Great travel stop for parents with babies!
The bathrooms are very clean and there are changing tables in BOTH the men’s and women’s bathrooms, and the one in the women’s bathroom is great because it’s like a dedicated built-in, rather than those pull downs that can break easily (picture included). There’s also a nice area with tables to sit and eat if you need a break and (more importantly!) sit down to feed your baby a bottle or breast on the road. The table area was also nice and clean and included tables with outlets for charging phones, laptops or whatever—so also a good option for those working and traveling if you need to stop and do a little business on your computer before getting back on the road.
They also had showers, so if you’re a trucker this stop might be nice for you as well if you need a shower!
There used to be an Arby’s at this location, but note that IT IS CLOSED DOWN, so no Arby’s, just so you know in case you see old pictures that have it. They also have a self-serve Dunkin Donuts station, which I’ve never seen but was kinda cool to make my own iced-coffee! But if you’re looking do a full service Dunkin, they don’t have it here.
We didn’t mind though about the Dunkin and Arby’s, we were more worried that it was a “good baby stop” with good changing facilities in the bathrooms and AN AREA TO SIT! (Which before becoming a parent, who knew that was going to be a must in the travel stop list. But Omgosh so nice for feeding the baby!)
Also the staff was very friendly and kind! ❤️
All in all, 5 stars for just the kind of rest stop we needed! 👍🙏

No restaurant, no food selections, parking is ok. Only about 2/3 showers, small restroom. Parking gets full early because its so small. Go to Casey's instead across the highway.
