We needed a quick pit stop on a long road trip and this was the spot! Super clean, nice staff, felt safe pulling in later in the evening and breakfast was enough to get by in the morning, available from 6am-10am. Could not beat this spot for the price and what we needed it for!

Water pressure was nice.

I needed to break up the long I-5 drive so I stayed here, which is kinda in the middle of California. It was safe, clean, and free parking. Basic room to get the job done. Being a stone’s throw away from Anderson’s Pea Soup is a plus. Water pressure was noticeably powerful in a good way.
