    No pets allowed in picnic area
    Jen W.

    Lovely grounds with metal mesh picnic tables on concrete slabs in the grass, shaded by lots of mature trees. Designated pet area at beginning of parking area has one picnic table in the shade (2pm in July) and no waste bags. No walking path around building. Grass is 'buggy' in July, fyi. Grass area backs up to corn fields. Plenty of parking for most types of vehicles. Saw a class-A RV towing a car parked with the semi's so there's room. Plenty of trash bins line the parking areas and recycling bins are near the building. Doors to building and restrooms have handicap auto open push buttons by each door. Restrooms are a bit older and clean-ish. No hooks in stall - they were removed. Probably to keep your belongings safe from a 'grab and run'. Leave your bag in your vehicle. Toilets are low, so good for kids. No tourist brochures in the building. A separate small enclosure, close to the bathroom building, houses several vending machines with both beverages and snacks.

    when nature calls you can answer here without too much fuss or bother. westbound is a modern rest area with a modest structure in a large lawn sporting about two dozen spots each for cars and trucks it's everything a person would expect from central Iowa but fewer corns and soy beans but you can see them from here.

    Recently came here to grab some gas and food while on my way back to the Chicago area. This place…read moreis located conveniently off the highway and easiest if you're continuing eastbound. Plenty of gas pumps and some of the best prices as well. Store was clean, well maintained. Their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are the best go too snacks they have. Well inventoried and so many options to choose from. Great place to stop at.

    well I came in after sleeping here for about 5 hours nice beautiful Iowa late summer day not super…read morehot but warm.. walked inside to use it in the bathroom was a pigsty.. the good news I let the manager now he rolled his eyes and said kids which is pretty much what was working other than him but he got them paged and I also let him know the coffee pots were flashing mean the coffee was all he's like seriously I'm like yep... So he dispatched one kid to clean the toilets and he took care of coffee promptly while he took care of the coffee made everything fresh I'll patch drain rinsed properly done coffee's good I'm sippin it now as I type out this updated review...one thing this one has going for it and it's deli QuikTrip has changed a little bit of their pizza because this one is fantastic you could see the difference I mentioned down in Georgia that changes with the grilled cheese fresh when you order it while the pizzas got in the whole hell of a lot better too I had a slice of pepperoni it was fantastic surprise the hell out of me... this is one of the old QuikTrip sell back when the Tulsa Oklahoma chain began expanding..building a monster Cold storage distribution Center just south of Kansas City near Belton but this is one of the first Travel centers when they began to really expand.. which one brings back a lot of memories it's one of my old trash and grounds cuz I used to be with a company out of Des Moines Iowa this was like a second home back in the smoke and days it was like a homeless shelter at times too LOL you coming to the driver's room and there will be a TV at the time and cable box and people smoking like chimneys myself included but this is one of the first QuikTrip Travel centers and it shows at the age I don't think they're going to tear down the building soon because it's so jam-packed and it does the volume but for what they have they do a good job so I'm not backing a star because the bathroom was promptly clean the coffee was immediately taken care of once notated so keep up the good work..

    Nice, clean rest stop! The restrooms were well maintained, everything felt sanitary, and the…read moreoverall area was tidy. Definitely a good place to stop, stretch your legs, and take a quick break while traveling.

    I didn't think I'd ever be reviewing a rest stop, but this has to be the cleanest one I have ever…read morestopped at. The whole building is almost like an atrium with lots of wood and windows, letting tons of natural light in. The floor is all tile with inlays of maps and highways in Iowa. I thought that was super neat when they just could have slapped down normal plain tiles. There's also a lot of greenery outside of the rest stop that's well maintained too, with benches for resting out in nature if you prefer that. Outside there are also a few pieces of public art that show scenes from the history of transportation as far as I could ascertain (a steam locomotive, a horse drawn carriage, a steam ship). The Skunk River trail is right outside the rest stop if you need to stretch your legs for a bit, and there's a designated pet relief area as well. One last thing I'll note that I found amazing: There are signs in the bathroom stalls that give information about human trafficking and ways to get help. If you weren't aware, a lot of trafficking happens along the interstate lines, so this is super important to have. I know you'll only be at this rest stop if you're passing by and need to stop, but I thought it deserved a review because of how clean it's kept, how well the grounds are maintained, and the brightness and warmth of the building!
