Note that a major prison is nearby, however, and the convicts' buddies could be stopping here. Location: 2. Easy to get to, but Colorado is putting its rest areas in towns, not between towns where you really need them. Tourist info: 3. Nice staffed visitor center is rarely open when I pass through. Not as nice as the one in Julesberg. Walking: 5. The rest area is meh, but there's a gorgeous lake (Overland Trail Recreation Area) across the street. Dog facilities: 4. Enclosed dog run, as well as the aforementioned lake. But this area has lots of sand burrs. Check Fido's paws before you get back in the car. Restrooms: 4. Usually pretty clean and well maintained.

CDOT rest area Wiggins, Colorado…read more Stopped at the rest stop to stretch our legs and use the restroom. It was neat and clean and even had a dog area for pets to stretch their legs. There is a family restroom with changing table which definitely helps. Well used and scratched but still appreciated. I've changed diapers in many different places in my lifetime and a changing table, no matter how beat up, is the best. I think there is a vending machine but we didn't have time to linger so I couldn't check it out. But the rest stop was a nice one and it makes the long drive tolerable. Wheelchair accessible.

I found a few things to like about the rebuilt rest area: It's new. It's big, with lots of parking. It's relatively safe: there are no hidden spots for spooky characters to hide. The merge back onto I-80 is long and perfectly angled. Some key things are missing--things which traditionally make Nebraska rest areas great. No shelters to protect picnickers from sun or rain or wind. No tornado shelter. No local character. No art/sculptures. No trees. No panoramic views for cars (the tuckers get the view this time). No obvious pet "exercise" area. There's nothing innovative about the interior of the building. There's a cavernous space with no clear purpose. Accessibility was a checklist item but not a true priority. Yes, there are ramps and button-operated doors. But the doors are narrower than some wheelchairs and tight turns are required. I got a few bars of intermittent Verizon 4G signal and 3 bars of ultrafast T-Mobile 5G+. I get the impression that the new design came from someone in another state who had never visited other Nebraska rest areas.

No doors into public restrooms with automated toilet, sink and hand dryer. Hooks in stall for personal items. A family restroom is where you will find a counter top for diaper changes. Plenty of parking for all vehicle types. Metal trash bins all along the parking area. A paved loop pathway leads around the back of the building, past a field, if you like to get some walking in when you stop. In July, we got bitten many, many times by flies (even as we swatted and flapped a jacket about to deter them) so just be aware. I did not see a designated pet area and picnic tables are in full sun, no shelters or tree shade. The information desk attendent was available to answer questions about NE tourism and there are lots of travel brochures available (no charge).

We would have give a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the rude treatment I got when I walked in to book a room. No greeting, no eye contact and Shanella looked as if I just ruined her evening.

The staff, however was friendly and helpful. breakfast was supposed to be a hit breakfast of eggs, sausage & biscuits & gravy but it was all cold so had to warm stuff up in the microwave.

Went to front desk and received a very snarky remark about how we must have reserved online (we didn't, we called earlier today). After finally getting into a room, it is frankly filthy.

I don't normally review hotels unless they are exceptionally good or exceptionally bad…read more Unfortunately, people do need to know about this hotel. We could have used some notice. We had checked this hotel on Yelp before staying and did not find any red flags, or any reviews at all in the last two years. However, after our stay, we checked Google Reviews and found many red flags. Guess we will be checking Google from here on out. Talking with a staff member, we understand that the hotel has been under renovation for 8 months so far, and will likely be under renovation for months more. Apparently the new beds have been on backorder for 12 months so far. They are renovating in stages. Fortunately, they have finished replacing the carpets already and there is no longer a lot of dust. However, the partially renovated rooms still have issues even with the replacements. We stayed in Room 200. Hilton App showed us checked in but we were not. We needed to check in manually. During our stay the key card system was not working and we had to be let into our rooms by staff. Bagged waters were not provided the night we stayed but were being offered to new people the next morning. Our stay here was the worst experience of the Hampton Inns on our 3000 mile road trip. Personally, we won't stay here again. We will stay either in North Platte or Cheyenne. PROS: 1. Windows do a decent job of blocking the freeway noise 2. The shower is new 3. The carpets are new 4. The couch and chairs are new 5. There is a bed 6. There is working AC 7. The door does lock 8. Water does work 9. Elevator does work 10. Staff was kind CONS: 1. The hotel is the closest hotel to the freeway. 2. Only one elevator 3. New shower drain was clogged already and drained very slowly, leaving us showering in a lake 4. Old shower head was not adjustable in any direction or flow rate or pattern 5. Toilet seat hinge was broken, tilting the seat 6. Toilet was too close to bathroom door, so that you had to close the bathroom door to sit down 7. Bathroom door drifted closed always and would hit you on the toilet. Bathroom door needed to be all the way open or hard closed. 8. Shower light took a long time to fully come on. Shower/toilet room was completely dark otherwise. 9. Beds were old, hard, and really uncomfortable 10. All room number signage is not mounted on the wall yet, it is sitting on the floor 11. Bathroom sink hot and cold are reversed 12. Shower temp varies A LOT and could scald you if you turn it up too far when it dips cold
