点评:I stopped at Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop during a road trip that took me through Tennessee on I-65. I did like Dolly Parton, and was sad when she passed, so stopping here was so I could say I've been there.
I'm a BucEe's fan and appreciate Dolly offering travelers another fun option in Tennessee. In my opinion, there is no comparison.
Dolly's is located right off I-65. When I pulled off I-65 making my way to parking it was a little confusing. On a scale, Dolly's is slightly larger than some of the comparable Love's stops, but smaller than BucEe's. A large parking area off to the side of the main building has one of Dolly's tour buses parked for picture taking, and parking spots for smaller cars. There's an area separated by brightly painted and decorated concrete barriers for 18 wheelers.
As you walk into Dolly's, you're greeted by a space full of every kind of Dolly Parton knick-knack, or souvenir. The guitar chandelier hanging in the center of the shop is cool to look at, and hard to miss.
I know there are food options available at Dolly's, but I didn't get any food during my stop so I can't comment on the food options. There were no inviting aromas of food, so that was disappointing.
Dolly's offers gas, and a chance for you to stretch out your legs and spend money on Dolly souvenirs if you're a big fan.
I did buy a few magnets to show that I stopped at Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop. Staff didn't seem as friendly, or welcoming as the staff I've encountered at other travel stops which was a bit of a surprise knowing how friendly and sweet Dolly was.
It's a cute place to stop and check out if you're traveling I-65, but not much to write home about.
翻译:在一次沿I-65公路穿越田纳西州的旅途中,我在多莉的田纳西旅行站停了下来。我一直都很喜欢多莉·帕顿,她去世时我也很难过,所以来这里就是为了能说“我曾到过那儿”。
我是BucEe's的忠实粉丝,也很欣赏多莉为田纳西州的旅行者们提供了又一个有趣的去处。不过在我看来,两者根本无法相提并论。
多莉的旅行站就紧邻I-65公路。当我从I-65驶离并试图找到停车场时,有点摸不着头脑。多莉店的规模略大于其他一些类似的Love’s加油站,但又小于BucEe’s。主建筑旁边有一个大型停车场,那里停着一辆多莉的旅游巴士供游客拍照,还有供小型汽车停放的车位。此外,还有一个用色彩鲜艳且装饰精美的混凝土隔离栏隔开的区域,专门供18轮大卡车停靠。
走进多莉店后,映入眼帘的是一个摆满各类多莉·帕顿周边商品及纪念品的空间。挂在店铺中央的吉他造型吊灯看起来很酷,绝对引人注目。
我知道Dolly's有提供食品,但我去的时候没买任何食物,所以无法对那里的食物做出评价。店里也没有令人垂涎的食物香气,这点挺令人失望的。
Dolly's提供汽油服务;如果你是Dolly的忠实粉丝,这里也是个可以活动一下筋骨、购买Dolly纪念品的好地方。
我确实买了几个磁铁,用来证明我曾经到访过Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop。工作人员似乎不如我在其他休息站遇到的员工那么友善热情,考虑到多莉本人那么和蔼可人,这一点还挺让我意外的。
如果你沿I-65公路旅行,这里是个不错的停留点,值得去看看,不过也没什么特别值得夸赞的地方。
