    I-77 Rocky Gap Rest Area, Bastian
    Bruce K.

    A morning of driving and such, it was time to take a break and this rest area fit the bill perfectly. Easy to access and find a parking space in a bit of shade for a quick nap. After that, a visit to the (clean) restrooms and we walked around a little bit before continuing on towards West Virginia. [Review 532 of 2025 - 1472 in Virginia - 24093 overall]

    The Rest stops are beautiful and maintained well. I wish the rest stops in the rest of the country, were just the same. The women's restroom was clean and orderly.

    Really nice rest area with great family restrooms (with toddler size toilets), lots of walking space and areas for pups. Plus plenty of vending and picnic tables.

    One of the nicest rest areas ever. So clean and big. The building sits far enough away from the parking lot, plenty of room for picnics and walls to get stretch on the road. There is plenty of parking available. This is one of those places where you feel safe to pull over and rest for a little while. The parking areas are well lit, with not only light on the parking areas but the paths to the building as well. The picnic areas are covered under shelters so you can avoid the sun/light rain as necessary. It has the normal vending machines that seem to be well stocked and taken care of. Enjoy a nice break on I-77.

    This is worth the trip

    Huge expanse on the way north with ample room for cars and trucks and acres of land for pets and children to run (please clean up after your charges.) Parking is generous with an abundance of accessible spots around the second sidewalk - the one without stairs. The structures are solid and well kept. Picnic tables fill the landscape so you can stretch your legs before supping. The actual facilities are pretty slick and updated; self watering everything and hot air drying when you need it (but you still have to do your own paperwork.)

    We stopped at this rest area on the way to Cleveland, Ohio. It was clean and a nice place to take a break. Inside was a lobby type area with seating and brochures to take with you. The lobby and bathrooms were well lit. The parking lot could have used more lights, but it was one of the nicest rest areas we stopped at.

    It was good !

    I-81 Service Center - The blown tire while awaiting road service.

    I-81 Service Center

    The plaza shop and restrooms are always perfect. My wife and I bought a house in SC and are in the…read moreprocess of moving from NY to SC. On my last trip down, towing a very fully loaded trailer behind my RAM Rebel 1500 pickup, At about 12 midnight, I had a trailer tire blow out just after gettin on I-77 from I-81. I called the I-81 travel plaza for roadside assistance. The mechanic on duty was Don. He arrived at my location a couple hours later as he was out on another service call when I called. He brought a new trailer tire, made sure my damaged rim was good after getting the blown tire off. It took him a while, but he got me back on the road and I arrived at my destination in SC safely. The service was GREAT, Don was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. If I had to find a negative something to comment on, it would be charging me $125 for a $76 tire, and $293 for the service. It is what it is and they know they have you by the short curly hairs in your nether region, so they really over charge you. Also, they do not take credit cards or checks, so they will follow you to the next exit and wait for you at the ATM. It can really be expected. I'm sure they've been screwed out of payment by so E people so they make sure you're not gonna beat them out of their due, even if it is exorbitant. Lesson learned: don't hit the road without a good spare and the proper tools. Would I recommend them? In a pinch, ABSOLUTELY. Don was awesome and very diligent about all his work. Thank you I-81 travel plaza and THANK YOU Don M.

    They will rob you blind. I had a double blow out. called and the service guys that came out were…read moregreat. after all was said and done, they sent me a work order to sign. nothing on it. couldn't even open the invoice. then they sent the bill. they charged $3400 to change 2 tires. I've been in this business a long time and they tried to tell me I had a special tire. mind you I've been buying these 245/70/17.5 for low deck trailers for years. never paid $850 per tire. Stay away from these crooks. I was also told they gotta pay for all them expensive toys they keep buying. Crooks.

    We stopped at the Tennessee Welcome Center on our way back home after a long road trip, and this…read morewas a great place to take a break. After spending so much time in the car, it was nice to get out, stretch our legs, use the restroom, and officially feel like we were getting closer to home. The entire welcome center was very clean and well maintained. The restrooms were especially clean, which is always one of the most important things I look for at a rest stop. Everything looked like it was being taken care of, and the facility had plenty of space. The staff we interacted with were friendly and welcoming. It is always nice when a state welcome center actually makes you feel welcomed, and that was definitely the case here. I also really enjoyed the inside of the building. This is more than just a place to stop and use the restroom. There are displays about Tennessee history, including information about the Civil War and Tennessee's role during that time. I enjoyed taking a few minutes to look through the exhibits before we continued our trip. The fireplace, rocking chairs, woodwork, and overall design give the building a comfortable Tennessee feel. There was also plenty of travel and tourism information available for anyone visiting the state or looking for something new to do. Overall, this was an excellent welcome center. Clean restrooms, friendly people, interesting Tennessee history, and a comfortable place to take a break. Definitely worth stopping at when traveling through Tennessee.

    Clean, great walking area around outside, and clean inside. There is a sitting area on one side of…read morethe building and the restrooms on the other. The sitting area offers maps, rocking chairs, and a warm fire. In the center of the building as you're walking in you have someone sitting at the help center welcoming you in and security that walks the area. Bathrooms were clean, roomy, and the women's restroom offers a handicap stall with a sink and counter inside.

    First off the building. While it does look old, it was nice and comfortable. The door to our room…read morewas hard to open but the lady at the check-in desk said they'd get someone to fix it. Plenty of hot water and the beds were nice. Rooms were very clean. The room was chilly but it's July. Best part was the breakfast. It was INCREDIBLE. Great waffles, apple juice, sausage, and Lemon poppyseed scones. Would definitely stay here again.

    I made the mistake of staying at this hotel on a business trip. The front desk staff is very nice,…read morebut that's where the positive points of this hotel end. When I was getting ready to go to sleep, I discovered a huge hole in the wall underneath the bathroom sink (photo attached.)It appeared to be located where the drain used to be, so there is a strong possibility that sewer gases (and who knows what else ) are escaping from this hole. Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well thinking about what could crawl in through that hole. The next morning, I was going to take a shower and then go downstairs to ask to switch rooms. It was then that I noticed that instead of replacing the bathtubs, they tried (unsuccessfully) to coat it with some kind of material which is peeling off in several places. I went down to the front desk to try to switch rooms and was told that the same situation with the hole in the wall and peeling bathtub exists in several rooms. They offered to discount my room, but that really wasn't what I was looking for...... what I wanted was a functional room with no holes in the walls and a decent place to bathe. I thanked them for their help and told them that they probably needed to fire whatever contractor they used to do the work. Luckily, I was able to move across the street to the Holiday Inn Express who very graciously gave me an early check-in.
