This is a highway rest area. Generally people want to rest at night. This facility has hours of operation. I pulled in with no time left on my clock. I ate dinner before I went to use the bathroom (or tried to anyway). I found the doors locked with a sign advising people to use the bathrooms at businesses off of the exit. That may be fine for cars, but I'm 85' long and on electronic logs that say I can't move until my break is up. The best part is I'll be leaving before they're open again so still no bathroom. They're all too happy to take your money in the vending machines around the clock, though. People wonder why their bushes get peed on and they find human excrement places it shouldn't be. Wonder no more. When you take away all other options, people resort to behavior that is more fitting of animals. On the other side of the highway, the NH welcome center is actually welcoming. Just north, the Kennebunkport service plaza is the same. Had I known that this place was so awful, I'd have stopped there. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here now. CT has ridiculous hours for their rest areas, as well. At least they have the common sense and decency to make port-a-potties available. Congratulations on being the absolute worst state to drive in in all of New England, Massachusetts! You deserve absolutely nothing trucks have to bring you.
