When I searched Maps for "rest area," I was super surprised to see people (three at the time of…read morethis writing) had reviewed this particular one. It makes sense, right? I mean, if you are indeed resting. Why not rest and review? Anyway, five stars. The vending machines are plentiful and varied -- and take Apple Pay. The rest room is clean. There are some nice trails for the walking of the dog. And what amazing timing given we had just yesterday listened to Aly Ward's Ologies podcast (the Bryology episode) -- the picnic shelters are beautifully moss covered. So there. Need to pee, drink, dog walk, snack or picnic? This is a fine place at which to do it. Thanks Indiana.

We're on our annual trip north and stopped at this rest area for an evening "wiggle stop." The…read morekiddos very much needed to get out the wiggles. And the parents needed to use the bathroom. And yet again, this rest area more than delivered. We were able to easily get a parking spot, and the kids ran all over the playground. There were ample pieces of play equipment that are in nice, clean shape. The bathrooms were clean too. So happy this was the rest stop we came to when we needed a fun stop.

Unlike some rest stops that are shared, there are two distinct areas for this rest stop. We stopped on our way South, the stop located North of where Rooks Creek crosses the Interstate. This area provides some nice topographical variety. There is a decent size playground for the kids, a bridge crossing the creek to a dead-end lookout. The inside includes a couple of vending areas, and large clean bathrooms. Since I-55 is one of the major thoroughfares of the state of Illinois, there are large rest stops every 50 - 100 miles in both directions. Per the IDoT website, this is to promote driver safety. It also encourages frequent rest stops for those passengers who need it.

Excellent stay here! I have never been in a Holiday Inn so…read moreI didn't know what to expect. Booking was easy online, hotel had what we needed. No hassle for a military discount. They had the option to pick that on the website! Checking in was a breeze. Early check in was also notified to us the day prior and on the drive there. My husband made a call to them asking if we can have two rooms connected and they were very accommodating. They didn't promise but they delivered. Customer service was very satisfactory. We not only were able to have connected rooms for our family, they placed us in a corner of the hotel away from other patrons. That was very thoughtful of them. Rooms were very roomy and clean. Beds were extra comfortable. Bathrooms were very nice. The double Queen room was bigger than our king size room. Free breakfast is served!! Wow I find that a total rarity these days. We didn't get to enjoy a free breakfast since we went to a nearby IHOP but next time we will. My kids LOVED the pool. Excellent size and there was a hot tub. The water temp for both was great! We were able to swim very late (10:00pm) and woke up early to swim again (8:00am). Overall it was a wonderful weekend stay. No hassles and very pleasant. I'm very pleased we picked this hotel rather than any other in Morris, Illinois. It makes me want to research and try Holiday Inn in other cities.
