    This is like part of the worst Pilot I ever been to. I was so hungry. I went in to get some food and they had no food. The coffee was out then I went to pay for it and the machines were froze up and I couldn’t even pay for it. They wouldn’t even accept cash. What the hell? The parking is very tight too. I was so hungry so I went to Quik star instead they had food and they took my money.

    The parking lot is really small. They try and accommodate with parking spots All over. The refrigeration system was down, so there was no fruit or Deli. The place is clean. The fuel island isn't very busy. It has good fuel prices. It was nice to have a clean shower. At least a 30 minute wait.

    Small truck stop. There no laundry facility. The review written by management says there is laundry and WiFi. Not good WiFi either.

    Wow, what an impressive staff you have here. Three showers being used every single day, and not once do they get cleaned. Must be exhausting doing absolutely nothing, right? If this is the level of “hard work” they’re paid for, then please—do everyone a favor and replace them with people who actually know what a cleaning mop looks like. There are plenty of job seekers who would be thrilled to do more than stand around and pretend to work.

    Cute little truck stop, should be more of these, with some obvious changes. Like hiring a professional chef to prepare healthy meals for truckers. The cheap disgusting processed food has got to go.
