“This Pilot Travel Center was really nice. The bathrooms were clean, the gas pumps were well maintained, and everything was easy to get to. We stopped to get gas and some food and drinks for the road. There was a good selection, and the prices were reasonable for a convenience store. The staff was super friendly, and the whole stop was quick, clean, and convenient. Overall, it was a great place to take a break while traveling!”

“It was rainy and I really thought I could hold it until I reached Baltimore, but the gas pump did not print out my needed receipt so I had to go in anyway. I am very leery about gas station bathrooms but this one was, really, pretty great. (Sorry, no photo as I didn't have my phone on me.) As I went to the register to retrieve my gas receipt I said how nice the bathrooms were. The cashier was talking to a local and the local said that she's heard they were nice. She strode off to take a look and I heard her exclaiming about them. So, based on bathrooms alone, 4 stars. Gas was relatively cheap, too.”
