Attendant was in the women's restroom cleaning away and the sinks, toilets and floor were VERY clean. 1/5 stars for the trickle (as mentioned in a previous review) of a stream that came from 2 of 3 sinks. Ugh! Be sure to have sanitizer handy for extra germ killing as the water pressure is horrible. Great vending machine options including hot coffee drinks. Change machine available also. Would be nice if this stop had a display with brochures from sites in the area. They only had a few free catalogs in the stands outside. Indoor ADA button did work. Nice pedestrian bridge outside going from the parking lot to some picnic tables. Overall very clean and tidy. Highly recommend stopping. Just don't expect to fully rinse your hands if you're using the women's facilities.

There is a sign in the men's rest room that literally tells people not to wash their feet or wash dishes in the sink. Oh yeah, the sign says don't shave, either. (See pic.) Just weird. And that sign has been up 2-3 years. If you need signs like that, then you probably also need 24/7 security. There is a water fountain at the rest area but it is IN THE REST ROOM RIGHT BESIDE THAT SIGN. If you can, drive to a different rest stop.

Blue Star Highways are a tribute to the Nations armed forces who served in World War II. There are nice flowers and it is attended to by the Garden Club of Illinois. Plenty of signs and in particular one says Illinois remembers POWs and MIAs. Very evident that, at least in concept, the sacrifices that servicemen and women make are important in the state of Illinois. However, in the past week our Nation has lost a number of lives as our military withdraws from Afghanistan. In fact it's been one of the largest single losses of service lives in many years. While this is a nicely manicured clean rest area, someone has neglected to lower the flag to half staff, a point which I brought up to a worker, extremely politely and respectfully, here at this rest area. It is this reason, this in attention to an extraordinarily important and significant detail, that I extend a one star rating to this otherwise very nice rest area.

The parking area was clean and level. If I was here in the evening, I would definitely consider staying here as I didn't see any signs limiting how long parking is permitted.
