It would have been great if all the pumps were working. They sure weren't. Other drivers were noticeably & verbally frustrated by it. Thank goodness for other pumpers who paid attention to these matters and kindly moved their vehicle shortly after pumping... especially the guy I parked behind. They really should consider cleaning up the place a bit. Maybe get different trash cans so trash doesn't fly around anywhere. Their squeegies for window cleaning could use replacing. They were non-existent. I realize this is a courtesy for gas stations to provide, but it does make for safer roads. The main upside was that fuel is fairly affordable here. That day regular unleaded was $3, plus was $3.40, and premium was somewhere around $3.50.

My only wish is for an elevator, as we were on the second floor and had heavy bags. Maybe there is one but we couldn't find it. Breakfast was fine - my only suggestion is to provide skim milk as an option - a lot of people can't drink whole or 2%. Check out was super easy and we were on the road in no time.
