I don’t understand the negative reviews. I dropped anchor here for a reset with no issues. The location is perfect. It may be tight for new drivers, but for experienced drivers this is a safe haven.

Love the place! Yet, customer service needs more humble and kind people. I just called to check if the washers were being used .. not if they had any (from my understanding every ⭐ Pilot ⭐ has washers&dryers available) but since I was nervous to have had called, I didn't speak correctly.. now I'm discouraged and ashamed of even asking anything

For those families who travel in cars on long road trips and love Pilot travel stops, AVOID THIS ONE!! I don’t know what they did here but this location has been a “semi-truck only” rest stop for years and was then bought out by Pilot in recent years. Most of the infrastructure and buildings here are still the same since the old name. Tbh, I wish this truck stop weren’t even here since semis cause traffic on Redlands Blvd and Hunts Ln.

Looking at the photos online, we assumed we were going to another pilot gas station. Lady inside said they don’t have regular fuel stations, that this is just for semi trucks and the like, not for regular passenger cars. Area is sketchy also, lots of homeless people and not very clean. 1 star for poor upkeep and false advertising, because the listing photos show regular gas pumps and they don’t exist here. 👎🏼
