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.

Yes way cooler!!

I-40 Rest Area westbound Madison County…read more Just a quick stop to use the restroom and stretch our legs... and while waiting for the hubby I made a few, quick observations. I noticed a few things at this rest area including a nicely manicured lawn with covered picnic tables (no BBQ grills), interpretive signs sharing a little history during the Civil War in TN, fully stocked vending machines were available, a sign by the parking spaces that said: Music Highway and names of Isaac Hayes, Tina Turner, Booker T and the MG's (I thought it was cool) and inside the facility were black&white framed pictures of them hung on the wall. Gotta go! Happy travels! Review #1874

Bathroom for the ladies was clean. ( no photos for privacy reasons.) Even the park itself was nice and I loved the plants. I could easily pit stop here and enjoy a small picnic while traveling. The building itself had very true southern style house. The entrances to the breezeway and entrance. As well as the wrap around that goes to the back door.

Definately choose a different Marriott, the tell of a good location is making right ehat goes wrong. Little things can always happen, bigger things less often. The other day I was at a marriott and my room key opened a door with people in it asleep. You'll notice there's no bad review about that place because management took care of everything quickly we were happy. Notice I am spending time to add pictures and make sure this review gets seen because you doubled down on not making it right when you misbehaved. And you were an absolute terror on the morning that I needed to get out on the road You caused a lot of delay and a lot of stress.And that's not what I want to stay at marriott for and I want everyone to know how much this location absolutely sucks compared to other marriots
