Good timing today. Not sure if TMI, but coffee is rented short term. Was pleased to see this, on the way home. The Commonwealth of Virginia did good with this rest stop. Quite a few of them are dilapidated, and also have some unique characters. While that can be entertaining, I just want to use the facilities, and get a soda. This is perfect for that. Those that know I64, understand that you might want to step on it. There's some unique driving moments. These can tire anyone out. This stop is good, due to its location. Best guess is it's halfway between Hampton and Richmond. It's clean, easy to find a parking spot at, and has guides of local attractions.

We swung by on our way home to stretch our legs and prevent our dogs from getting further car sick. The rest stop had two shaded walking paths with benches and BBQ grills. It provided dog waste receptacles but either with no bags available, or the wrong kind of bags loaded. The bathroom inside was clean and not crowded. It'd benefit from having the hand washing station repaired. The water wasn't flowing out well. Although some aspects of the facilities needed maintenance work completed, it's certainly not the worst I've been. It's one of the only rest stops available right before 295/95/64 junctions so it's worth bookmarking for the future.

Lots of parking spaces. Clean bathrooms. Automatic sinks and soap with automatic dryers. There are plenty of picnic tables for picnics and grass areas for pets.

Nice clean rest top which is always a plus when traveling. Conveniently off the highway with plenty of parking for cars and trucks alike. The inside is well lit and has a host of pamphlets and info on things to do and see along your travels. Food options are a few vending machines. Feeling lucky? You can play the lottery here too! There are picnic tables outside and dogie bags in the common area for those who need to walk their four legged friends. I did notice this stop has charging stations for vehicles which were not present the last time I stopped here. Overall, well kept and well lit so you feel safe stopping here. Plus if you are looking for a photo opp with the LOVE sign, this is your stop!

Clean and great dog walking area! Bathrooms are busy but nice! Lots of shade. Easy on and off. Next rest area 40 miles away! Go place to rest and eat lunch if you brought it! Lindy and Marley IG: #Tinyvanbiglife

You are here. Welcome to New Kent County.

Nice building that is easy with great access ramps off and back onto the Interstate. Not much for services - clean bathrooms and vending machines - but if you're looking for a quiet place to get a stretch then you won't do better than this. Especially after two hours of slow two lane traffic up from Norfolk. Yuck. How do I write a review of I-64?

Nice option

Why would I review an interstate rest area? Because this one deserves a mention! The one is more than a bathroom break - It is designed to benefit the travelers that are heading towards the Williamsburg & Hampton Roads areas of VA. I was impressed that they had several large screens with current road conditions. The restrooms have been designed with water saving fixtures. Thought everything was clean and without a public restroom odor. The vending area was neat and clean. Lots of hotel and travel information and discounts were available. Nice touches included a recharge station for laptops and phones, and large letters spelling out LOVE (part of the infamous Virginia is for lovers ad campaign) that guests can be photographed with.

You'll hit this rest stop right before the split that goes to Richmond or I-95 if you're going further. It's clean, well-maintained, well-lit, with nice landscaping. There are vending machines inside and also a lotto machine (scratchers & tickets), I tried my luck & just won $2! It's a great place to walk around, relieve yourself, rest your eyes for a few, get some drinks and snacks, and play the lotto! Woohoo!

This is a really good rest stop on the westbound side of interstate 64 just east of Richmond. It's a convenient on off of the highway, and features plenty of parking for trucks and cars. The restrooms are clean and bright.

This is a Great Rest Area. It's clean. It's a quick in and quick. It has Electric Recharging for the Eco Friendly Vehicles. Don't bother with machines.

This place is fairly stocked with vending machines and restrooms are ample and clean.

9/4/20 On the way to the beach or on the way back home, this…read morerest stop is one of many we went to.   The rest stops have gotten cleaner than they have in the past. This statement is up for debate based on one's own experiences, but from what I remember,  sitting on the toilets wasn't a thing you wanted to do. In my case the bathroom  was nearly spotless.  There was still urine on the floor by some urinals,  but a morjority for the urinals were good. Why, because of the target mats in the urinals. As a male we pride ourselves hitting targets at a great distance,  but can't seem to hot a target a few inches in front of us....unless some of us are deliberately aiming for the floor. Anyhow, these floor mats are designed for three reasons I can think of. 1. Odor Protection and Order Control:   The smell of "Urine may smell like ammonia when it becomes concentrated with waste products. A variety of conditions can cause waste products to build up in urine, such as bladder stones, dehydration, and urinary tract infections. In most cases, urine that smells like ammonia can be treated with fluids or antibiotic medications. "https://www.healthline.com/health/urine-smells-like-ammonia#bottom-line The protection part is so your nose and tastebuds are not highly offended by the obnoxious/horrid  stink urine can provide a wide open space or in the narrow corridors of a bathroom. 2. Targeting: Since the janitor/cleaner of the bath area has experienced the small to large amounts of urine on the ground, these newer models of splash guard mats have worked wonders.  The holes in these mats act as targets so males will know where to aim. Granted there were the sides of the inner walls to the urinals to aim for, but there is a problem with that.  I will get to that later on.  With these mats in place, the smell if urine can't not offend the nose or tastebuds of the person draining the lizard...unless the mats need to be replaced.   Indeed these targets will block pee from firing back at the shooter...how you ask?...well this leads to number #3 3. Splash Guard Protection: This is the most important aspect of the piss on mats. The target holes and little plastic bristles act as splash guards and stop the pee from splashing back on one's own privates, but most importantly one's own pants.  That's right, little microscope droplets of pee flying back onto your pants...but what it gets worse.  If you don't have these splash guards, the pee droplets can be bigger. The term "you can't take it with" does not apply if you do not have a splash guard mat.  Not even aiming for the insides of the walls will keep you 100% safe.  Don't aim for the wall in front of you unless there is a slash guard mat there. Otherwise you get the tiny golden rain drops backatcha and comingatcha.  So if your going for the wiggle, shaking and dancing, the last few drops are going to stay/stain your pants, unless you grab a tissue ( or paper towel) say bless you. The toilet  area was clean from what I saw. No worries about what Eddie Kaye Thomas aka Shitbreak had to go through.   The lobby area was immaculately clean and most people were in and out of that place, but all were wearing masks because of The Coronavirus Outbreak.    The snake machine was fully stock, but we did not get any food from the machine this time. Mainly, because the food was not what my wife wanted. Upon leaving this rest stop, I remember how I use to take my dog out here so she could handle her business and stretch her legs. She was the family's dog, but some how became my dog. She made the trip to Geneva Switzerland,  but never made it back to the United States.  I still miss my Lady Fox.   Anyhow, there are two other stops I normally would make and they are Waffle Houses, but our last experience with them was good and bad.     Still this rest stop served its purpose even though the customer service section was closed. We will return at some point. Whenever that is.
