Simple enough with a sweeping entrance turn and parking spaces for about 40 cars and maybe 10 trucks, this is far enough back from the highway. I was here for about two hours, working on my laptop with decent coverage for my Google Fi hotspot. The rest area has the usual restrooms (clean), parking area, dog walking area and picnic tables. Minnesota is pretty flat here so it was easy to get back onto the highway to continue my journey. [Review 17160 overall - 75 in Minnesota - 677 of 2022.]

A Smith Trucking Inc. driver threw a bottle at, and hit, the side of my motorhome on I-26 West near…read moreAsheville, NC. Instead of calling the State Police, I tried to amicably resolve the matter with the company Safety Director, Jeff Bauer. All I requested was an apology from the driver and to have him pay to have my RV washed to get the liquids from said bottle off of the entire passenger side. Mr. Bauer downplayed the entire incident and said he knows the driver personally and that his behavior was "out of character" and that my story couldn't be corroborated. Yes, Mr. Bauer, that type of behavior is very out of character and your driver needs to be held accountable AND you failed to call my eye witness and ask them questions. Luckily, they also took pictures at the time of the incident that shows my RV next to his rig when his fit of road rage and aggressive driving happened on June 4th. I didn't ask for him to be fired nor did I ask for a lot of money. I simply asked for an amicable and reasonable resolution that was fair to everyone. Rest assured that if I threw a rock at his rig from the side of the road, I could've been charged criminally. If he was throwing something at my property, he was distracted from driving safely on the highway. I'll be sharing the pictures of your company driver flipping me the middle finger from the cab of his truck, with his two bandaged fingers in the air, along with your company name and your DOT #'s clearly visible. All of this because I was in the passing lane and couldn't get over at the moment he wanted to change lanes. I'm just thankful that no one was injured and that I didn't have any damage other than the sticky liquids on my paint. It's truck drivers like this idiot who gives good truck drivers a bad rap.

The whole place has some sort of Lewis and Clark vibe both inside and out, with large mural adoring the walls. besides the Pac-man artwork my favorite details would have to be the canoe like benches that were outside. There was a lot of thought put into this building including the stream like flowing tiles on the floor. Above the vending machines was another Pac-man mural painted on the wall. The vending machines had the normal assortment of classic snacks, nothing strange. The classic and modern made gave this a unique feel and look.

It is in Mankato (we wanted to stay the weekend of the bicycling Mankato River Ramble-everything else was full). It does offer a breakfast nook including a waffle maker. However, there was an odor in our room which was not pleasant. They do allow pets-so maybe a cat that had sprayed in the corner by the door? Pure conjecture on my behalf...but our friends stayed in another room that did not have that smell. I wanted to leave a day early (the odor was not relaxing) but since we had booked through a 3rd party vendor (Orbitz) we couldn't get our money back for the last night.

My daughter and booked online and stayed here last weekend (2night) for her 16/18U Softball State Tournemnt, which is 4 hrs away . Another mother and daughter on our team had a reservation there made by her husband for 2 nights as well. I met her in the parking lot when they showed up. She went to check in and realized she didn't have the right card. He wanted her husband to sign a form sent by email (fine). He also wanted a Pic of the front and back of his credit card and ID. (Why the credit card). Her husband refused and did not want to send a pic of his credit card. She finally told him to just change the reservation and put it in her name instead and pay for it. He did. The next morning before we had to go she realized he only put her down for 1 night. I told put her stuff in my room and we will figure it out. We got back from the tournament around 930pm and have to check out by 730am to be back to the fields. So I told them to stay in our room. The mom went and requested 2 towels for my room as we never got new towels while being there. He requested to talk to me. I walked down there. He stated to berate me telling me Im sneaking people in (we all walked threw the front door past him when we got back) I told him no I was not. I expressed he messed up and only put her down for 1 night when our tournament is Fri to Sun. They originally had 2 nights. Which left them with nowhere to go. We have a 2 queen bed which occupies 4 people and together thats 4 people. This went on for 20 min. How I messed up and cant have people with us. We only reserved the room for 2 people. He pulled out his phone was showing me screenshots of me walking up on stairwell while the 2 teens and mom walked the other way. (I told the them one way was quicker and they didn't believe me.) He told me I was lieing, and sneaking them in, thats why we walked up 2 diff ways. I tried to explain and he kept saying I was lieing. He showed me other screenshots of other guests, falling in the pool area. From a month ago. Moral of all this. He berated me for 20 min. I apologized atleast 20 times, I repeatedly asked what he wants me to do. I also asked 2 times do you want us to leave. The 2nd time he said if you want to. I told him no. We hot, tired, need to shower and go to bed to check out at 730 to go to the girls state tournament. He had me in tears, He then finally gave me 2 towels. There were also 4 people sitting in the lobby at this time as well. 10 min later I had to go outside and passed him in the hallway, 10 min later I came back in, I seen him at someone's door 4 down from us, yelling at another guest. This man is unhinged, watches and takes pictures of people from his cameras. We have traveled for years for softball, never encountered anything like this and will NEVER EVER GO HERE AGAIN. I would rather stay in my truck. BEWARE. LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS

While it was easy to get a reservation and the staff was friendly enough upon check in, we were in for an unpleasant surprise. The room smelled like urine to the point of making one ill.

As we walked to our vehicle in the morning, another departing guest asked us if our room stank. It wasn't just us! We only got through the night by opening the window as far as we could.
