    Better get a medical check up if stay there. I could not get a nights sleep cause of the ladys knocking on my door. Restrooms were dirty, fuel pumps were slow and the silverware was dirty. All in all STAY AWAY!!!

    Stayed at the hook # 104 on 95 last night. Not bad, just well used and worn out (showers, restrooms). Good night sleep without interuption. Nice staff.

    TA in Balmer - once # 10 years ago. Never again - real hole.

    I don't like Love's and most Pilots mainly because of lack of parking and a poor choice of food. There are two Pilots I didn't mind stopping at. One was in Rice Valley,Or. exit 148 and the one in Jamestown,NM. The reason was the restraunt at Rice Valley was decent and the one at Jamestown had a good size parking lot.

    I have to say i'm a big fan of Love's. There is always something good on sale. The showers are excellent. Things overall are reasonably priced compared to other truckstops. The McDonalds are among the best and Arbys is cool too. They are a little light on parking but on average still at least 6% moe spots than pilot locations. They basicly took the Pilot formula and tweaked it a bit.

    They closed the restaurant at Rice Valley. It's just a Subway there now.

    I hate pilots, dont care fore loves to much also because of the poor choice in food. I mean come on we are a fat nation and they stick these greasy high in fat chain food like micky D's and arbys and wendys. Talk about waking up at 3 an running to the can. The only business I give pilots is fuel because thats the majority of fuel stops for the company im with. But I prefer big ma an pop stops, petro, then hooks, then ta, then loves, then peelots at the bottom...... But if you can survive on fast food and crabby people and cramped tight parking lots than pilots and loves are where that stuff is at.
