Plenty of parking and there's one big building that has restrooms and stores. There's also a gas station here and I believe they have a seperate store as well. Plenty of options to eat though all fast food. There's also a store for drinks, snacks, smokes etc. Each fast food place is set to order and then they all share seating in the middle of the main floor. There's plenty of seating as well. The bathrooms were big and updated as well. Plenty of stalls and sinks. A very nice and modern rest stop.

The cashier refused to take credit card orders and made the person behind us use the ordering kiosk. That customer wisely responded by getting her food at Shake Shack instead. I understand the unfortunate concept of overcharging a captive audience, but to wait for dried out whatever-it-really-was" and be treated rudely to boot leaves a bad taste in my mouth that is only slightly worse that the food itself. Will 100% be passing by any Popeyes I see in the future.

The ladies' restroom stood out to me--it has 24 stalls, which is far more than most other rest stops I've been to across the U.S. Definitely helpful when it's busy. (And yes, I said restroom--not bathroom. So many Americans say the word "bathroom" when there isn't a bathtub in sight!) Food choices are solid, with Burger King, Popeye's, Auntie Anne's, and Starbucks all on site. There's also an Applegreen convenience store that sells snacks, drinks, postcards, New Jersey T-shirts and sweatshirts, and a variety of souvenirs. The seating area has around 25 tables, so there's plenty of space to sit down and enjoy your food. Lastly, the Sunoco gas station makes it easy to fill up before getting back on the road, which adds to the convenience of stopping here.

I stopped there with my friends, coincidentally the same friends as last year and this year. Last year, we stopped for food for my friend. He went to Burger King. We were bored and wanted to hang out for a while there, and we found the wall about Celia Cruz's life very interesting. I loved reading about her early years and seeing her famous outfit, which they had on display. We played around with the screen that showed many of the famous people from NJ and pulled up their selfies. We took a picture with Danny DeVito, which was actually a real-life-sized selfie of him. The rest stop also has a row of massage chairs that you can pay for to use for a few minutes. We didn't use those, but that is a great idea to offer at a rest stop. We ended our time trying to win stuffed animals in the claw machine, and on my turn, the claw accidentally picked up three animals together. So we each took one and took a picture with it. This time, we found out that the Dunkin' Donuts stays open 24 hours, to my surprise, and I got a matcha latte. My friend got a meal from Burger King again, and to carry on the tradition, we took a picture with Danny DeVito again! The bathrooms were also very clean. This is a really nice rest stop, and to me it stands out from some of the others.

This "Welcome Center" is quite spacious, with quite a variety of vendors for all your needs. Some of my favorite? A Dunkins, a Panda Express, and even a Wendy's! The restrooms here are not "Bucees" clean (but c'mon who can compete??), but compared to other pit-stops, this place is second-tier. A great place to stretch, walk-around, and recharge for the remainder of your trip. This round --- I only stayed for about 15-20 minutes, and decided to try the new "Applegreen Tap&Go" Coffee Stations. One is located at the very entrance of the building, and one towards the back (near the food court). I ordered an "Iced White Mocha", and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It did what I want coffee to do, taste good and have caffeine! In any case, if you're in Delaware, make it a point to stop-by!

Separated from the Center is a nearby gasoline station.

Only 15 minutes from AC, great location for doing activities in and outside of AC. As much as we enjoyed our stay, the villa had few issues. They are deteriorating, as doors in our rooms would open with a push, even though they are locked, so no privacy. Bathroom door at the entrance wouldn't even close. There were spider in the curtains and some doors with broken knobs. I hope the hotel manages to keep up the quality of these villas as the years pass by.
