I don't know how in the hell this gas station has a 4.1-star rating on Yelp. The only explanation I can come up with is that people who know the owner, or people who work here, are writing reviews just to inflate the rating and make this place seem like a reasonable stop.
This is, by far, one of the worst gas stations you can stop at. I just paid $6.50 a gallon for regular unleaded. Every other gas station in the area is at least 75 cents cheaper. Since there aren't any other gas stations for about 15 minutes in either direction, they take advantage of people and charge an absurd amount for gas.
Now, I wouldn't even mind paying the premium if the facilities were actually nice. They're not. They're horrible. The customer service is hit or miss, and sometimes the employees act like they have a complete disdain for helping customers.
I've never been in the women's restroom, but I have been in the men's. It's disgusting--literally disgusting. There's a dark black slime covering the floor underneath and around the urinals. I'm sure it's mold. You can tell this bathroom isn't cleaned regularly. The difference between this place and a Love's, Pilot, or just about any other truck stop is night and day.
How this place has a 4.1-star rating is beyond me. It's an absolute atrocity.
The crazy part is they're always busy, so the owner is clearly making money. He's even charging more for regular gas than Love's. What's interesting is that diesel is almost a dollar cheaper than many other places, because they know truck drivers won't tolerate being overcharged--they'll simply drive somewhere else. But for regular gasoline, they take advantage of the fact that drivers don't have another option nearby and charge far more than they should.
And again, if you're going to charge premium prices, at least provide a premium facility. The restroom is filthy. There wasn't any running water to wash your hands, no soap, no paper towels or tissue--nothing. It's honestly unacceptable.
The owner should be ashamed. You're charging top-dollar prices while operating a property that's dirty, poorly maintained, and gives customers almost nothing in return. read more
