“Solid spot for truckers looking for a place to rest. There are 8 spaces, but you’ll want to arrive before midnight as it tends to fill up late. The lot is well-lit and quiet, making it a good choice for overnight parking. No showers, no Wi-Fi, but there’s a restaurant within walking distance. Stay warm and safe out there, and enjoy the road!”

“Kane, Pennsylvania Kwik Fill is actually one of the nicest ones in about a 30 to 45 mile radius. They have excellent customer service. The bathroom is located on the side left front of the building and it is always exceptionally clean, inside, outside, at the fuel & air pumps. The manager is a really nice kid, he's very easy to talk to and is doing an amazing job managing this location. All of the other staff are very good at their jobs, very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. They have a very small store so there's not much for a few colors of food and stuff on a couple of shelves. They usually always have hot fresh delicious coffee ready from open to close. Heck, pay these gentlemen a visit because they are a full service station during the day. There is only 1 handicap space available I do believe however, they are wheelchair accessible. And if you have physical problems they are always happy to pay and retrieve your products in the store and deliver them to your car!!”
