pubic hairs all over the restroom
Sofia A.

worse place ever. i travel with husband for work. salinas was our mid way to our destination so we stoped to get a showered and fuel up . i was assigned shower 4 the . number was on a screen i walked to the shower , put the code as i open the first thing i see was some white substance on the toilet.(yes it looked like semen ) i was perplexed i couldn't believe what i was seeing i proceeded to walk to the sink . then the shower just to confirm what i was thinking since i stepped in !It was DIRTY had not been clean at alll! and they had the nerve to assign that for use!! i walked outside i went to the person on the front, told that the shower was still dirty if i can please be re assigned another shower, he proceeded to ignore me and be on his phone. i was in such disbelief when i see the manager he walked to the shower and him too! he didn't even apologize or anything on the contrary he made me feel like if did the wrong, he then started arguing with the janitor. then the janitor started giving me attitude telling me it hadn't been cleaned to step outside. i asked if i can use another one that is clean he Said No ! fast forward no one re assigned me another shower! my husband walked in to hold the door so i could just wash my hair. honestly i don't think it was ethical from any of them. not even apologize or offer a different shower literally was forced by necessity and lack of their professionalism to use that nasty shower. its an insult for the amount of money spent at their station plus the fee to use their nasty dirty semen filled toilet and hairy floor and showers .

a gas pump at a gas station
Sunil R.

Made a stop here on my drive south. It is big, clean, and right off the highway. It looks like they have other amenities other than gas given the size and name. It was super windy but I have started expecting that it is much cooler and breezier in this area compared to the bay area.

Bright lights at automotive fuel islands.

The staff is trying their best. But there is remodeling in the store. Still have plenty of snacks. Sketchy people are there at night. No more extended parking on the car side. Twenty minutes limit. That does help when the people that would homestead in the parking lot. Still best fuel prices especially if you have the rewards.

Low price gas
Franklin M.

What a great place to stop and load up on gas and other goodies you might need for your road trip. I filled up my rental minivan with low priced gasoline then went inside to buy lottery tickets.

Restroom remodel

I've been coming to this gas station and only this gas station (if I can help it) during my trips to and from SF and San Luis Obispo for the past few years. The gas is reliably affordable - prices for sure lower than any other town down 101 - and usually lower than others in the area. The reviewer from 2009 that quoted $2.05 gas prices made me cry a little. The inside of the center has large and clean restrooms, cheap fountain sodas (I live for that monster 44 oz. Diet Coke with the vanilla flavoring), and a Subway. It's all geared towards long-haul truckers, which I like to pretend I am when I roll (screech) up in my sweet 4-door rusted-out Corolla. Service is not always on the ball and I often have to wait 5-10 minutes in line for gas, so that loses 2 stars, plus one for the nostalgia of coming here and its timeless reliability. Pro tip: When you're done pumping gas, don't be an asshole and leave your car parked in the stall when you want to go grab a snack. Park near the shop and go inside for as long as you want - just let the rest of us get our gas quickly and go back to our trip. I can't tell you how many times I've needlessly waited for someone only to find they were inside buying Slim Jims. I've never seen $151 charges on my card, so I dunno what Jen R. was up to. Gas happy, drink happy, drive happy.

See all

This is where folks stop to use the restroom on a roadtrip up or down the 101 freeway. It's relatively clean.

The coffee's good, the store has pretty much everything you could ever want, and there's a Subway attached.
