“We have purchased fuel here many times without a problem, prices are competitive with Denver and the area. The snack and drink selection is small but it is mainly there to get fuel. The only thing I don't like is that it is tight getting around the back to get out, especially if you are a long vehicle or pulling a trailer. Other than that it is a great place to fill the tank.”

“I really enjoy coming to this store. The only thing that is absolutely horrible are the cheap lids that don't even stay on your cups. If I were you I would just bring your own cup with a lid.”

“This is a great truck stop to stay at overall. We stayed nearly 3 days over a holiday weekend. It has a very large parking lot; arrived on a busy Saturday afternoon and were still able to get a good parking spot close to the store. The staff was all very friendly and helpful, made us feel welcome. I wish the bathrooms had been a bit larger; only 4 stalls in the women’s room; not enough for a super busy location with a lot of parking, and it only appeared to have been cleaned about twice the whole time I was there. Still adequately clean, nothing disgusting. Just not a big and sparkling clean as most Love’s locations I’d been to. 3 washers and dryers in the laundry room, plenty of chairs in there too. 7 showers; since it was a busy holiday weekend there was a near constant wait for showers. We got in the shower queue around 12:45 pm and there was about 10 people in front of us. It took us an hour and 20 minutes to get our showers, which was right within the 60-90 min estimate. By the time we got our showers there were 15 people in line behind us. You could tell the employees were working hard to clean them quickly though; they were calling out showers every 10-15 minutes as soon as they were available. I would avoid the Chester’s chicken; the chicken and potato wedges sit under the heat lamp for hours at a time and are all dried out and rarely fresh. The McDonald’s was great; will leave a separate review for them. Would recommend this Love’s location and stay again.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
