TA's new showers

Good job TA! I'll have to agree the last few TA's I was at had great showers.

 

I agree also with this thread!

Try the showers at the TA in New Braunfels, Texas. Its just north of San Antonio.

The shower was identical to the OP about Denton. You walk in and find everything in a fancy basket (towel, cloth, cloth bathmat) along with 2 cups and a couple mints. There was also flowers on the counter.

Towels were orangish colored and room was beige/tan/sandy colored.

I don't use TA's much being a company driver we fuel at Pilot's and Love's mainly. Every now an then I get Emergency Fuel at a TA/Petro. We use the TA's for service work though if not near a company shop.

I paid $10 at the kiosk that night for a shower in New Braunfels, TX and it as worth it. Did not leave a tip and probably should have but at least I paid cash and didnt use my reward card.

 

Just not having to ask for an extra towel (that previously may or may not have had nap left to it) is a great thing...but TA really has stepped it up. I called them earlier on their customer service line and gave a verbal high-five.

 

the AI at the Pilot in East St. Louis, IL is up and running as well, i wonder whats going on, I thought they went out of bissness...

IdleAir (no "e" in this reincarnation) got some new investment money through the bankruptcy court. So the bad business idea that wouldn't die is resurrected. The parking nazis are back in business - for now. Whatcha think? 18 months before they go belly up again?

 

I was talking about that stop with a friend of mine. He said that the guy that owns Blue Beacon had that as a franchise from Petro, and I'm assuming that the franchise fees have gone up with the TA purchase of Petro, and he decided to take it independent. Somewhat like those 4 former Petro, current Flying J's on the east coast did.

 

I love the showers at the T/A in Ontario, CA. I'm not thrilled with the $10 shower/ $20 parking fee, but I still plan on coming back here when I'm officially on the road just because the showers were so nice. Same orangish towels (two), washcloth, soap, cup, and mint. I haven't seen a dirty one yet and I've always found the staff to be exceptional.

Okay, stoopid noob question: how much do you tip for showers?

 

Iam use everytime ta/petro 1.ta/petro .2 loves after nothing. My fuel only ta and petro last year i have more then 44000 points for my card,free showers free parking and more.the showers were good ,space 2 towels and shampoo.
