The stretch from Pitt to Erie seems empty and endless, so this place is very much appreciated, and I like all the greenery and space that they have here. Nothing to eat, but still a relaxing spot. Western PA does know how to do its rest areas - when not on the awful evil turnpike.

Sheetz is a gas-station and convenience-store chain that has hundreds of locations across several…read morestates. This particular Sheetz in Grove City, PA is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. It sells gasolines, packaged snacks and beverages, and made-to-order foods. It also has a few Tesla charging stations, an ATM, and wi-fi. My husband and I drove here to purchase premium gasoline for our vehicle. The gasoline pump worked correctly, and the price for the gasoline was average. We experienced no problems. We did not go inside the convenience store.

I will say this about this location, to get her from the outlets can be a bit confusing. If you do not pay attention to the exit from the outlets you will find yourself going the wrong way. As you pass by this location you will be overcome with wanted to pull a u-turn, but you won't be able to do that until after you have gone pass the highway interchange. It can be confusing to all that watch you do this too. Rather larger store, quite nice to browse about. Facilities were clean and usable. Selection of products were plenty. This felt more like a truck stop than a regular stop along the highway. MTOs were available but I was only here for the facilities and to grab a quick drink before moving onto our next destination. I will say, the updated look the stores are moving to are nice and welcoming. Allowing for more people to dine in.

My husband and I stopped at this service plaza when we were driving from Cleveland to Pittsburgh. The parking lot had many available spaces for vehicles. We purchased a beverage and a snack at the Caribou Coffee restaurant. The food court contained many clean tables and chairs. I used the women's restroom, and it was in good condition. I read that the truckers lounge has a 108-space parking lot, separate restrooms, complimentary shower facilities, coin-operated washers and dryers, and vended shower and laundry supplies.

It also has an Apple Green desk for ordering ahead and picking up. Other amenities are an ATM, restrooms, pet-friendly outdoor areas, lots of tables and chairs, information for tourists, free Wi-Fi, etcetera. For years my husband and I have visited this service plaza. During our most recent visit, I thought that the building and grounds looked to be in good condition. At the Sunoco my husband purchased premium gasoline for our vehicle. We generally think that the 7-Eleven could offer more snacks and beverages to our liking. During a previous visit, I used the women's restroom, and it had lots of available stalls that were fairly clean.

This hotel has an Indoor heated pool with a hot tub, a fitness center with a good blend of older and newer cardio equipment, free weights, and features a Peloton that anyone can use with the hotel's account or their own account with a free account. My room was a large King suite with plenty of floor space, a refrigerator, coffee station, a separate sink and additional storage space. The wifi is a bit slow for my liking, but I was able to surf, check emails and do other general tasks. There is a premium Wi-Fi offer for higher-tiered members or for a daily fee. Breakfast is buffet-style with a choice of hot and cold offerings as well as cereals, breads, eggs, oatmeal, fresh fruit and other items. Overall, a problem-free stay in a well-maintained property close to highways, gas stations, restaurants, schools and an outlet mall.

Why I can't give this 5 stars..... you will have a Red Hot Moment. No matter how low you set the thermostat, (we had the lowest) the air only ran 1 time at night. It's August guys. I can't imagine how warm July would have been. I finally woke up sweating and did donuts in the middle of the room trying to set off the sensors. It worked and at 3am we finally got air. The ac did not kick back on till 8am. The other setback are the thin ceilings. Think 5 year old running around at 6am on your ceiling.
