Rest areas, sometimes referred to as rest stops, are typically located every hour or so along highways in the United States. Congress passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 which created the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways and included a provision for the construction of safety rest areas along the highways.
Given that the areas in which highways were constructed tended to be in remote and previously lightly traveled areas, facilities for motorists were frequently sparsely located so drivers needed safe places to take a break along the newly constructed highways.
Two years later, in 1958, the American Association of State Highway Officials released a policy document that outlined site guidelines and national standardization requirements for rest areas.

Cherokee County rest stop
This is one of the nicest and cleanest rest areas in N.C. The landscaping and grounds are immaculate. Refreshing place to just stop for awhile and take in the scenery and relax.

Interstate 10 Rest Area 30050 East/West
A good place to stop and relax during the long trips. It was safe and the bathrooms were clean considering the amount of traffic in that area. They have vending machines with snacks and drinks. People were walking their dogs and stretching. I'll return!

Interstate 10 Rest Area 30050 East/West
Rest area is a Little dated, but clean, and stocked. Has lots of vending area, and There is also plenty of room with picnic tables. The road park could use some modifications and updating, but it's far better than the closed rest stop's along 10!

Cherokee County rest stop
Peaceful, tranquil, beautiful place to see. You enter by crossing a lovely crystal clear stream via a wooden walkway, the bathrooms were new, clean, and safe. Just beyond the bathrooms is a trout stream that too is beautiful. We just stopped to use the restrooms, but stayed awhile to enjoy the serenity.

Cherokee County rest stop
You look for places because you gotta go. But in this case, you gotta go here because it is maybe the nicest roadside rest stop I have ever seen. Some architect and landscaper did a creative and top notch job on this modest building! You probably have to hurry in, but on the way out take your time to stroll and see the decks and walkways and landscaping and stream. It puts the "rest" in "rest stop".

This is the 4th shop I’ve been to for the same problem. 5⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s is what I will give these men in this shop 👍. I’ve been to 3 other shops and they couldn’t fix my problem. 1st shop Petro in king man, AZ. Used my bad parts to put it back together 😡. 2nd Sapp Brothers, salt lake, it. They couldn’t do that type of work. 😳. 3rd Garcia’s in Plainville, TX. What a joke, no one was ever in shop, sat for three days 😡😡😡. Now I’m at TA Shop Oklahoma City, OK. They are doing it right. New parts 🤩and doing it RIGHT!!!!. Thank you 😊

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Bentonville
Clean rooms and friendly staff.. room was a bit dated feeling, but the pull out couch was separated from the bedroom and worked great to set up for our boys to sleep.
Restaurant and bar are closed for COVID. They do breakfast on Sat and Sun only, but they had a small grab and go station with muffins and granola bars, apples available.
The pool was warm and we were the only ones that were in it. Clean facilities.
