The Ohio Department of Transportation (also simply known as ODOT) has a total of 85 rest areas…read morethroughout the Buckeye state. This one is located directly off of eastbound I-90 in Mentor, the most populated city in Lake County. It is one of the more popular rest areas as many travelers stop here on the way from Cleveland and up to other cities by Lake Erie including Madison, Geneva, Ashtabula, Conneaut, and eventually towards the Pennsylvania border will you'll reach Erie. I stopped here after a long day driving through Michigan while having to use the mens' restroom. This stop is quite convenient as there are 29 parking spots for passenger vehicles and 10 parking spots for semi-trucks. Some other features is that they offer drinking fountains located inside, a map showcasing much of northern Ohio and the surrounding areas, large spotlights for those that wish to come here at night, and flags that represent the United States and the state of Ohio. What I particularly like about this rest area is that they offer an abundance of picnic tables complete with trash containers nearby. This is excellent for people that wish to stop, stretch and eat as well as a nice little spacious area for children to play and dogs to walk. There is also a nice amount of trees and landscaping to block out the sunlight which makes this one of the more beautiful rest areas that I have frequented. All in all, the "Mentor - ODOT Rest Area" is a safe and above average stop that I highly recommend. My rating, an above average three stars.

"Kingsville Travel Center" a.k.a. "TA Kingsville" is a one-stop shop servicing all of your needs…read morewhen you're on a long road trip. There are a vast amount of these around the country and this one is on SR-193 and just a couple minutes of I-90 in the small community of Kingsville, OH. To give you an idea where this travel center is located, it is roughly an hour east of Cleveland and about 45 minutes west of Erie, PA. This place is geared primarily for long haul truckers that need a place to fuel up, rest, and purchase all the basic necessities. This means they carry regular unleaded gasoline but also several types of diesel fuel as well as DEF fluid for big-rigs/semi trucks. Some other perks of this place are that they have a dedicated basketball hoop area, pet area, arcade machines, laundry room, driver lounge for relaxing, free Wi-Fi, Amazon lockers, and a dedicated truck maintenance area. The only restaurant I saw here was Burger King (which is open from 8am-9pm seven days a week) but the actual travel center has all your basic food needs, similar to a convenient store. This includes hot/iced coffee, hot dogs, sandwiches, cold beverages, snacks, and candy. They also carry quite a bit of non-food items including oil, coolant, sunglasses, hats, maps, and everything you need to get you on your way. For many of us, convenience is everything With that said and done, I am giving the "TA Kingsville Travel Center" an above average four-star rating.

For the rest of my Road Trip (ending 8/28/2018), it was a welcome addition to my car. And, I told several people about it while on the road. At home, I'm using it in my computer chair.

Today I stopped at the Pilot Travel Center in Austinburg (Pump #1) after picking my 16 year old son…read moreup from school on his last day before summer break. The school buses were not running, so I had to make the drive myself. I had spent the day cleaning my house and honestly was not feeling well physically. I am currently going through cancer treatment and dealing with an enormous pelvic tumor, which is why I chose to stay in the car and send my son inside to prepay for gas. I was in house clothes, covered in bleach from cleaning, not dressed to be in public, exhausted, uncomfortable, and simply wanted to pump gas quietly and leave without having to go inside. I handed my son $40 cash and watched him walk directly into the store with it. He stood in line, handed the cashier the money, and came straight back out to Pump #1. I started pumping gas, and the pump suddenly stopped at exactly $20. I asked my son why it stopped, and he was confused because he knew he had handed over the full $40. I told him to go back inside and explain the situation. He went back in around 12:50 PM and remained inside for over 20 minutes trying to resolve it while I sat outside repeatedly checking the pump to make sure there truly was no remaining balance. Eventually, I had no choice to pull up, unbuckle my sleeping child and go inside myself. When I walked in, there were around 10 employees and people gathered around the register area. Not one person greeted me or acknowledged me. One female employee looked me up and down and snickered, which was humiliating given the condition I was already in physically and emotionally. I was already disgusted by the reception I received . I asked if a manager was available. A bald male manager stepped forward, and I explained calmly that I had given my son $40 cash and only $20 had been placed on the pump. His response was honestly unbelievable. He tells me that my child must have dropped the money. I said that was not the case. He then said, "Here's what happened. Somebody told me they saw someone pick up $20 off the floor." I immediately asked whether they had checked the surveillance cameras to verify that claim. He literally laughed again and replied: "Why would I do that?" I explained again that my child stated he handed over $40, that I personally watched him walk in with $40, and that I was standing there making a legitimate customer complaint involving missing money handed over by a minor. Again, he dismissed it entirely and refused to review the cameras. Instead, he repeatedly insisted that my son "dropped the money," despite the fact that nobody had actually investigated anything. They simply accepted a random story from another customer without reviewing surveillance footage or making any effort whatsoever to determine what actually happened. The overall attitude from the staff was dismissive, mocking, and completely unprofessional from beginning to end. There was laughter, smirking, and absolutely no attempt to handle the situation respectfully or professionally. At that point, I informed him that I would be contacting corporate and filing a police report regarding the missing money. His response was simply: "Go ahead." The issue is not even the missing $20 at this point. Mistakes happen. It is the complete refusal to investigate, the mocking attitude, and the way both myself and my child were treated throughout the interaction. Upon returning to my vehicle, my son informs me that they did not once tell him he dropped it when he went in. So was this story was concocted for me? As somebody currently battling serious medical issues and simply trying to get through a normal day with my child, this entire experience was humiliating and deeply upsetting. I filed a complaint with corporate and the police.

This wasn't my favorite pilot in the world…read more I travel quite a bit for work and I always love stopping at pilot, loves, and TA. The way you get into the entrance off of the main road it's kind of weird, and potentially dangerous. The specials on the tag we're not exactly the way it says. "Buy one get one with any drink" doesn't actually mean any drink, but no one knows the specifics of the sale itself. The Staff there we're kind of rude and I'm a pretty damn nice guy so I wasn't pleased with that. After a couple huffs and puffs and a walk to the actual tag, she realized what it said and still couldn't explain it. Then I asked if I still wanted the items, of course I want the items and I want to sell that the tech says the pilot is doing. when the manager was finally brought over it's a care of the situation. But I never judge a book by the initial appearance the selection was still ample, the atmosphere was still pretty light, and all the items were stocked, the bathroom was clean and I can't ask for much more than that except for maybe a little nicer people and I'm from New York.
