Cleanest parking lot I've seen for a Pilot. Staff was friendly and greeted with a smile. Only downside was that they had more paid parking than free. Pretty much forced to pay while you help run America

The parking situation at this place is a perfect example of how little the employees give a damn about their customers. You can't hardly park because the employees all pile their vehicles up right at the door. Go to any other store and you'll see the employees on the edge of the lot or around the side of the store. Not here. Great job Pilot employees.
