stopped to get gas and swiped my card. realized it was not the correct gas for my car and cancelled the transaction on the pump. the transaction did not cancel and my card was charged for the next persons gas. No help from loves to resolve this, even though they have cameras that show this is what happened. I will never stop at another Loves because of this.

As with so many others of these Love's Travel Stops, this one is located right next to the interstate. In this case, I-90 between Rochester and La Crosse. It is consistent with others too. Easy access, brightly lit and clean pump area, room for parking.Inside, clean restrooms were nice to see. The convenience store is stuffed with all sorts of snacks and drinks, coffee and slushees, hot dogs and other rolled meats, fountain drinks.It's a good stop.[Review 17167 overall - 82 in Minnesota - 684 of 2022.]

Only ever really buy beef jerky and gas from love's but both are bomb. You should try it.Bathroom Rating: 6/10Plenty of stalls, clean inside, fully filled with TP and seat covers, mellow music. Not much more to ask for in a gas station bathroom imo. Not a huge fan of the foot gap above and below the doors. Automatic sinks and paper towel dispensers ensure you don't have to touch the door on the way out, all in all, would recommend this bathroom.

Generally speaking, 'big name' travel stops/travel centers such as Loves, Pilot, Flying J, are names well-known for franchise-like sameness and consistency...cleanliness, brands/type of coffee offered, layout of the store, etc. But the Loves in St Charles, MN bucks that trend in an unfortunate way. Stopping there on the afternoon of July 23, 2021, someone had spilt a large quantity of coffee on the carpet mats in front of the coffee dispensers, so you got that nice squishy feeling when stepping up to the dispensers. Now I understand that accidents happen, but when an employee came to deal with the mess, they didn't even put down any orange cones to warn people of the slip/trip/fall hazard. Of course, since the spill was the size of a small lake, I guess it could be considered obvious that there was a mess on the floor, but standard operating procedure is a warning device/sign of some sort on the floor when something like that happens. Uncleaned counter areas around the powdered creamer and sugar dispensers with numerous flies buzzing around was a nice touch as well. $1.98 for a small coffee seemed plenty high; add the scald-the-roof-of-your-mouth temperature and that overheated, uncleaned coffee dispenser taste, and you're in for a coffee-drinking experience bar none. Then let's talk gas/diesel islands. Diesel is much more oily than gasoline, so the pump dispenser handles tend to get dirtier/slimier more quickly than their gasoline counterparts. On the truck fuel islands, this is somewhat of an expected norm, as most truck drivers put on a pair of gloves to protect their hands when fueling their big rigs. (Many years of over-the-road trucking experience myself)But on the car side, the typical automobile motorist getting out of their VW Jetta or Audi diesel or whatever, would not be prepared for slimy, greasy, unkempt mess appearing to be a diesel pump dispensing nozzle. In this area of Minnesota, the Quik Trip stores are a giant amongst convenience store/travel center businesses, and I can say I have yet to get a burnt, scalded, dishwater-tasting cup of coffee at any of them, at any time of the day. From past experiences at a number of Loves locations, I know these conditions are not typical, or at least weren't typical in past visits at different locations. This one is one I would not even remotely consider stopping at again.
