I had a very scary and traumatic experience here. In the restroom, the sharps/needle disposal is…read moremounted on the wall directly behind the door. It was overflowing, uncovered, and not clearly marked. My young daughter reached for it and poked herself with a needle while i helped my other daughter in the restroom. I didnt see it because there were no visible signs it was covered by the door and i had my daughter stand next to it while she waited for us. We spent 4 hrs in the ER and now we have to do more testing. To make things worse, the staff had no idea what to do. No one apologized or offered any real help. One employee even tried to open the sharps container with just one glove on -- showing a complete lack of training on how to handle biohazards. If staff don't know how to manage this safely, why even have it accessible? This is a serious safety hazard and needs to be addressed immediately. Parents, please be careful. I left my information at the gas station no one has bothered to call us.

The Pilot Travel Center in Salinas is often one of our stops as Dear Hubby and I traverse up and…read moredown Highway 101. It's kept clean, the gas is fairly priced compared to competitors, and the cashiers are usually friendly. They keep making improvements - subtle and otherwise - to their food / beverage area to the left as you enter the shop. It's like a mini-mart on steroids as far as the options that are available in the organized aisles. The also have just about every kind of beverage you can imagine. Their snack and quick meal choices are where they keep making changes and improvements. One highlight is that they seem to stock every kind of condiment one might want, whether it's flavored creamers for the coffee, or toppings for hot dogs. It seems like someone put a lot of thought into offering choices that people actually like and use at home, instead of cheaping out with generic and minimal offerings. The restrooms get a lot of use, but are usually well stocked with essentials and kept as clean as possible. The center is shared by passenger vehicles and big rig trucks, but it's laid out in such a way that they don't intersect and get in each other's way. This seems to be a well-run establishment.

Prices are ok for a gas station stop for bottled drinks compared to other places I've been. I also like coming here because the price of gas is usually lower than other spots I've passed up on the 5.

They said hello right away, offered help without waiting to be asked, yet never seemed irritated or in a hurry, which is rare at roadside spots. All things considered, this spot felt relaxed, simple to pull into and leave, somewhere I'd happily visit once more. Without doubt, among the top-tier Love's I've seen

Unfortunately, the women's restroom was not in great condition during our visit. The toilets were dirty, there was toilet tissue all over the floor, and there were no seat covers available. I'd recommend bringing your own seat covers or wipes, and making sure you grab tissue before using the restroom just in case. Honestly, great place to grab snacks and drinks... but you may want to use the restroom somewhere else nearby instead.
