Nice people, clean, well-maintained shower and not real busy as of 3:30 on a Monday. Also, if you're looking for food, this location has a Subway and a Wendy's.

This is one of the best pilots ive been to and im saying that having been to most of them. The day shift workers are extremely nice and will help you with anything you need. They are sincere and very kind. I had a man named Daniel help me with a flat tire I couldn't get fixed and he was more than happy to help me. I had no hope of doing it myself so the fact he was genuinely kind and willing to help made all the difference to me. I wish more pilot/flying j were like this one.

I would rate the staff with two stars. During my late-night visits, the staff consistently greeted me with politeness and a smile. However, I must give zero stars for the cleanliness of the showers. This was my first time utilizing the shower facilities, and I observed hair, dirt, and other debris on the floor. The shower tiles are cracked, posing a potential safety hazard, and require immediate repair. The toilet was unclean, and the mirror appeared significantly smudged. Additionally, there was limescale on the showerhead, indicating a need for more thorough cleaning and prompt maintenance.
