Plenty of parking and there's one big building that has restrooms and stores. There's also a gas station here and I believe they have a seperate store as well. Plenty of options to eat though all fast food. There's also a store for drinks, snacks, smokes etc. Each fast food place is set to order and then they all share seating in the middle of the main floor. There's plenty of seating as well. The bathrooms were big and updated as well. Plenty of stalls and sinks. A very nice and modern rest stop.

Just be sure to beat the senior center tour bus into the restrooms. Like all these places, I just hold my breath and hope I don't run into one of America's Most Wanted working at Roy Rogers. Now if I can just get my feet unstuck.

Without fail, my bladder knows when the Thomas Edison Service Area is coming up…read more I'm usually going to someplace fun if I'm stopping in for coffee and/or a bathroom break at this service area. They keep the Thomas Edison Service Area clean and there is plenty of parking. I gas up my Chevy here, why are there no Tesla charging stations here?! Just a note, when I'm here I feel lucky and I always buy a Jersey Scratch off ticket.

Parking is pretty easy to find and navigate. Gas looked OK for cars, though I bet you the gas off Exit 1 is cheaper. But the truck line? Fuhgeddaboudit. Yeah, trucks, take an exit anywhere else. Only downside of my last visit? Welcome center was closed. Maybe it's the volume of visitors, but they didn't leave state highway maps out to grab, just a bunch of brochures. Small peeve. I was able otherwise to use the restroom (one was closed of the two, still not overcrowded) and refill my water bottle just fine. I've stopped here before as needed, and I'll stop here again.

Centrally located with access to many things to do around. Will aim for a higher floor next time.

Only 15 minutes from AC, great location for doing activities in and outside of AC. As much as we enjoyed our stay, the villa had few issues. They are deteriorating, as doors in our rooms would open with a push, even though they are locked, so no privacy. Bathroom door at the entrance wouldn't even close. There were spider in the curtains and some doors with broken knobs. I hope the hotel manages to keep up the quality of these villas as the years pass by.
