Great rest stop just outside of El Centro. I've used both Rest Stops heading East and West while…read moreon road trip when I need a break from San Diego. A nice spot to stretch your legs, walk your dog , or answer nature calls. There a couple picnic tables and park benches available and at the westbound location a gazebo that I'm guessing once held a picnic table. If you're road weary and needing a nap if you're a light sleeper you should bring earplugs or consider another location, as the I 8 provided a lot of road noise. Over all I do reccomend this Roadside rest. Both East and West Bound are good. I've had sleep over stops at both locations while on different road trips I've taken. I've never encountered any problems at either location.

The second option would be to wear a hazmat suit with a full respiratory system, option three, go into the Pacific or four, just soil yourself. Good luck. Updated: Just head south to Tijuana, most likely much cleaner.

We've come here once a year for quite some time, so our expectations for this boutique…read moreestablishment were fairly high based on past experiences. While the room is still beautiful, we noticed several changes that made this stay feel less special than before. In previous visits, breakfast was served in the main house with beautiful views, which was always something we looked forward to. This time, breakfast consisted of two muffins and a thermos delivered to the room, which felt like a significant downgrade from the experience we had come to expect. There were also small boutique touches that seem to be missing now. In the past, there were little cookies by the coffee maker and other thoughtful treats that added to the charm of the stay. While these may seem like small details, they are part of what justified the price point and made the experience feel unique and memorable. Overall, the property is still lovely, but many of the personalized touches and amenities that once made it feel like a true boutique experience no longer seem to be there, which was disappointing

I asked the cashier, an early 20s young lady if the donuts were fresh to which she said "I think so". I said, I dont think this one is, she replied, well, maybe not then. I said ok and placed it on rhe counter. She rang up the item as full price rather than the day old price. (I live locally so am familiar with the stores practice regarding day old pastry). I asked the cashier if that was the best she could do regarding the price. She took the donut off the counter, looked me straight in the eye and THREW the item into the trash can! I said to her. "So you would rather thow the donut away instead of selling it?" She simply stood there staring at me! I responded nothing to her and left the store. I have been a regular customer of this business for over 9 yrs and have ALWAYS had a happy friendly relationship with everyone connected. Sad that such a bitter person has been hired, so sad. I hope the owner reviews their camera footage for verification of this incident.

I thought he was being funny but his female co worker told him he was on break (or something) and moved him out of the way. He kept saying I shudnt order that. Weird. Anyways....female employee was extremely nice. She did get a line as the cashier has to also serve food?? And ahe waa the only cashier...Thank God for gloves as cash handling is gross. Finally a cook, I believe, came out to help. Kinda weird with an employee saying no u dont want that. And the food stand shud be separate from the cashiers. Like Pit Stop in Santa Rosa.

Doors did not lock and not all furniture was unpacked so we had to put it together ourselves. While the view and the birds were spectacular, our hosts were not. We would leave work and things would be moved around when we came back, which was invasive and perplexing since there was no maid service in the four weeks we stayed. On several occasions after working the grave shift in the early morning there would be knocks on our doors and occasionally fire alarms would be set off. One day after days of our doors never locking (both the hallway and sliding glass doors) they decided to do maintenance to finally have the doors properly lock, and lock them when they were done. Well because none of the doors to our rooms locked many of us stopped carrying the keys, and upon arriving to locked doors it was hard to get in contact to be let into our rooms. As much as we appreciated being lodged in this clean facility, we could have done away with the hostility and confiscation of personal property from our rooms.
