A Basic Rest Stop - No Frills…read more SITREP This was actually the least interesting of all the rest stops we hit on our I-15 North to I-90 West trek. THE SETUP Located in Borax, MT (god, I actually hope no one lives here), this no frills rest stop was just basically a "Sh*t & Go!" A profound diminishment of all the other rest stops we had hit coming north on I-15 through Southern California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and now Montana. For example, every rest stop we hit in Utah was amazingly clean, had all sorts of bulletin boards up, exhibits of points-of-interest to go to, lots of pamphlets to take with you, etc. This stop had diddly-squat. DIMINISHED STANDARDS It could be, though, that this was just the a changing of the standard since we were now switching over from I-15 North to I-90 West going into the panhandle of Idaho. Perhaps it was a "changing of the guard" and the I-90 maintenance infrastructure is no where near as nice as the I-15 infrastructure. (I just pulled that hypothesis outta my ass, but I'm gonna run with it.) ;) THE LOWDOWN Your basic, no frills, totally unexciting rest stop.

The bathrooms were a little cruddy, but totally up to my standards for things that I pee on…read more I was milling around near a big map of Montana, attempting to subtly stretch a little before getting back in the car, and this maintenance dude that was emptying the trash asked if I needed a map of Montana. He said he had one that he would give me. I politely declined, but thought to myself, "The people out here are so nice." Then I started getting creeped out about the whole thing. Do I really need to explain why friendly conversation with a dude at a rest stop creeps me out? Also, I think he might have seen my junk at the urinal earlier. Anyways, the dude is still kind of watching me, and then a big ass bee gets in my face. I tried backing away from it, but it just kept coming, and I ended up jogging to my car while swatting around in the air at it. It almost got in my car, but I peeled out a little and got the fuck back on I-90. If I were to do it all again, I'd pee in a Powerade bottle in my car.

We pulled in, my husband went in to inquire about pulling over for the evening. Typical rule of thumb is always to invest a little something in anyway business that approves a travelled to park. So, I went in and purchased some bison summer sausage. The owner told me how his father had started raising buffalo over 60yrs ago and now he continues. As the sun set, we were offered some of South Dakota's stunning array of colors.

Even so it was clean, comfortable and quiet. My second favorite about the room: water pressure! Yes, this hotel had water pressure that allowed you to actually feel like you were taking a shower. Don't fear using the soap as this water can actually clean the oily soap film from your skin. Most hotels I've stayed at recently cannot say that. I am normally a 3 star guy with this chain but I am using this one to a 4. Once they get the new decor and mattresses in place then I think this will be on of the more comfortable locations in the chain to stay at.

The staff is nice but that is where the good things end. We were in room 128 at the end of the…read morehallway and immediately were greeted by the smell of wet carpet and mildew. The carpet was damp when we walked in, and we had assumed it had been shampooed or something similar during the cleaning. The sheets were also damp, which we assumed was humidity. We woke up in the morning completely dampened from the sheets. The biggest issue was safety-related, as the ambient humidity in the room was so high that the tiles were slippery and we almost fell several times while packing up to leave. If it had been someone with less balance, it could have resulted in serious injuries. The breakfast was a pretty standard Wyndham breakfast, but the cereal dispenser was labeled with "Gluten-Free Cheerios" but instead had Froot Loops. For those unfamiliar with celiac disease, any cross contamination with gluten can cause permanent damage to someone's small intestine, including but not limited to intestinal cancer. Good thing I grew up knowing what Cheerios and Froot Loops looked like otherwise that could have been rough!

The clerk was friendly and easy to check us in. The room was spacious, and clean. The bed was a king size and very comfortable. The bathroom was clean. However, they shorted us a wash rag, not a big deal right? - The only thing I could say bad is the area outside when we arrived at 3am smelled like rotten eggs. However, I didn't notice it when I checked out this morning. I I thought maybe the water treatment plant was close to it or something. Idk? Not a deal breaker.
