However, getting back on I10 is a little easier, especially if you're heading east, as the old exit ramp for Bob Hope Drive is still there. Even heading west feels a little quicker. The store is your basic quick stop, and there are several fast food joints nearby if you're looking for a little more than a snack, but that's it. It's pretty sandy, and the wind can pick up, so be warned. Otherwise, the pumps work, I filled up with the gas I needed, and I was on my way.

WORST GAS STATION EVER! I know it looks nice from the outside, with all the conveniences and cheap…read moregas, but the people who work here are inconsiderate, rude and out for themselves. We went inside to buy $50 of gas and a RedBull. They charged us $250, and argued that we agreed to that amount. It wiped out our bank account and despite cancelling the transaction, we were left with $0 and no gas or drink, because the funds were "pending". That was four days ago, and we are STILL waiting for the money to be deposited back into our bank. On our way out, two employees approached us to agree that the place was a joke, run by a bunch of people who don't care. I will NEVER visit or utilize an Agua Caliente establishment!!

The gas at this ARCO Ampm on the Northwest corner of Monterey and Varner is super cheap (not just…read morecheap for being in the desert). Best of all, there is easy access on and off the 10 Freeway off the Monterey Ave exit. Just be aware that as an ARCO you can pay for your gas with cash or an ATM card (for a $.35 fee) but they don't accept The restrooms were clean, but out of paper towels and there was no interior door handle. I was going to dock them a star for that, but the cashier and male employee working there were super friendly and went out of their way to help me find what I was looking for. I really wanted pretzels, but couldn't seem to find any. One of the employees walked around the store with me (the chips were spread out into several different spots) and he found the pretzels just after I gave up. He got extra points from me for persistence. There is a Chase ATM inside if you need to pick up some cash, and a propane tank exchange outside ($24.99 with exchange tank, $59.99 without). This could be very important if you're planning a holiday barbecue or camping trip. There is an air and water refilling station on the Northeast corner of the lot. The soda fountain carried both Coke & Pepsi products for those who have a preference. There were three different diet options: Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, and Diet Dr. Pepper. This is a very convenient refueling station if you're headed out to Palm Springs or to points farther East. I'd definitely stop here in the future.

Hopefully management keeps this in mind when considering promotions. :)

Stopped by this Costco in Palm Desert to fill up on gas, and go inside (if not too crowded). Found…read moreit to be so less crowded than our neighborhood SoCal ones. Gas has reached over $6 a gallon now, so actively looked for a Costco while traveling from Palm Desert to Joshua Tree. The entrance to the gas station is not meant for high volume, with the eight lanes (4 islands, 2 pumps each so no need for parallel parking in a middle spot) having space for 3 individual cars behind. Once those fill up, there is no space except to go out to the street. Price was significantly less than the surrounding stations, and the paying/pumping was exactly the same as every other Costco (one tap if you have the Citi Costco card). We did go inside the Costco, with the mandatory membership card tap to enter. Once we got our few items, lines weren't too bad with additional checkers using hand held scanners to individually scan each item in the cart, eliminating need to have to put any items on the conveyor. It does make it faster...it's not Amazon Fresh that needs the RFID 'scan the whole cart at once' technology, but Costco. The food court is inside and wasn't too crowded, and would have stopped if we didn't have other plans. The $1.50 hot dog/drink special always tempts me.

It's never easy finding a pace to stop on a road trip, but this place has it all. Plenty of gas pumps, a little dog park area, the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at a gas station, an incredible selection of healthy, salty, sweet, indulgent treats/snacks/food/drinks, and a safe and comfortable place for our whole family to get out of the car and stretch our legs. Shelees is easy to get to right off the freeway, can be a long or quick stop depending on your needs and then you're all filled up, refreshed and ready to hit the road again. We will be frequent visitors on our Cali road trips from now on.

While dispensing the petrol into my car, I decide to walk in as I have heard about different food items available on the go.

The sandwich I picked up wrapped and ready was $6.49 and DELICIOUS! Was it gourmet? No, but for the price and the amount an incredible value.

This last visit, I was on my way in and really needed to use the restroom. It was Saturday, on the weekend of Coachella, so they were busy! I was thrilled to see you didn't need a code to get into the restroom. THANK YOU FOR THAT! The restroom was your standard gas station restroom, though. It was clean, but had been put through its paces. Since I always feel like I should buy something if I use their facilities, I saw they had 2 donuts for $3.00 and Maple Bars! SOLD! Luckily, the line inside was super short, so it was a quick purchase. Well, these maple bars were sadly horrible. The dough was OK, but the maple was awful. First, it dripped onto my shirt in the car! Then, I really couldn't even taste the maple. I mean, it was there, but not really. I ate about 1/2 of one and then threw it away, along with the other uneaten one. And I NEVER do that with a maple bar. The other inconsistency is their Slushie machine. It only seems to be working 1/3 of the time; the other 1/3, it's still spinning and freezes. So, it's 3 stars for OK.
