This place creeped me out like a scene from a horror flick. I was driving on 10 West and the dogs…read moreneeded a break. Out of no where I see a sign that just says rest area. I pull off expecting the parking area to be close by like all of the others. No, it's a long winding road that makes you feel like you are going in circles and getting lost. Then you arrive at the lower level where the big rigs park. I should have read Dave O's review before I parked down there. The dogs were desperate for a walk so we jumped out of the car. Thankfully I always lock my car. Thankfully it was day light too. Once up the hill, there are plenty of restrooms and picnic tables under pavilions. The grounds are well cared for and I enjoyed talking pictures of the trees. When I was leaving, a man in a black T-shirt and jeans came up on me out of no where. He asked for gas money to get to Houston, TX. He told me that he lost his apartment and was sleeping in his car with his dog. He was headed to his aunts but needed gas. I told him that I was traveling cashless and the only thing I could offer was for him to follow me to a gas station. He didn't take me up on the offer. After that I quickly put the window back up and took off. I stopped at the upper level to throw trash out and my intuition kept saying get out of there. I stopped what I was doing and took off.

This is not a rest area for those in a big hurry. It's a two way rest stop that serves both…read moreeastbound and westbound traffic. You could use it to turn around and go back the way you came if you wanted to. Because of this, it's a bit of a drive to get to it after you exit the interstate but others exaggerate how far. This rest area is meant to be enjoyed. Go past the facilities around the loop to the highest point, park and walk up past the picnic shelter for a view down to the Apalachicola River and off into the distance. There was more to see when it was first built and the trees hadn't grown up to block the view. There was a new opportunity after Hurricane Michael came through but that is now growing back to hide the scars and some of the view. After the leaves fall is probably the best time to get the view these days. The facilities are kept clean and there is lots of parking. If you want a good walk then park down with the large truck parking area and walk up. Otherwise, go past that parking area and loop around to parking closer to the facilities. There are a bunch of sheltered picnic tables on around the loop. When you leave it is clearly marked which way to go to continue east or west. It will be a bit of a drive back to the interstate but you will be refreshed and ready to drive some more.

Best of the options in the area and overall a good experience; however, I'm a hard sleeper and…read moredon't normally wake up to noises, but the walls were so thin I could hear everything happening in the hall or next door. Additionally though the staff was nice the communication was lacking. When I checked in they asked me if I wanted room service everyday. I said yes, however ended up having to go ask for it because no one came for three days at one point. I also asked for a late check out, marylin was so nice and put a note on my account to allow me a late check out. I stopped by the front desk on my morning of check out specifally asked if the note was still in there (give my lack of trust from the room cleaning incident) and was told it was. I said "oh good because I'm going to shower and just didn't want someone walking in" fast forward three hours, I'm finishing packing and freshly out of the shower and a house keeper, without knocking walks into my room. I told the front desk upon checking out and the gentleman did comp me $25. Last thing was one weekday morning breakfast wasn't put out at 6am. I think someone was late for work, but no sign was posted and the front desk was not very apologetic. Over all everyone was nice, it was clean, breakfast was good, laundry worked well. And when I had issues with my government credit card at the end of stay they were very patient.

Definitely a different Marriott than when I stayed last year. I go to my room I noticed a little…read moremildew around the toilet seat. I go back downstairs to move my car. The guy at the front desk ask me how was everything and I told him about the toilet. He was nice and helpful and moved me to another room.. I checked this room out .. on top of the toilet top it had some red residue on it.. I thought it probably was a stain .. but actually it was something that wasn't cleaned properly.. the bed "oh my" it had some overly washed out sheets on them ( needed to be discontinued)like something that would have been very uncomfortable and itchy to sleep on. I didn't even care to be moved again,I just ask the guy for some sheets and just waited for morning to come. I will say this the breakfast was good.. 3stars based on breakfast and front desk guy.
