- RLReggie LuvFeb 21, 20265.0I love this truck stop! It's quiet here. There is lots of grass for the dog! The showers are excellent, lots of pressure and the water temperature stays the same not like others going hot and cold and hot again! The only down side is the locals park their personal vehicles in all the staright in and out spots like the 2 car hauler do by the grass and no one says anything to them about it. So forget about ever getting any of those spots. The management does nothing to stop them.
- ACAlready ChosenFeb 20, 20261.0When using the shower there. The employees are right outside the door. Specifically an older ages man. When you open the door they are there saying hello. Kind of weird and unprofessional. Give the customer a chance to leave. No one wants to wonder how long you sat outside the door while they shower.
