TA Travel Center in Willington, CT on I-84 at Exit 71 is a full-service stop ready to fuel trips with Shell gas or diesel 24/7. It offers sparkling clean restrooms, laundry, and shower facilities, though the showers are noted as small, outdated, or a bit cramped. Travelers can sit down and eat at Country Pride or grab fast food at Burger King or Dunkin Donuts Express. The store is clean and well-stocked with grab-and-go meals, snacks, and drinks. There is a fenced-in dog area and a little gym room with massage chairs.
For professional drivers, there are 240 truck parking spaces. The lot is nice and usually has open spots, but all parking is paid with only the first two hours free; parking is free with a 60-gallon fuel purchase. The paid parking setup is a frequent point of criticism. Drivers can also use the driver’s lounge, a CAT scale, and visit TA Truck Service for maintenance. While the fuel island and staff are solid, a common con is that trash cans can be overflowing.
