Hunter Hill Rest Area

Lots of parking, nice scenery, and best of all the bathrooms are clean… Lots of areas for the dogs to run around, too.

I took off one star because there is no «pet area» #noloveforcritershere other than that its Clean well lit easy access on and off freeway. Spacious parking spots (even for limos and busses). Vending machines, a great view and clean huge well stocked bathrooms (which face it is the real reason rest areas were created) #BestplacetoPEE before you hit the bay traffic. This spot is patroled by #CHPK9 so its usually pretty quiet. Occassionally youll get the person living out of their car making a stop but no regular homless people spanging or other social violence problems.

«New & Improved! Now With ICE CREAM!»
SITREP
«You SCREAM, I SCREAM, We All SCREAM for ICE CREAM!»
THE SETUP
I don’t know how I have missed this upgrade this past year since I stop here at Hunter Hill just about once a week, but I was tickled to death when friends actually grabbed me and dragged me over to the back alley end of the vending/​concessions line and said, «See? They have an ice cream machine!»
So they do! And with a LOT of different varieties! «Choco Taco», I’m making you my friend!
REGULAR CONCESSIONS REMAIN REASONABLE
The bottled watersare still only $ 1, with juices & energy drinks running from $ 2 to $ 2.50:
Sodas are $ 1:
As are most munchies:
THE STOP
With the cleanest bathrooms of any rest stop I’ve seen, as well as fully-​stocked vending machines, this has got to be the best maintained rest stop I’ve ever seen.
THE LOWDOWN
Stopping here to take a piss is almost an event in itself!

Super clean bathrooms at nice rest stop. A good place to stretch your legs and take a leak before getting stuck in traffic between Vallejo and and Bay Bridge

This is, by no means, not your stereotypical rest stop. It’s located on the tippy top of a hill at the city limits and as such has a great view of the city. The restrooms were spacious and they actually had separate single stall/​family toilets separate from the main restroom. Another amazing feature was that this rest stop was not drenched in layers of grime and various species’ urine. It’s a sad day when that’s a noticeable and distinguishable feature but rest stops get a lot of visitors, some of which aren’t keen on the concept of shared space. Yes it’s still a rest stop so it’s not up to Monk’s standards but it was significantly cleaner than most. It’s a great place to stretch the legs and walk the dogs as there were nice walking paths, although these areas tended to smell a bit too much like a normal rest stop (lots of dogs, not enough cleaner).

Well what can you say It’s a rest stop on the side of the road on a stretch of road that if you passed the last town without stopping this is going to be your last chance for a little while. The facilities are usually clean and it is well lit. It’s also pretty busy so you would probably be safe to pull over and sneak in a quick nap here too. Really what can you ask for from a rest stop?

Very clean rest area… great sitting area to enjoy your lunch/​dinner/​snack overlooking the american canyon/​vallejo area.

Clean, inviting, spacious, eco friendly rest stop. Family friendly, dog friendly, and surely kid friendly. Amazing view, spectacular reinvented rest stop. Modern, ease of freeway access to Hwy37 and i80. a walking path to stretch out your legs, play area grass for kids to get that «are we there yet» out a little. Vending machines well stocked with coffee, ice cream, soda, chips, jerkey treats, among lots of healthy snacks bars, trail mix, and power drinks. This is a perfectly stocked, maintained, built taxpayer benefit. I feel my tax money here was well spent. Did I mention picnic tables?

A very nice facility conveniently located on Hwy. 80 before I take the exit to Hwy. 37 heading back to Marin County. I beautiful view over Vallejo and the Bay in the distance. Facilities are clean and nice.

This rest stop was remodeled a few years ago and it’s amazing!
I cannot say anything bad about this rest stop. It has saved my life (aka my bladder) more than once so how can you knock that?! It has an amazing view, large parking lot, vending machines and some of the cleanest bathrooms you will ever see!
It’s also easy to get in an out of on one side of Highway 80 from Sacramento to San Francisco, but you will have to pass by it going in the opposite direction because there is no turn off.
Until next time!

By far the cleanest rest stop ive ever been too.
They even have vending machine with all kinds of goodies, beverages including coffee, and ice cream!!! I would stop here if youve been on the road. It even has a nice view to sit and unwind for awhile .
The only con is that they dont have this kind of rest stop everywhere.

Omg. I love the view. You can see the beautiful valley down below. it’s very scenic. I can’t imagine what it’ll look like during sunset. fog passing through, cooler weather. and omg, hot drinks are served by a vending machine. And nice bathroom though. Although the toilet seat is way too cold to sear on I kid you not. Namm sayinn.

Nice place, well maintained and the bathrooms were clean.

nicest rest area worth the stop even just to check out the views. Big thumbs up to Vallejo for making such a nice rest area.

I never thought I would review a rest stop, but this little gem in Vallejo is worth a stop just to see the nicest rest stop you’ll ever lay your little eyeballs on.
We stopped for a quick break on our way to the city and didn’t expect to get clean bathrooms or anything else for that matter.
This place is fantastic! The bathrooms have beautifully tiled walls and smelled fresh of a fresh clean bleaching. They were immaculate! Outside there is a vast view of below, including an area that I would come back to picnic at.
We only stayed a few minutes but I will make a point to stop here next time we pass through, seriously worth a deliberate stop!
Such a clean, pretty place is much appreciated, especially in Vallejo!

It seemed that this rest stop has been closed and unavailable forever. Was I surprised to find it open at last! The architecture is impressive as are the views. Its also an easy on and off. Thanks you Cal trans for an excellent redo.

very cool architecture. only downside is they do not serve chilled white wines, and toilets are not made out of solid gold. check it out.

Nice that it is open again after the remodel. They did a nice job. I love to stop here when I am going into the City to get rid of all the caffine that I drank on the road trip.
Tihis time when we stopped here, it was my wife’s first time seeing that view, she LOVED it. I also enjoy it.

Awesome place to go for a break. They have remodeled area and have lots of tables to relax along with lots of big clean bathrooms. Lots of vending machines with snack and drinks. They even have ice cream! Machines are always stocked with fresh items. Great views and a perfect place to relax and take a break from the car.

This is definitely the nicest highway rest area I’ve encountered. In fact, it seems to double as a park — odd as it may sound, I could easily see coming here for a picnic. The facilities are very clean and well-​landscaped, and the view is quite nice. There are lots of benches and picnic tables, plenty of trash and recycling bins, and even a designated section of grass for dogs to do their business. («Mutt mitts» for cleaning up are provided.) Bathrooms are numerous and include family and unisex options. There is also an extensive array of vending machine with snacks, soda, coffee, and even ice cream! The exit and re-​entry for I-​80 Westbound is easy, so there’s virtually nothing left to wish for!
