This Love's is off I-57, east of Saint Louis. As with all Love's, it is easily accessible from the Interstate with any type of vehicle as they have clear signage to separate cars from trucks with wide entrances and plenty of parking. After using the restrooms (Mrs. K. said the ladies room was clean), we filled a cup of coffee and added our usual stuff. Good quality coffee and many options for snacks to go with it. This Love's has a dog park as well which is quite nice. Just be aware that it's only a three foot high fence. [Review 305 of 2025 - 221 in Illinois - 23867 overall] read more

I stopped at Love's in Ina. They got showers for truckers. Nothing like clean socks to feel human again. They used to have this knife collection. Some of those knives looked like they were Wolverine claws or Freddy Krueger's workshop... more Freddy Kroger. It's gone now. Safer, but less weird. They've also got local beef jerky and stuffed animal heads... taxidermy-style. Pacadermy, I call it. Nothing like a road trip snack with a staring raccoon to keep you company. Clean place, fuel works, snacks are good, showers are great. Left feeling refreshed, slightly unnerved, and craving possum jerky. read more

Nice quick stop off the highway! THEY HAVE A DOG PARK! ahhh so happy! I travel with my fur baby and was so excited to see a fenced in area for him to run around for a bit after being cooped up! The pumps outside were very clean. The restrooms were very clean. The inside was very clean through the store. We got hard boiled eggs, I would recommend getting some salt or pepper to go with them. Customer service was wonderful and everyone was very kind! read more

Watch out for the service people!!! Man I really like loves as a business and convenience while traveling. But dang. Right to the point. Handicap lady was trying to get Into an empty locked stall while my wife tried to get attendent to open it. The attendent finally showed up said she knew she the lady was waiting but said she was going to the bathroom first then she'd help her. WTF? A little humanity and what happened to service. The place was clean-ish. It was easy in and out. The Mac Donald's sucked. Nobody took order and service sucked. $4 for fries? Cmon people!! A little humanity, help out your fellow human being, and be nice. read more

This location is severely lacking in food. We are used to Love's as the go to place on road trips but have been disappointed in the last 2 we have been. Did corporate change their marketing strategies? read more

We've been stopping at Love's lately when we travel with our dogs and will be skipping this one in the future. The dog park has all rocks instead of grass inside the dog park. The location was also very busy and smaller than most we've stopped at making it a zoo to get around the parking lot and store. read more

Loves Store 318 My husband and I was leaking air so we call ahead and was told to bring our truck on in. When I tell you the customer service was top notch believe me. Aaron the Diesel Tech was awesome he got us in right away and corrected our problem in no time a great guy and extremely knowledgeable. Sheldon our service advisor was also wonderful so professional. Mike is definitely a Great Manager and it shows through his staff. Loves should be proud to have these 3 gentleman a part of their staff. My husband and I will definitely keep this location in mind for future repair. read more

It might be because I haven't showered in a couple days but I found the people here to be very rude. Usually people at loves are nice. This location made me feel like SpongeBob in that one episode when he had bad breath for eating that weird ketchup and onion Sundae for breakfast. My breath though is fine. read more

Such a great place to stop! We had left around 3am in a terrible rainstorm and this was a great place to stop and catch our breath. Tensions were high in the family car and having a place for our dog to run around, have a quick bite, and browse the endless aisles really got us excited to get back in the car. Cleanest bathrooms i've ever been in, and incredibly nice staff in both the Loves and Mcdonald's! read more

Good, cheap grill items and combination deals are at this Love's. We got the hot dogs, which were tasty (2/$3.33). The rest rooms were clean. The gas was inexpensive ($2.09 regular). There is a McDonalds connected to Love's, and we could have gotten a large drink for $1. But we bought everything at Love's ($2 for drink). read more

I really like the fact that thy are all over this side of Illinois. Although they don't have them in Chicago, this is fun. The gas was competitive as far as prices are concerned. And I did appreciate the fact that they had these hot sausage links (in a wrapper) that wow I love! So hard to find but well worth it. Of course if you have high blood pressure you may have to just stay away. Salty as the dickens! It was kind of late when we came here and the staff was very nice. Even let us (well my friend) fill up her cup with ice and she told them she just wanted ice. They didn't mind in the least, so this was a good thing. The variety of snacks here is really intense. You sincerely have isles and isles of "stuff" so make yourself a list before coming here. What I found entertaining about LOVES is that they have restrooms and showers. Ummm maybe entertaining is not the word I should use. I guess they have tons of truck drivers that come through so this seems to be a plus for them to roll in and just take care of their needs and continue on their way. Still, its a really good incentive to come through just for that, especially if its going to be a long trip. Not sure if I would use this option but hey, someone can have it if they choose to shower. read more

Love's Travel Stop - Bunch of nick naks and snacks! - Gas Stations Near Me - Ina, Illinois

Always like to stop at loves as they keep restroom clean and people are friendly. Have not seen a dirty loves yet. Keeping up

Decent gas station. I have stopped twice at this one. Bathrooms are clean enough. Parking lot has ample space. Lines are long. McDonald's is nearby. The coffee is good. read more

This Love's Truck Stop is crazy busy, congested around pumps with lots of cars, boats, campers and R.V's. You need to pay super close attention in the gas and parking area. Inside the isles seem very narrow. The foot traffic is heavy in almost all isles. McDonalds is connected and heavy foot traffic here. Love's has a section of prepared hot dogs, sausages and sandwiches and fountain drinks. Large selection of beverages in the cooler and snacks galore. The store has lots of sovereign with t-shirts, cowboy hats and stuffed animals. Several electronics are here i.e. chargers, cell phones, etc. Restrooms were clean. The clerks were very nice and greeted everyone as they entered and left. read more

Not sure I'd agree with the other reviewer when they say Love's has the "best" gas, although it is competitive in pricing. This is one of those road oasis's you could skip walking into, only because there is so much stuff in here you may like to buy, but definitely don't need. Like I didn't need a cowboy straw hat for $5.99, but I'll take it! 2 for a dollar candy sales and Garmin GPS's for as low as $140.. Not bad. Fun stop to recharge your batteries before getting back on the road. So many unnecessary gifts you just can't pass up. read more

The lovely lady working the register gave several travelers with dogs some free sausages! Thank you!

One of the workers didn't let us buy a lottery scratch off card because we weren't 21. She doesn't know the Law lol.

0.2 * Ladies restroom was despicable, nasty! I've never experienced since a filthy mess. Had to cover my nose from the smell. I didn't have my phone because I would have to sanitize it! read more

Awesome group of maintenance guys there! came out and helped me solve a problem with my truck! very helpful I thank you very much!

Yuck! But they have a dog park! Bathrooms were nasty but the fenced in dog area was a nice bonus.

I truly have mixed feelings on this place cuz I did work here at one time and was fired over ONE managers disapproval probably cuz I out worked her n she was not the type to look like she wasn't staying busy but truly they picked favorites. Which it's whatever, OBVIOUSLY it's not a GREAT place to work or otherwise they would have more the ONE person there for 3 years or more but they have an employment turn around like CRAZY! I loved my job to an extent but this place also showed me to NEVER give my all from the get go n only put in minimal amount of effort that way if I am sick one day n kinda slacking it won't REALLY be slacking it will be a regular day, lol, but normally I'll raise the bar for the other employees/managers! Now more about Love's, other then the shitty employment part and shitty managers who pick favorites other then that is is a greAt place, sort of read more

One of the dirtiest loves ever been to. The restroom stinks. Managers outside smoking when I asked him he needs attention to the restroom he just ignored. Most of the store floors were wet didn't put the wet sign on. This store has long lines but not enough employee to help you out. read more

Love's Travel Stop - Gas Stations Near Me - Ina, Illinois

Nice stop. Clean restrooms. I always hit the big truck stops for cheaper gas prices and clean restrooms especially when your pulling a boat or camper. They have a McDonalds as well. read more

Stay out of the bathrooms!! We stopped here on our way to Florida. The bathrooms are NASTY. toilets weren't working. It was just horrible! Trust me keep going down the highway! read more

Love's usually has the best gas prices in Southern Illinois. It's located right off the Ina exit on Interstate 57 just down the road from Rend Lake College. It's a truck stop, and there are usually a lot of people there, but the wait for fuel isn't usually long, if at all. There's a McDonald's attached to the service station for hungry travelers. Inside the service shop, they have everything someone traveling could need. If you come to the area, stop here to get gas at a small discount. read more

You can find this gas station/travel center on I-57 at the Ina exit. Gas is fairly priced. The store has somewhat clean restrooms. The hot food offered is actually pretty good. I'm a big fan of gas station hot dogs and nachos. Sounds gross but the stuff is very satisfying. The biggest negative is that this location is not very big. At any given time there may be four or five people trying to get a cup of coffee from the same pot. The Ina location is good. You're probably not going to run into any scumbags here. read more

Never will I shop here again. I went up to the register to talk to the lady about fuel, when my husband approached he had a soda from this loves that he was drinking. She then accused him of stealing and not paying for it. We had paid along with our other dinner items at the front of the store. She could check with the lady at the other register. I was pissed. You don't do that to someone. She had red hair and wears a red loves shirt. Stay away!! read more

Nice little truck stop in Ina. They have a 24 hour McDonald's and gambling machines if that's your fancy. Not a bad place and it's cleaner than most truck stops I've seen. read more

Well here we are again. All fuel islands were busy all night long.The wifi was a problem .Paided $4.99 for 24 hours That I was not able to use..Took over a minute to turn a page. McDonalds durning the dinner a bit slow,but ok Had breakfast was ok . DOES NOT HAVE A SUBWAY..... read more

All the pumps were full and so was the inside if the store. Quite impressive that they keep it as clean as they do with the amount of traffic in and out of there. The McDonald's attached is another story all together. Rude and disinterested service. read more

Even though I was 9th in line for a shower I still only had to wait apx 30min. That's pretty good in my book. Plenty of truck parking and clean. read more

Today a water main line broke and so everyone in the surrounding area was on a water shortage. Loves had a sign out for 2/$8 packages bottle water. When I got to the counter they told me that because of the water shortage I was only allowed to buy one case. So I asked if it would be priced at $4 instead of the original $6 price tag. They told me I had to pay the full price for a case of water instead of the $4, even though I would have chosen to purchase 2 if they didn't have limits on it. I understood putting limits on how much you could purchase, buy they were very rude about the situation and said no discounts would be offered. Just another business taking advantage of a crisis for financial gain. read more

Most disgusting truck stop I have ever been in. Went to the bathroom and as soon as I started to go, a swarm (and I mean swarm) of flies flew up out of the toilet. I looked up and they were all over the wall. Went straight out thinking it was just the bathroom. I went to grab a cup of coffee and as I reached for the cup another fly landed on my hand and 8 notice flies all over the wall and flying on and around the drink machine. I left the cup and said forget it. Dirtiest truck stop I've ever seen. read more
