Welcome…read moreCenters are normally located on the borders of states, but this one is smack dab between North Carolina and South Carolina. Free wi-fi is a nice perk for any traveler. You can walk inside and chat with an employee, grab coupons and tourist info, or learn more about the state. The indoor area is closed on holidays and in the evenings. The bathrooms were open, but they were not clean and are small. With only four stalls, this isn't a great place to stop for a bathroom break if you're traveling with a large party. The vending machines have a lackluster selection. If you're hungry, stop at a convenience store or fast food. South Carolina's rest areas aren't fancy, but it's easy to get on and off the highway for a quick bathroom break, which was all we needed.
