There is a pet area here too. This was a quick break for the restroom and then heading onwards. For those who are thinking about staying longer in an RV, the Thruway service plazas have a four hour limit. [Review 1533 of 2024 - 449 in New York - 22556 overall]

    This is in Port Byron. Which is funny because my friend Ron was the first person ever to give me a…read moreglass of Port wine, back when I was a kid. So I guess you could say I was introduced to Port by Ron. The problem with the service plazas along the Thruway is the same as it ever was, if you'll forgive me for paraphrasing the Talking Heads, or directly quoting them I should say. The problem is that they are very stingy and penny-pinching, so all the chain stores here charge more than their regular franchise menus. Add to that a set of generally very disgruntled employees, and that the gas here is $20.30 more than it should be. I find this kind of thing pretty appalling to be honest. And don't nap for too long at this relatively safe rest area. If you do, when you get off the highway they may give you a hard time and claim you're scamming them. My previous review said.. What I really don't like about these travel plazas are the prices and the really annoying selection of chain type eats and drinks. It's so corporate and it just drives me crazy. The gas prices are anywhere from 10 cents to $0.30 more expensive than off the highway. The single solitary reason that they do not get one star for me is that it's so convenient. So many rest stops make you twist and turn and zig zag and spend a couple of minutes driving to the rest site. Or cross the highway or even walk to an island in the middle of the road. Looking at you Angola. But anyway - this remains the only travel plaza owned by Lord Byron himself. I can prove it. And I will do so. Exactly 10 years from tonight. Give or take.

    This was a nice stop on my travels. I needed to get out and stretch my legs as well as use the…read morefacilities. This rest stop is divided in a way. Regular vehicles park to the left when you pull off the highway and big rigs park to the right. Plenty of space to walk about if you needed to and plenty of space to take a seat. Inside it was well maintained. Facilities were clean and in order. I putzed around outside for a while and walked the grounds. They were mowing grass the day I was here so you kind of had to keep moving to not be in their way. Things to note, aside from table/picnic area, there is a pet area available. But the pet areas don't seem to be maintained as well as the rest of the area, disposal bags were missing even though there was a place for them. Police station is on premise.

    I have to say, if you're going to revolutionize the toilet, you may want to put a sign up? It was a…read moregood conversation started for me and some strangers. But still. You as a state know it was unusual. You also left the flush buttons that don't work, so the whole thing feels like you're committing some bathroom faux pas. Plus the cost this bathroom revolution cost vs. how much water it saves...seems like it will take some time to recoup those tax dollars. But this random stop on the lonely highway makes for an experience all right. I don't need bathrooms to be experiences though. It was clean and there were some sort of foamy waterless toilets, but it did feel like I was in the middle of an experiment.
