    As far as rest areas go, this is the one you want to stop at. (Yes, I realize that you don't have much choice in the matter . . . . when you have to go you have to go.) This one seems a notch or three above the rest. Should be an inspiration to other rest areas. It's clean, esthetically pleasing, and educational. Yes, I said educational. Beyond the typical map letting you know that "you are here," you can learn all about the Eisenhower Interstate system and the Native American mound builders who built 8 earthwork complexes in Ohio. It's definitely more than just a place for a bathroom break for you and/or your dog . . . . but it's good for that too!

    This rest stop is really nice. I think it is recently remodeled. I didn't take the time to walk around but the restrooms were clean and most everything looked brand new. This is the rest area on the Ohio side on your way to Indiana. Nice place to stop, and I'm sure I'll stop here again.

    Everyone! All hail my greatness! I am now the Duke of the Pilot Travel Center on the west side of…read moreColumbus. Yes everyone, I am royalty in the eyes of Yelp. So now you're just dying to know how I got to be the Duke of a truck stop? Well, their gas prices are usually among the cheapest in town and with easy access from I-70, it's a cheap and easy fill-up for the gas hog. The store itself seems to be neat and clean with all the sundry things a convenience store has. The grounds are clean and well lit too. They even have a Wendy's attached to make this a more productive pit stop for you. One star each for: Typically low gas prices Convenience to the freeway Neat and clean Friendly enough staff Me being the Duke of the Pilot Travel Center - OK, no points for this one. I can't wait to put this achievement on my resume.

    I have been coming to this location for quite some time, and I am always greeted by the employees…read more The service from the staff has generally been great. My issue is with the GM. She was rude, lacked customer service skills, and rolled her eyes at me when I asked a simple question about parking. I was basically told that if I did not pay for a parking spot, then I could not park at this location. I drive all over and know that many Pilot locations offer free parking for drivers. Because of this experience, I will avoid stopping at this location whenever possible. Thank you, Pilot, for making drivers feel unappreciated.

    Big truck stop, and the store was what I'd hoped: lots of snacks and drinks, plus some travel and…read moreother items. Decent prices, a few things on clearance. Big selection. Had what I wanted. Self-serve register wasn't working, and I learned that discounts don't show up till you're finished ringing up. That's true at some chains, not at others. Wish there was a standard. Clean bathrooms. Showers available. A couple of restaurants in the building. Easy access and plenty of parking. Careful to turn into the car side if you're in a car, off of Rohr, not the entrance on Alum Creek which goes to the truck side.

    My bestie is a truck driver. When he offered to forgo getting a hotel for our double night…read moresleepover expedition, I hesitated. And you know what? I was wrong. It's the middle of a seasonably accurate february and yet I haven't really noticed. We parked out glorified apartment on wheels with the rest of the truckers all tucked neatly in a row. Despite the weather, the ground was relatively safe and clear for me to not worry as I hoisted myself in. The whole lot looked well maintained, even the other side for average size travelers, where we parked our rental car. In the morning, I had gone inside carrying an already pasted toothbrush and everyone smiled and said hello as if this is normal. Because evidently it is, with multiple showers and laundry to boot. It's like a mini trucker haven of a hotel. Having experienced a Greyhound delay with run down toilets, I wasn't sure what to expect. Not that it set the standard high, but they superceded it with immaculate cleanliness. Filled loo roll dispensers, automatic sinks, my choice of soap or hand wash (with extra gunk removing qualities). It's one of the more pleasant public restrooms that I've ever encountered, and as a tiny bladdered lady, that's saying a lot. I had to wait for my bestie, so I nosed around to find this place has everything. Well, as long as you are willing to pay. The selection is more expensive than any convenience store I've ever seen, albeit costing what one can demand when your choice of stores is limited. I could have even chosen from two restaurants, but after circling around a few curious laps, I went to the fresh case for boiled eggs. They tasted fresh. None of this sitting around for ages nonsense, it looks like they dedicate themselves to treating voyagers like they want them to enjoy themselves. And take care of themselves, with nutrition factoids posted. The cashier was very nice as well, bagging up our loot (he got burritos from the hot selection) and had us use his Loves card to knock down the price. I can see why this place is called Love's. I can breathe easy knowing my friend is in good hands on the road.
