It offers picnic tables, a dog park, and plenty of good information for travelers. Over the years I have gone through this stretch of the highway alone or with others. On a couple of occasions the family decided to take a break from the road and have a cup of coffee or a bite to eat at one of the picnic tables and every time everyone expressed their pleasant surprise at how clean the facilities were.

On Saturday 03/30/2024, the 15 Freeway northbound heading to Las Vegas was closed for several hours…read moredue to a traffic collision unfortunately. Hence, we had to take a detour and use an alternate route. Highway 40 was one of the routes and my intuition said to take it. It was already late in the evening and it was raining. As much as I would have preferred not to get wet in the rain, I knew we had to stop at least once for a potty break LOL. After an hour plus of driving, we arrived at this rest area. I was surprised it had an official name for it... John Wilkie Rest Area. Anyway, we got lucky as it was sprinkling just a tiny bit at the time. We quickly used the women's restroom and went our merry way. It was clean and well stocked for the most part. There are only 4 stalls. One of them was out of commission so only 3 available for use at the time. From what I saw even in the dark LOL, it's a well kept and maintained rest area with picnic benches covered and uncovered for use... nice!!! Do stop by if you need a rest and/or potty break because it'll be another hour or so before the next rest area. Safe and happy travels!!!

That large Dr. Pepper with free refills you enjoyed in Seligman, AZ has yelled "Margin cal, good…read moresir!" and you've just screamed past the last turnoff before the Colorado River heralds your arrival in California. Squirming in your seat, and hoping the border checkpoint line isn't too long, you suddenly remember the John Wilkie Rest Area, and announce "I'm gonna make it!" to no one in particular. John Wilkie was a CALTRANS superintendent, who advocated for workers with disabilities. Through his vision, people with disabilities were included in work forces, building and supporting infrastructure and roadside rest stops like this one. Mind you, if the whole outfit was a pile of cat litter and a garden spade, that would still be a better option then stopping in Needles, California. Thankfully, this rest stop is well-maintained, clean, and modern. As with most remote places, best to keep your wits about you, particularly under the cover of night. Situational awareness, that sort of thing... But for the most part, this is a lot safer than stopping on the side of the highway, and trying to duck behind a tumble weed or something. So go ahead, get that big chocolatey blizzard at the Ludlow Dairy Queen... You can always stop here; or better yet, they have a really good hospital in Kingman.

Mens, women's and even a unisex restroom in the back. 6 patio covered tables with benches. 3 additional out door seating areas Two water fountains fully functional 3 spickets for your dogs to drink out of or to fill up a doggy bowl. Workers were here making sure to stock up on toilet paper and to keep it clean. I noticed a few reviews from years ago mentioning it but No urinals were broken of anything out of order

This is a very pet friendly place, just ensure pets are leashed for safety since this area is in the open and near roads. I felt safe from wildlife while walking around the rest area for a quick stretch due to the clean grounds visibility . This stop is maintained daily and has minimal landscaping around. During the day there was plenty of presence of visitors and employees for a weekday. There are multiple stalls (4) in the women restrooms but at my time of arrival 2 were not working, maintenance was repairing those. This rest stop is also a common stop for truck drivers but parking is big enough to keep the area safe and accessible to big rigs and regular vehicles. Plenty of picnic tables to use while you enjoy a quick snack in the desert area and a nice breath of fresh air .

This is a fun visitor center with a little something for everyone. Two wonderful gift shops, a…read moresecond floor free museum, a super neat pay museum (that I would strongly recommend), a dog park, and several photo ops. The gift stores had moderate priced items and a nice selection. The free museum gave a nice history of this Route 66 stop. The gem was definitely the pay museum. We learned so much about the history of the area and the dust bowl. As an added bonus was the electric car display. So much fun! We almost skipped this because we were just planning on a short stop. Glad we stayed and explored! We were traveling with an active 6 year old and she stayed engaged throughout. So many fun photo backdrops made this a stop that made our highlight reel from our vacation. Plan to spend at least an hour. Your paid admission to the museum also includes 3 other stops. Not all are open every day. We only made it to one of the 4. Again, good for all ages. Entertaining and informative.

The historic Powerhouse generated electricity from 1909 to 1938. The side of the building has 16 Tesla Superchargers ツ The Visitor Center has a gift shop that carries maps, brochures and mostly American-made souvenirs. They have a nice selection of stickers and postcards. They also sell stamps so it was perfect for the postcards I was sending. The stickers are my latest collection (it doesn't take up much space LoL!) Upstairs is the Route 66 Museum (stairs and elevator are available for use). Before heading to the museum, stop to read about the Guardian Angel of Route 66 StoryFile Experience, Angel Delgadillo. He has a very special relationship with the road called Route 66. The employees are friendly. They also have clean restrooms. Before leaving the parking lot drive through the Route 66 roadside attraction and snap a photo of your car underneath the sign. A "must see" attraction for Route 66 travelers in Kingman... highly recommended! Review #3695

The lighting made it feel lit by sun, though the blackout curtains pulled the whole time. There was a combination bathtub/shower, which is most appreciated, and the body wash and shampoo had a delightful scent. The television, including the closed captioning, worked (non-functioning TVs has been a problem a few times in other motels). I was in Needles to visit nearby family, so all I needed was a clean place to sleep and bathe. This was perfect for me, and located near fast food restaurants. If I'm in Needles again I'll definitely stay here.
