They have only 3 showers . If you are a smart person and value your time , don’t come here! I waited for 2 hours for a shower then I lost patience and told them to give me my shower back. There is a TA 20 minutes from here on i90. Be smart and save your time.

1/2/25. No policy here on dropped trailers.so I guess it's a free for all....they don't seem to care about the drivers who actually need a spot because they are coming through. These 3 trailers have been here since 12/31/25......and it's not like they actually parked in a spot that they paid for their time here....they took the free spots.
