About Best Western Montgomery I-85 North
A Carmichael Road location near I-85 offers free hot breakfast, a seasonal outdoor pool, free parking, and easy access to Blount Cultural Park.
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Montgomery East I-85 occupies 5225 Carmichael Road, close to Interstate 85 and the commercial corridors of eastern Montgomery. Formerly known as Best Western Montgomery I-85 North, the property is now listed under the Country Inn & Suites brand. Its location is more practical than picturesque, with restaurants, other hotels, and major roads nearby, but it places Blount Cultural Park and several of Montgomery's cultural attractions within a short drive. The historic downtown district lies farther west, making a car the most useful way to explore the city.
The hotel has 90 guest rooms, with accommodation ranging from standard king and two-queen layouts to a larger king room and accessible options. Current room descriptions identify refrigerators, microwaves, televisions, work desks, and private bathrooms, while selected suite listings include a sofa bed or additional sitting space. The interiors follow a contemporary, practical style: light walls, dark-wood furnishings, patterned carpets, and straightforward bedding arrangements. There is room for a laptop, a suitcase, and the usual overnight routine without the property pretending to be a boutique design hotel.

Where You'll Be Staying
Explore Montgomery
The Carmichael Road area is a suburban hotel and commercial district near I-85. Restaurants, shopping areas, offices, and other accommodations occupy the surrounding streets, while Blount Cultural Park gives the neighborhood a substantial cultural destination nearby. The area is not designed for a full day of pedestrian sightseeing, although some restaurants and entertainment options are within walking distance.
The main advantage is the ability to reach several parts of Montgomery without staying in the downtown core. Blount Cultural Park is close, Auburn University at Montgomery is farther east, and the Capitol district is a drive to the west. Traffic and summer heat make driving a more practical choice for most visitors, particularly when combining several attractions in one day.
Nearby Attractions
Blount Cultural Park
Blount Cultural Park is a landscaped cultural district with walking paths, open grounds, and two of Montgomery's most important arts institutions. It offers a quieter alternative to the surrounding commercial roads and is approximately a mile from the hotel.
Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts
