Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base
Gunter Air Force Base
Montgomery, Alabama
As today is Memorial Day, it seemed fitting to post a pitstop for military families. If that applies to you, and you are driving I-65 in Montgomery, Gunter Air Force Base may be a good (and affordable) overnight option. Lucia at Dim Sum, Bagels, and Crawfish stopped over with her family recently: $46 for two bedrooms separated by a bathroom and fairly close to major interstates. We stopped at the commissary the next morning to stock up on gas and snacks for the road.
Distance off the interstate: 4.5 miles
Food Services: Check out the commissary (links are below).
Website: Both of these provide good contact information:
