- MSMaNiNdErjEEt SiNgHTM1 day ago5.0I recently stopped at the Pilot Travel Center and had a great experience. The facility was clean, well-organized, and easy to access from the highway. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially at the counter. The restrooms were clean and stocked — which is a huge plus when you’re on the road for long hours. The store has a good selection of snacks, drinks, and hot food options, and the coffee was fresh. Diesel pumps were fast, parking was easy, and everything felt safe. I’ll definitely be stopping here again on my next trip.👍

- SSSirMCraftalotNov 4, 20255.0Van drivers.... if you park along the outer perimeter you will not have a problem per store manager. Keep the spots up by the store clear. It's a very nice, remodeled pilot, with friendly employees. It's bigger than most, it used to be a flying j. And if you are hungry, it has a Dennys, open 24/7.
