Easy to get gas here. Lots of pumps and plenty of room to maneuver.

Needing to do laundry for the night, $7 later and my clothes are drenched getting out of the washer and STILL wet after spending 50mins in the dryer on high heat. Do laundry elsewhere honestly...

Most of the time, this Pilot is good, but management today ignored the long line of 10+ customers all the way back in the snack section so he could do stuff on the computer.
It's sad when the customer has to get your attention. One poor guy on the register needed help.
GET YOUR MANAGERS CORRECTED, PILOT!

GREAT OVERNIGHT BOONDOCK FOR RVs.....
This is truly a trucker's hub stop, so there's a LOT of semis here, but RVs & camper-trailer rigs are also very welcome. They have around 7-8 back-in spots exclusively available to RV buses & camper rigs. Bathrooms and other facilities, as well as grounds are clean. They also actually have a full-service restaurant (Denny's), as well as good take-out options in their Flying-J convenience store of comfort foods like baked chicken quarters, mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese. Dump & water is available for $10 fee via credit or debit card, but I don't know if it's timed, as we did not use this service.
Propane fill-up is also available.
Only downside is the outrageously prices diesel. Fortunately we were full when we rolled in.
Overall it was a quiet & safe night.
....And for those complaining about the "noise", what do you expect?? You're overnighting at a TRUCK STOP that's conveniently located off an INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. If absolute quiet is what you expect then suck it up & inconvenience yourself by driving 45 minutes to an hour to boondock somewhere in the remote mountains or woods!
