12/23/25 I rarely do reviews on truck stop unless it's something bad but the service and staff on the early morning shift were immaculate and the store was very clean. I was there for a print out around 4am to 5am i would definitely pass through again

This place is filthy and disgusting. Avoid at all cost. Its very obvious that their employees do not care. I wish I had pictures of the bathroom too because it was just as nasty as the coffee area. Used the restroom and left. Didn't even really want to do that.
