    07.03.20 I-24 Welcome Center eastbound
    May A.

    I-24 Welcome Center Tiftonia/Hamilton County Nice welcome center where we stopped for a short bit to use the restrooms. The front & back doors are equipped with automatic openers and there are assistants on duty for information and directions with also a security on site. There are lots of FREE Tennessee Vacation Guide & Map as well as STATEWIDE brochures & coupons available. We grabbed a couple of brochures-- one each for Nashville and Memphis. I enjoyed looking at the Civil War Exhibit in the cabin area with cute and cozy rocking chairs and a fireplace... almost inviting guests to rest for a bit. The lobby has a weather monitor. Restrooms were clean with a baby changing station in the women's restroom. Recycle bins available. Pet friendly!! We didn't have a pet with us in our travels but there is a pet walking area. Also, enjoy drinks and snacks at the vending machines building. There are picnic tables, some covered. Lots of parking spaces! Gotta go! Happy travels! Review #1873

    Welcome to Tennessee

    I had no idea I left Tennessee heading from Nashville to Chattanooga but apparently I did.. This stop was a much needed rest stop for myself and my dog. The bathrooms were super clean...so what more could I need. Oh a great Instagram photo...check. They had a great welcome to Tennessee sign I was able to snap a selfie with my dog and I.

    I was surprised that they were near empty for any brochures for the Great Smokey Mountains. But I loaded up on the Chattanooga brochures- since that's where we were heading. Grabbed a TN state road map too. Bathrooms were clean, had some funky art out front and the worker inside made sure to greet every single person who came through the door. Amazingly- John missed that there is a little history lesson/display inside the room with all the brochures. Lucky for me- we would have been there much longer~ lol.

    This is the Tennessee Welcome Center along Interstate 24 East at mile marker 171, shortly after entering into Tennessee from Georgia. This welcome center is open 24 hours, but the hours for questions and such is from 8 am to 6 pm. Watch out though, the ramp to get into the welcome center can sneak up on you very quickly. Our visit was on August 4, 2018. We made a stop here at this welcome center on the way to the hotel for the evening just north of Chattanooga. We got here right at 6 pm, so the staff were closing the visitor information desk and such, but the restrooms and brochures are available 24 hours a day here. Although it wasn't busy at the time I was there, there wasn't a lot of parking, so I'm sure it could fill up pretty quickly. The main reason for the stop was to use the restroom. The restrooms were clean and well maintained. The facilities are nice and get the job done. Afterwards, I did a quick stroll around the outside to stretch a little bit before getting back on the road. There's some nice open space here. There are covered picnic tables and some art. Vending machines are located in the building marked vending next to the main welcome center building. Overall, this was a very nice welcome center in Tennessee. The restrooms are clean and well maintained, open space to walk around outside, good hospitality, and just a welcoming feel in general. If your travels take you this way, it is worth stopping in for a break, day or night.

    I am not going to give this rest stop a TN out of TN but it's not bad. It's a perfectly adequate rest area on your way East or North, which I've stopped at a number of times when I was traversing this part of the country. It's kept clean and there are not any facilities here other than bathrooms and some information.

    Clean restrooms

    Clean restrooms. Snack machines. Was safe in the day time when I stopped. Drink machines. Close to an exit if ladies need feminine hygiene products, I didn't see any in the womens restroom. Easy access on and off the interstate. Nice and safe place to take a cat nap.

    Clean restrooms, pleasant welcome center. Only room for maybe 5 trucks...Circular drive parking. They do not welcome overnight parking. Separate vending area..

    We just recently stopped here while driving back from Chicago and used this Tennessee Welcome Station (Rest Stop) off I-24. In comparison to the majority of rest stops throughout the United States, this is by far one of the nicest ones I have visited. The bathrooms here are clean, the facility is well managed and the outside has a very nice play area for children with a statue of a snake, turtle and various birds. If you are driving along I-24 and are looking for a nice rest stop in Chattanooga, this is a great place. [Review #175]

    This is one of the nicest rest stops I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. It seems very new, either beautiful Gaudi-esque mosaic benches, a welcoming interior fireplace and attended brochure/map areas. The bathrooms are also exceptionally clean. The only negative is the short on-ramp, you'll need to be quick getting back on the interstate.

    Classic! Queen of Country!

    See all

    Trash cans over flowing. Restrooms are randomly closed. Very disappointing for a rest area.

I really needed to stretch out and move around. Couldn't really rest well after two hours. I woke up because it was cold many times so I ran the engine a few times to warm up. And noticed the fog was starting to flurry. And it was on the edge of 31°. That was all the incentive I needed to get back on the road. I drove two more hours where it was off the mountain area and 40°, warmer to the south. The rest area was clean and I always try to use them even without the pit stop just to get out and stretch using the car curb for leg/calf stretches and get some water. 37/2024

Parked in the last space of the lot, I was able to open the window that faced the highway so it was a bit of privacy. Between that and the roof vent, a comfortable night at a high point. Comfy! Yes, this rest area allows overnight parking. Not camping, parking. You're here to rest and get some sleep before continuing onwards so do that. Other than a few trucks idling in the lot and a couple who seem to think it's fair to use their engine to break, it was a quiet night. In the morning, a stretch and a visit to the clean restroom and then onwards. Thanks, Grundy County and TDOT! [Review 20208 overall - 470 in Tennessee - 1185 of 2023.]

I checked out the desserts, brisket sandwiches and all of the beef jerky. I then went to the Buccees shot glasses. Of course, I took pictures of the Buccees truck along the way. The staff was friendly and able to help me find what I was looking for. My friends and I shopped and ate for two hours! Since there isn't a place to eat, we ate inside my friend's car. The bathrooms are clean with no wait time. I enjoyed looking at the artwork when I entered the bathroom. I noticed there were other products that looked like it belonged to a Hallmark store and fishing store. Buccees has whatever you need and more. The brisket was delicious and I loved the sauce. The sandwich was just enough for me. My friends and I had a fantastic time perusing Buccees and now I know why people are obsessed.

The number of fuel pumps they have is only matched by the number of always clean bathrooms. Need some good Texas BBQ? They have tasty brisket, sausage, and various other options. Lots of fountain drinks, icees, and coffee. If your looking for someone sweet the fudge and freshly made nuts are great to. Of course if you just need gas or to stop for a EV charge you should be able to get in and out pretty quick. Only complaint is they don't have more of them along the gulf coast! :)

It was a welcomed sight to see that a rest area was coming up. Pulling into here I could tell you that this was not going to be a normal rest stop. And I was not let down in that aspect. What I noticed most was that it was on a hill. However, it was somewhat flat once you got out of the parking lot. It is quite the busy rest stop and surprisingly clean on the inside. Especially the facility portion of the interior. This particular location has a outdoor pavilion of sorts that has multiple vending machines if you need a last minute drink or snack. Easy on and off of the Interstate.
