This rest stop is usually packed mainly with trucks but the bathrooms are in below average condition and they all have graffiti or something key scratch into the bathroom.

Outside there are several areas with picnic tables and place to walk and clean up after your dog. There are some flowers. You can learn about buckeye trees and the Eisenhower Interstate System. There is plenty of parking and on/off the highway is easy. All in all, a good stop with useful information.

We opted for spicy chicken sandwiches and set of 3 sliders with pepper jack cheese (you can also get a 2 pack), accompanied by French fries. There are also wraps, pizza, hot dogs, and more.

They have a lot of drink options that you can serve yourself in the fountain area, including slushies, coffee, soda, and more. There is both interior seating and a patio available. Everything came out hot and fresh. Other selections inside of the store are also great - in addition to the snacks and such you'd expect, they have a good refrigerated section with fruit, cheese, grab and go sandwiches, and the like.

Bathrooms were reasonably clean, completely stocked and there was no trash in the parking lot. The far end of the lot was in the shade and after I long day of exploring Columbus, a thirty minute nap worked out really well. There are separate structures for the vending machines and the bathrooms. The rest area is not staffed though I'm sure it's regularly patrolled by the state police, or at least I hope that it is.

I never thought I would be this excited about a rest area…read more The Fayette County Rest Area on I-71 northbound has been rebuilt in recent years, and the entire front landscape is dedicated to Ohio native plants. It's almost like walking through a small arboretum. Educational displays identify native trees, flowers, grasses, and shrubs, making it far more interesting than your typical interstate stop. Inside, the theme continues. The walls are filled with displays highlighting communities, attractions, parks, and destinations around Central Ohio and across the state. As you're heading north toward Columbus, it's almost like Ohio is introducing itself before you arrive. Most rest areas are places to make a quick stop and get back on the road. This one is worth taking a few extra minutes to explore. Nicely done, Ohio.

It seemed a little secluded and unattended and silent and quiet. Spooky even. There was not much going on and I didn't notice any places to eat or drink anything. Just some vending machines and some toilets and not somewhere that I would sleep for the night, and this is coming from someone that has slept on the streets of Queens one too many times. Having said that it's better than falling asleep at the wheel so I won't give it the lowest rating.

This actually at least two buildings as there's the hotel where you check in and park and all that jazz, then there's another hotel across the street, which you can get to via a skyway across one of the downtown Columbus streets. There's also a restaurant or two there as well. Rooms were nice in the "old" hotel (the one I was in) and I didn't have any problems and slept pretty well. The pillows were acceptable and my room actually had a desk which seems to be something I've been having trouble with lately. I'd stay here again if I was coming to the Convention Center. I'd come back just to eat at that FYR restaurant. Great experience all around there. I only wish there was a Piada close by...
