tour!…read moreAgain, the team here was so welcoming. From the minute we walked in to us hanging out and cracking jokes. Wealth of information, especially on whiskey and wine trails, see pictures. Yeah, I did NOT expect to drink so much in Nashville... Atmosphere - Good size location. Clean large restrooms. Service - 5 stars, again so welcoming. And they even went out of their way to give us a "goody" bag. We got guitar picks! Not sure if you can see them in my picture, see in my photo. My daughter also plays the guitar. Price - Free. Owner Comment - Thank you again TN for such a great welcome to your State. We had such a great time here! And I am going to recommend you to all our friends.

This particular rest area also has a dog park along with the usual amenities, so that is a nice touch. If you want a pleasant enough rest stop, I would definitely recommend here.

Your security guy following me into the bathroom yelling "sir" because he assumed I'm a man is…read morequite funny and also stupid. Just fucking let people go to the bathroom (you know, with stalls) and stop assuming someone's genitals by how their hair looks. Sorry, I wasn't blessed with big titties unfortunately. But, like, people like me have been looking for women's and men's restroom signs for decades now. I know which one is which. Seriously, being so concerned where someone goes pee or poop is just so weird.

This is officially the Madison County I-40 West Rest area & has a Yelp page accordingly but I saw…read morethis one & liked it a lot better! It is on the official "Music Highway" which is the stretch of highway between Memphis AND is on the Rufus Thomas Walking the Dog Trail, gotta love it!! This I-40 West Rest Area is located just outside Jackson, TN. This rest area has alot to offer while traveling. It offers: restrooms, parking, picnic tables, telephones, and pet exercise areas. It's clean, neatly landscaped and has easy access with clear markings with lots of parking for cars and trucks alike Bottom line: Having been a life long music but, a radio guy and a 20+ year Me Memphis resident this i-40 rest area gets my vote for coolest named stop in the world because it's THE Isaac Hayes, Tina Turner, Booker T. and the Mg's Rest Stop! Yes way cooler!!

I have been so impressed with the rest stops during my road trip. When I began the road trip I…read morethought the rest stop areas were going to be awful and they have been just the opposite. This is another beautiful rest stop dedicated to Isaac Hayes, Tina Turner, and The MG's which is now on Yelp. Clean restrooms, maps, pictures and covered and uncovered picnic areas. The landscaping is well maintained, no pets allowed in the picnic area, vending and snack machines. Next, time you are traveling the I-40W Jackson, TN stop off at the mile marker 73 and rest. Welcome to Yelp.

VERY DISAPPOINTING STAY. Stayed here 3 nights over 2026 Memorial Day weekend and it was the most…read moredisappointing stay we've had at a Hilton property. This is a recently renovated hotel (following an extensive fire a couple of years ago), but we didn't expect; 1) The rooms we selected online the day before to not be the rooms the desk clerk put us in; 2) Only ONE working elevator for the entire 4-day stay; 3) A closed swimming pool (on Memorial Day?); 4) A shower that leaked out onto the bathroom floor regardless of the position of the shower doors; 5) Full trash cans in the 2nd floor elevator lobby for much of the weekend; 6) An unresponsive (and then vacant) front desk when we called for additional toilet paper; 7) Loose wall toilet paper holders in both of our rooms and 8) One of the two automatic lobby doors to crap out on Saturday night. Seriously, quality control on the renovation was apparently lax. This was a holiday weekend and the property management was ill-prepared to provide the Hilton experience we are accustomed to. We won't return to this property, and know first-hand that things are much better (and a little less expensive) across town at the new Home 2 Suites property a block away. This review was also provided to Hilton via their after-stay survey. I've gotten no response from them-- I presume that they handed it over to the property managers, who then chose to ignore a dissatisfied customer.
