One of my favorite TAs. Ive been coming here for years and have not been disappointed as of yet! The staff is friendly and helpful and this TA has always been clean and tidy. Inside and out. Including the parking area. Love coming here! Theres also a grocery store and an awesome diner within walking distance.

Great little TA. Very clean and friendly. The parking lot is nicely paved and level, room for 50-60 trucks. Great diner and restaurant close by and cheap fuel. If I ever comeback here Ill be staying here. Good job manager and staff!

0200 no one in the shop for service, both service trucks were parked in the shop, yet for some reason you cant handle 2 steer tires, pathetic at best for services, especially for an express T/A. Ill take my business elsewhere. 900.00 just walked out the door, due to your incompetent staff at night, I dont have time for your tire guy to get off the toilet, especially 30 minutes of waiting. Im in the business of making money and this place has wasted my time.

These are always great places to stop. Truck stops have showers and big bathrooms. They have game rooms and tools and other equipment. As with this one they are frequently paired with restaurants. They also have audio books and collectables. This one even has a Starbucks, but I completely missed it. This is a good place to stop.

Reasonable prices on gas, clean restrooms with a convenient store, Starbucks, Subway and Popeyes. Definitely worth the stop if you are looking for a good price on gas in the area.

Attention truckers...BEST shower I have come across in a long time. And that includes my own at home! Water pressure like its falling straight off the cliffs of Niagara Falls! Very clean and shower staff were fun and upbeat. Definitely saving this location for future trips by here!

The 1 star is for the water pressure in the shower. So, came here to fuel and rest up. I had a flat and went by the shop. They said it would be 3-4 hours. No problem, I am staying the night anyway. 6 hours later, no call to come in. 3 guys are talking outside talking. 2 more were laughing and talking in the shop. ONE truck in the entire building. There was even a four-wheeler car in there at one point. I have a picture! I walk in with my friend to get dinner, its 840pm. Popeyes says they are no longer cooking because they are soon closing. Then I go over to Subway. We stood there for 10 mins, other guests got up from dining to let various employees know we were there. At 855pm, the subway employee comes up and only have a few things left and I cant make hot food. We walked away at that point. So here is my point. When did we get to the point that customer service went away? When did basic manners stop mattering, even at work? Sure, i am just one unsatisfied customer, what does that matter to a national chain? Not very much, but I can do this: I will not be spending any money there anymore and I will not have anything nice to say when someone asks me for my opinion. Eventually, there wont be anyone left for you to disappoint. I will be emailing this to Popeys and Subway. I do have to make one note, all the employees of the TA store were very nice and even listened to my story. #popeyes #subway #tatravelcenter

Very nice. Exit 56 off I-95. Nice and clean, well stocked. My favorite is that it is easy off and on to highway. Some signs send you on town tours to get gas or coffee. Customer service on 6-15 @ 4:00 pm was excellent. Staff was great.

Has Popeyes for its predominate fast food. The place was wide open and proved to be a good layover stop. Works better if you use their apps. I Love their clean showers that come with a towel for your use.If you purchase large sums of diesel, the showers may be free!

My experience there was fine. JUST fine. The young man that took care of me was pleasant, but not overly friendly. I believe his name is Brian. The young man that works nights. .hes there after 12 midnight...hes extremely nice. Vety pleasant to talk to, even a 2 minute conversation about which gas pump Im at. I cant remember his whole name, but I know it starts with a J, & he wears those big rubber earrings. Very nice kid. My impression of the 2 cashiers is this...the kid I dealt with today, around 4pm (Brian), doesnt seem to like his job very much. But he was nice enough. The kid I see when I go there after I get outta work, seems to really enjoy the job, & is VERY pleasant.As for the store itself, every time I go there., day or night, this location is ALWAYS IMMACULATE!!! They need a better selection of snacks though. Maybe get an ICED COFFEE machine, too.

This place was one of the better T.As, (I prefer T.As to Flying Js and Loves) havent been in a little while most of the original staff for me has left. The tech shop is chill (3rd shift) Eric is an awesome guy really helpful.

Review №26

Every TA I have ever been into is crowded, dingy and embarrassingly overpriced. Expect to pay several dollars more for any restaurant that is inside. They usually have Popeyes, Taco Bell, Burger King and the like. What a stand-alone Popeyes charges $6 for, a TA Popeyes will charge $10.The items in the convenience store are equally overpriced. The aisles are jam-packed with displays and those cardboard stand up merchandisers. If you are desperate for a place to go to the bathroom, it is perfectly fine. The bathrooms are generally pretty clean. The showers are very nice, roomy and most have been recently redone.If you are in New England, New York or New Jersey, be prepared to pay to park. And be careful about purchasing fuel, because usually if you buy 50 gallons, you get free parking and a free shower. More and more, they are increasing the amount of fuel that you need to purchase to be able to park there. The TA in Bloomsbury New Jersey is up to 65 gallons for a free shower and free parking. I was at another one in New England and it required 100 gallons of fuel.

I spent $361 on fuel then another $10.50 on a few drinks and a snack in the store, I asked the girl for a bag to carry my things out and she tells me itll be 10 cents for a bag!!Never will I buy anything from this TA again.

Review №33

A convenient stop thats just off the highway. They have a good variety of food and things to buy. The place is always very clean. The staff is good, but generally not great. This may however be due to this being a trucker stop and the employees will mostly only speak when spoken to as they become much more welcoming at that point. The prices are average to above average for a rest stop. Parking is plentiful, so youll wont have to wait for a spot just about ever.

No hot food after 9:00 PM. They have 3 fast food restaurants. At least one has to be 24 hours but not here. Just the hot dogs and cold sandwiches. Bad place to try to get something to eat. No good. The personal nice and professional, clean. Thats it

One of the many upscale T/A travel stations, full service, nice showers with extra towels, so you dont have to ask, this one in particular has bigger towels than some, but felt like the good ol T/A Ive grown accustomed to. I have to un archive my Photos on the many different T/As Ive been too, mostly because of the views.

As far as location, convenience, and cleanliness of everywhere, but the bathrooms I give it 5 stars,l. The womens restroom either has terrible plumbing or a o one knows how to clean it. You could smell the stench from the hallway and I was gagging the whole time I was in there. I also had to get coolant and the guy at the shop definitely made me feel like an inconvenience. To sum up, not a great place for customer service or clean bathrooms, but VERY convenient.

Worst truck stop I’ve been to in a long time cashier was rude and after spending 15$ for a shower and buying 17$ worth of items from the store then I asked for a bag for my items she in returns says rudely it’s 10 cents for a bag. I laughed an got in my truck and made sure not to stop any more until I got out of Connecticut. SMDH

Review №59

❎ No toilet liners in the mens room and lack of even a dispenser indicating they were just out. The restroom had mens misses in every stall at around 6pm. Had these two issues (particularly the liners being available) I likely wouldve still given 5 stars.I bumped it up from a 2, to 3 star review, because when I went back inside and went to pay for the smallest soda fountain drink they offer, the cashier was very nice; saying Is that it?, Yes maam., Oh dont even worry about it this time. ... I appreciated the gesture. Im sure it was because she was there when I had bought a lot of retail merch earlier. (Im a professional driver.)

Review №93

Diner just across the street on the corner and a grocery store too. Very convenient if you want a fresh sit down meal at good prices.Inside the TA however, is a different story. Theyre fast food options are more expensive than even the service plaza, which is absolutely insane. Its almost $12 for just a two piece chicken meal from POPEYES!Telling me that its a truck stop just off the highway isnt a good enough excuse for such high prices, considering theres a reasonably priced Diner just across the street and at least four other truck stops I can name off the top of my head in Connecticut that are just off the highway with significantly lower food costs.Stop here to park your rig and get some fuel, then walk across the street for groceries and some good Connecticut diner food. But please dont buy from the TAs fast food restaurants inside dont encourage them...Ps its free truck parking which is a plus.

They really dont care about their customers, they tell you one time, then is another 10 hours in top of that and when they finally get to you is another 5 hours just for a pm service, there was this time when I was waiting for like 5 hours and when finally I was next the technician had to leave, because they had a road call and according to them those have priority and this they told me to my face unbelievable.
