The restrooms were clean, and there were also vending machines available for snacks and drinks, which was convenient. Overall, it's a well-maintained and pleasant stop that makes travel along I-85 more enjoyable.

It was probably the cleanest public bathroom I've ever seen. It seemed to have been cleaned right before we got there because the smell of cleaning supplies was out the door! No paper towels to dry our hands but there was an electrical dryer. There is a changing table also that is similar to the ones you find at airports (not the hanging plastic one). Outside, there are multiple vending machines as well as tables and benches to eat on. The whole area is very well kept. The organization that is managing this area is doing such a great job!
