When the engineers and designers took on this project, they clearly understood the numerous limitations that big rig drivers face when needing and using a rest area.Thank you for your foresight, acumen, and aesthetically-inclined touches.This is the rest area that future designers should use as a standard!
A large, clean rest area. The entrance and exit ramps are a little odd, with the access road twisting back on itself. There were many vending machines that looked to be well-stocked, including with energy drink options. Lets face it, driving through eastern Ohio isnt the most thrilling of rides, especially when theres road construction, but this rest area was in a nice place to take a break, stretch the legs, and get a snack.
This rest area, as well as its counterpart on the Westbound side of I70, are always impeccably clean and well maintained. I have complimented the employees, on more than 1 occasion about it. Usually a rest area bathroom, brings to mind the smells of the monkey house at the zoo. But these are far from that.
The rest area is clean and the parking lot is spacious. The building is modern and bright. As with all rest areas in Ohio, this one is head and shoulders above the rest areas in other states. There is a food truck here. The guys manning the truck are not practicing good hygiene. They arent wearing gloves. The truck doesnt look clean inside and out and one of the three guys is smoking near the truck. This is supposed to be for truckers. Should this be acceptable because its for drivers? Are drivers standards that low? Mine are not.
A Very Clean and Well Kept rest stop. Dude was in here working hard! Everything that could be in order was in order. Youll also find vending machines at this rest stop in case you need something to snack on or you forgot your snacks. Outside is a nice green space, covered seating area and a place for parking for cars, rv/campers, and big rigs (Im sure people still call them that). You know, I miss seeing payphones at places like this. To totally eradicate payphones, how dare society. What if your cell phone malfunctions, the battery dies and wont charge? Not having a payphone available as a possible resource seems counter-productive to societies progress. Anyhow, East Bound Rest Area provides convenience for those traveling through Ohio. To locate more Rest Areas to make your trip run even more smoothly, go to the Ohio Department of Transportations website, Im sure youll find some locations.

2022-05-08Clean bathrooms. Wasnβt very busy. Larger rest stop. Benches inside. Also maps available.Roger, one of the maintenance personnel, was very polite. I asked how the soap system worked since it goes into the wall so he showed me! More than a simple answer of telling me, he decided to show me!

2022-07-17Vending machines took our change with no product dispensed. Saw that after the fact there was a refund request box packed full of refund requests. Lots of restrooms out of order. Poorly stocked road maps.

2021-12-03Not sure why all the rest areas arent like this. theres a truck parking shortage in this country. I would be great if the administration cared and actually made an infrastructure and facilities to accommodate the 3 million plus trucks that keep this first world country running.
