Large restroom building in the middle of the property with entrances at the side of the building. A wide pathway is wheelchair accessible from the far end of the parking lot. Several picnic tables are accessible from the pathway around the building. One vending machine is available at the near end of the lot. A good stop to empty your bladder and stretch your legs. If you have food, nice picnic spot. No other services available at this rest area. Parking for vehicles large (RV, trailers, OTR) and small (Vans, cars, etc.).

Nice, clean, non-busy rest stop before you get on I-82. There is a specific area for pets so you…read morecan let your animals stretch their legs or go to the bathroom. There is also an RV dump. The restrooms are very clean and even have heaters that turn on for the chillier nights so you don't walk into a super cold bathroom. There are a lot of nearby fast food restaurants, payphones, and name brand coffee shops. There's even a gelato/sorbeto shop nearby which I think I might check it out the next time I'm around. Oh! They have video surveillance of the area and also civilian patrol so you shouldn't have to worry about getting mugged or anything. But of course, use common sense. And I didn't forget the truckers. This is also a truck stop.

Stayed here with our pup on a road trip. Actually, we were pretty impressed with the room. Spacious…read moreand clean. The mattress probably should have been replaced already, but it wasn't too uncomfortable. The water in the shower was kind of "slimy," and smelled a bit like sulfur. That really would be my only complaint. There was ample room for the dogs to use the restroom and get some exercise. The hotel is located next to some fast food options you can walk to. The complimentary breakfast was really good. They have potatoes, eggs, sausages, biscuits and gravy, all the other items you would expect. Plus an omelette bar. You write down what you want and it is made to order. We both felt like it was a good breakfast as far as hotel breakfast are concerned. Overall, we would recommend this place. The staff was super friendly.

It was a long drive from the big city, but the hotel was easy to find and we were greeted with a friendly smile and got all checked in. While the lobby of the hotel is fairly well decorated and updated, the rooms and hallways looked like something out of a bad 80s (or 90s?) movie? The orange and brown carpeting had almost psychedelic effects (especially after a few glasses of wine). And the room, while large and boasting essential like a microwave, fridge, and coffeemaker, was extremely dated. Everything was clean and comfortable, though, and it seems they've kept things in surprisingly good shape maintenance-wise. The thing that made the BW stand out most was the friendly staff. From the front desk to the housekeeping staff to the very kind ladies who staffed the breakfast area it was all top notch, and it's what would make me return here if I go on another wine trip. Speaking of breakfast, this place has one of the best free breakfasts I've every seen - including not only the usual waffle stand, oatmeal, and baked goods, but a full-service omelette bar and huge selection of dairy-free milk alternatives too. Well done, BW, well done!

I definitely feel whomever has to maintain this rest stop should get hazard pay if they don't already. Being in the off-season, I could see how the grounds weren't manicured and the picnic table area was overgrown. There were a few semi trucks in the lot, and a few cars came through to use the facilities when we were there so it seems busy enough. The view seems like it would be breathtaking on a clear day. Glad we were there during daylight hours, travelers beware at night!

I had read up on the Hanford Reach National Monument in advance and knew there weren't facilities on site so I needed to find an alternative. As I was about to reach the national monument I found this rest area. The rest area is clearly marked along the highway heading north/eastbound so I knew it was coming up and it was easy to spot and turn in from Highway 24. There is a designated pet area that I explored and found has an excellent view of a rocky landscape in the distance. A handful of different birds were poking around on the ground and flitting about tree-to-tree as I explored the pet area and the grassy area. The grassy area around the restroom building is large and a great place to roam around. Abundant picnic tables sprinkle the lawn. Restrooms were clean and safety measures for COVID-19 were communicated in posted notices. Vernita Bridge which crosses the Columbia River is also visible from the rest area. Its yellow metal arches/frame beckoning to get closer and scope the bridge out.

Women's and men's bathrooms both very clean…read more Stalls well-stocked with 4 tissue rolls attached in each stall. Also have toilet covers. Water fixture is one where you push down and it times out after x seconds. Like any of those in any location, the water never runs long enough for you to do a thorough lather and then wash off your hands. So you have to touch it again to finish hand washing which I don't like. So then, I use my elbow or sanitizer after. Blow dryer instead of hand towels. Easy to get into rest stop and out. If they had drink vending machines like most do, it wasn't obvious but I didn't go around the back or sides to see. A very small amount of grass. Enough for your dog or small child to run around and get energy out. Feels safe during day. Can't remember lighting outside at night, but remember being glad my husband was there.

Ive been going here for years, quality is up and down…read more They pay pennies so majority of employees there reflect that low quality especially with how far it is from the nearest town. Most of the employees are crackheads. How good the carls junior is completely depends on who is there. The gangster wanna be kid thats always playing rap has a good attitude but hes very slow and the fries are always stale if he is there. The loud Mexican manager lady is super annoying fries always stale. Extremely common for the Carl's to only have ONE employee on there running like a chicken with their head cut off. You can commonly expect to wait 30 mins to no fault of theirs. Maybe if they actually paid people they could hold an employee for more than a week. Dont even think of going to the truck shop I wouldnt trust them to air up a tire. The coffee for the last year has turned into a bio weapon, I opened each machine today and they are ALL full of mold. My main gripes are with the higher ups here and the surrounding area. Boardman is a town of nothing but degenerates. They would have to pay enough for people to want to drive out there and pay enough that they can root out all the degenerates. They have had many great employees over time but they never stay because they dont get paid enough.
