It’s obviously an older pilot, but not a bad one. I came here to shower. The 2 hour parking limit sucks if you’re not in a truck, but that seems to be a thing all over NC that’s enforced. Other than that the employees are nice and hooked me up with a free shower. I didn’t have any on my rewards card. So that was cool. No complaints really. Just don’t expect a brand new pilot. Showers are small but have hot water and were clean. That’s all I care about. Truck wise it’s not a big lot and I imagine it fills up quick being in the city. I’ve been to bad locations (being from Memphis) and this one while it gives a rougher vibe outside it seems to me they’re trying to not be unlike many I’ve been to.
