Great clean place. On the fountain pop they had Coke zero and diet coke. They do have a lot of diabetic friendly options. Splenda and fresh fruit. They also have a pretty big dog park. They had Subway, Chester's chicken, and a Godfather's pizza to go. I had the all meat pizza it was good. He had the jalapeno cheddar hot dogs. He said they were great. Friendly staff.

Very rude crew at 23:30 May 12 2024. First the young man yelled across the store for me to go to the other resistor. What I wanted was only at the car side, behind the resistor. Then he argued me down that they just didn't stock it on the truck side today. Then the young lady tile me the only way they open bags is to lick their fingers so their spit gives them better grip on the bags. Just nasty. I don't know where he mouth has been. Not the best loves experience.

Great location right of the highway. Food, clothing, toys, showers and much more.

Looking at the reviews- They must've had good management at one time. But in the last 6 months the reviews have gone downhill.There's a blizzard outdoors. Roads are treacherous. Trucks are parked literally everywhere. Where I'm parked there is no 'no parking' sign. I'm on my 10 hour break. And a Loves worker beats on my door and very rudely says- You need to move. I went inside to speak to a manager whom tells me- Go park on the other side of the bridge. (You can't do that. There are 2 places that are private property.) Then I said- I'll call your GM and get just said- Go ahead. I also said- I'd planned to buy fuel here when I got up. But not now. And he didn't care about that either.There are trucks parked in front of some 'no parking' signs and they didn't make them move. Not to mention- There was a Loves tanker parked in the fire lane.

Stopped for dog park, which was great. Ran inside for food and beverage - stood at counter for at least 5 minutes. The girl who walked past me on my way to the counter never came back. I left without a purchase. Get a second cashier. You lost a sale. And a customer.

Poor customer service tonight. Nobody working the front desk to check out a fountain drink. One finally shows up and tells me he doesn't have a register drawer asking if I can walk to the back. Cashier in the back is busy with another customer having an issue. The other guy pays no attention to me back there. When the lady finally is done with the other guy she stares off into space doesn't greet me or act interested in helping.

The shower room should have been cleaned. Shaved hair in the sink, toilet has bootie dust and hair along with something else. The side of toilet hadn't been cleaned in a pretty good while from the looks of it. There was a huge toenail on the floor along with little trash and dust under the bench. Only good thing is that the actual shower was clean and very hot.

Everything is high priced. Convenient though. They got lots of stuff. Costly. The McDonald's attached is run well. Food always hot and fast

This location deserves better than a 1 star but here's why I rated it such.Facility was clean. Parking was great. Staff was courteous. Also hot food was available at 1am when I finally got off the road.Downside. The shower water smells like recycled sewage water that wasn't recycled. When I brought this to the attention of the staff all I was told was," We know." No apologizes. No refund for the noxious, gag inducing smell left covering my body. I'm astounded they not only still charge knowing this, but the smell definitely indicates something is in the water.Now the real question is, given I smelt the same thing coming from the tap, is the same water being used for making the food at the connecting Chesters and also the beverage fountain/ice machines?Quite disgusted by the whole experience after reporting my issue.

I managed to take my truck to their shop due to an engine light on, they told me they were going to check it after half an hour, mechanic came and said he didn't know how to work the computer, he said I had to wait till the next morning. The next morning they literally throw me out of the gas station, they refused to check it and do any repairs. They were very rude and offensive including the manager. Quite frustrated with the situation since the weather conditions were at -20, and my truck was frozen.

Place is clean and the workers are friendly even at six o'clock in the morning. There was plenty of food to choose from, every thing was stocked up.

Was told that I had to wait 45 minutes for a shower “to let the water heat back up “ ? Maybe it’s true but I think just telling me that and letting me get into the shower room would be fine. Most of us shave ect before showering anyways. Also the time is 13:17 no one is even at this truck stop.

More than once have I had to get my paid shower room cleaned a second time. This is unacceptable by far. These are high traffic areas in which the customer is intimately interacting with this area. With a deadly virus going around we put a lot of trust in your hands. And to see this is scary and also could be fatal to someone's loved one who is out here working on the road to take care of them etc. Management needs to address this stat. 5/12/21 dried up urine and feces on and in the toilet 10:45 am

They never have paper at the pumps. If I wanted to go in, it would be different, but when I am in a hurry, I would like a recpt instead of going in and having to wait to get one.

Super clean restrooms with large, roomy stalls. New look compared to all the other Love’s I’ve seen. Nice selection of takeout.

This Love's is *awesome.* My son and I were stranded here for a week, and had to stay in our truck until we could get a tow home. They were so friendly and very graciously allowed us to stay here with no issues. The store is clean, with everything you could need during travel. Thank you so much for having us!!

The subway here doest even know how to heat the food properly. My experience was not great as a whole at this facility. Go up the road to a different place. Don't waste your time or money.

I get it, no one wants to work on Saturday of a holiday weekend. But the four guys in the shop. Have no business being in customer service. I've never seen such disrespect and grandiose character. They simply refused to talk to you like you might know a thing or two. On the other hand the store crew was extremely friendly and helpful.

Slow motion service center. 5 workers standing around joking while a lobby with customers wait. Prepare to spend a day or two for low quality repairs. Can you find what went wrong with this wire repair? It lasted 500 miles before shorting out.

Never get your tires done here. I had a flat tire with nail on it. They took 2 hours to fix it and at the end they put extra air and blew it up so they can put a new tire and rip money. My tire was brand new

Water in the shower stinks so bad. Even after a couple of bad reviews from a month ago, they did nothing about it. Don’t take any drinks from here, they use same water for them.

Shouldn’t be set up to business if you don’t have consistent power, rude people in the store

I was very pleased with how big the parking lot was it is very easy to back up a semi truck. The showers were clean and spacious it looks like they are brand new. I thought it was pretty cool that you can play some slot machines if you want to and it pays real money not store credit.

Everyone is so nice here. I had been driving all day and was pleasantly surprised how kind the staff are here. So happy I decided to take the exit I did.

If you want to use there shower. Strictly no because water stinks so bad even though all drinks stinks so bad. Be careful guys that would be dangerous for health and skin too
