    Visited this store on September 28, 2025. I purchased a shower stall and waited patiently for a good 30 minutes. I walked back and noticed the cleaning attendant doing her thing so I figured a few more minutes and she would be done. I waited another 15 minutes and walked back again. The cleaning attendant was fading in an out of consciousness and braced up against the wall and sliding down it. She was high on heroin or fentynal. I walked back to the counter and told the cashier that she probably needed to Narcan her employee. She panicked and got on the phone. I asked the other cashier for a refund cause I had run out of time. I waited 45 minutes for this shower stall and didn't seem like a shower stall would he ready anytime soon with the cleaning attendant faded out. The cashier informed me that I would be refunded automatically cause the system resets 10 minutes after the number is called. I checked my statement a few days later and noticed there was no refund for the shower like the cashier stated. I emailed guest services and was told to call guest services. I called guest services and was in the process of getting assistance when the call dropped. Nobody called me back despite me having a registered account and all my contact info is available to customer service so I'm forced to waste even more time on such a simple problem. I would not recommend this place and would not ever go back to this location.

    This location is an absolute disappointment. The Pilot app rarely works here, which forces customers to go inside just to reserve a shower. On top of that, be prepared for long waits because the place is consistently understaffed. Let’s be clear the employees aren’t the issue; they’re doing what they can. The real problem is the management. It’s obvious they’re cutting costs by running with minimal staff, prioritizing their profits over basic customer service. At a busy travel stop, you need at least three to four staff in the morning to manage showers, the front desk, fuel, and general operations. Instead, management chooses to run the place on the cheap, leaving both staff and customers frustrated. If the company is making good money here, the least they could do is reinvest in hiring enough people to actually serve their customers properly. Poor management, poor priorities, and zero respect for travelers.
