Now, I've been blessed to travel quite a bit and experience some beautiful places around the world…read more But THIS TA Travel Center? BABY, it has earned a spot at the VERY TOP of my list of horrible experiences. And not in a good way!
I don't think I'll EVER forget how filthy those bathrooms were. The stench alone was ATROCIOUS! I kid you not, I didn't even want to get too close to the urinal. That's how bad it was!
The entire restroom was in desperate need of a DEEP cleaning, repairs, and honestly, a complete overhaul. We're talking urine buildup, stained urinals, soap dispensers missing their covers (and who knows if they even worked), and NO paper towels. Just NASTY! I couldn't believe a business would allow its facilities to get to that point.
Now, I'll give credit where it's due. The convenience store had quite a few buy-two-and-save deals, which I appreciated. But even that couldn't redeem this experience.
There were also several fast-food options connected to the travel center. However, after seeing the condition of those bathrooms, I completely lost my appetite. I have no idea whether the restaurants share the same facilities or how their kitchens are maintained, but I wasn't interested in finding out. I decided to keep my money and keep it moving!
I'm generally pretty reasonable when it comes to reviewing businesses. I understand that travel centers get a tremendous amount of foot traffic, but there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for restrooms to be in that condition.
HORRIBLE experience! If you're traveling through the area and need a restroom break, do yourself a favor and find somewhere else. I certainly won't be returning!
