- AEAmir EshaghbeigiJun 25, 20262.0This truck stop has clean showers and bathrooms. But the water pressure is poor and the showers are very small. I am OK with the small showers but the water pressure needs to be much better. The store and staff are friendly but not as much as other truck stops. I will not hold anything against them because it is a very busy truck stop. The problem with the store is that they leave the food unprotected so you can take it and then pay for it, the problem is that a lot of our truck drivers or customers don't close the food containers and they leave it open so the food is exposed. A lot of customers also don't cut the food right so for example the slice of pizzas are not as they should be. But over all a good and clean place and you can not blame them for much because they are very busy.
- DNDevrim ÖnacJun 21, 20261.0This damn place makes a fortune from fuel. They don't have the sense to install a decent washing machine.
- BGBenjamin GalemoreJun 11, 20261.0They don't clean the showers when they are empty. People waiting paid for the shower but the works won't clean them.
- RCRichard CampbelleJun 9, 20261.0Terrible showers low pressure water barely hot water longest wait in the country 9 working showers total 3-4 hour wait for showers
