It took a long time, but the renovated area is so much better than the old stop. Clean, comfortable, ac outlets available. Currently a burger king, Chick-fil-A, taste new York, and Starbucks. One area is still under construction so not telling yet what that will be. Happy it's all done.
The rest stop was recently renovated. It’s lovely inside with very comfortable seating areas. There are a limited number of healthy food options. Only Burger King and Starbucks are opened on Sundays. As you can imagine, the line at Burger King was long. Unfortunately, they did not make my order correctly at Burger King I was happy to have this rest stop opened again as Sloatsburgh is closed now. Starbucks has a drive thru which was great
This tranquil and bucolic travelers oasis nestled deep in Appalachia provides eclectic offerings in a sleek and modern environ that belies the vernacular architecture it's modeled after and yet provides the comfort and familiarity weary excursionists look for as if a lighthouse on unfamiliar shores. 10/10 my friends got Starbucks and chick fila.
This was my first visit to one of the newly refurbished NYS Thruway rest areas. They did a fantastic job here. Panera is not yet open. There was a farmers market outside on the day we were here.
after the renovation, this place looks as it should! It's clean and tidy. You can grab a coffee, eat a burger and relax. I'm really pleasantly surprised!
I like that the place look like a big open coffee shop. The furniture is cute and different. The furniture encourages socialization. The restrooms are more efficient for large groups and modern.
Well decorated. Large sitting capacity. Favorite food brand is here..
Very nice service area. Many choices for food like... Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, Burger King, Auntie's Pretzel's. There's a Panera Bread opening soon also. The restrooms are clean and there's a little souvenir/gift shop. Reasonable prices.
New rest area is open. What a disappointment. I spent years stopping at the rest area for coffee, sandwich or just a break. It was not bad back then. Might not have been the most modern, but it was generally kept clean, garbage emptied etc. Most people are absolute slobs, so that is always something i keep in mind. But there was staff previously that at least tried making a visible effort to keep it clean. There was an outside space that you could walk your dog, and you had multiple ways to get to the exit. Dont look for that anymore. This new space didn't even pave the lot nicely. There are chunks taken out already on what looked like paved areas during construction. But they did not repave the entire thing after being done. Paved up close, painted all the lines and called it a day. The holes are just going to get bigger and deeper. And one garbage can outside the building over flowing. See picture. I guess NY can't afford a second garbage can. It is a disgrace. Now inside. Long lines, understaffed, and mens room has banana peals left in sink. Did I mention people are slobs. No hand towels, only blowers. Air dryers do not vent from outside, I do not prefer to dry with recycled germs. Appearance reminds me of airport terminal, it is pretty But does not represent the Catskill region. I love chick-fil-A, but sadly closed on Sunday. Starbucks had the usual extra long line and although the market place is large and nice, it also had a long line. Overall review: not happy if my tax money paid for this. So much potential and a huge fail.
Clean and decent rest stop with a few fast food choices, convenience mart and seasonal farmers market outside .
