Ok all! This should be fun and interesting topic. Let's get a perspective on some of the best and worst truck stop/travel plaza's/fuel stops around the country.
Try to specify the name, location and reason for voting such.
Since I have not been long haul for awhile, I am having to dig deep in the memory banks for this.
One of my favorite stops, is up on I-40, just west of Albuquerque, NM, Exit 126 if I remember correctly. The Sky City Casino and Travel Plaza - loads of parking, clean showers, friendly atmosphere, good food. and the free $5.00 when you show your CDL at the customer service desk in the Casino.
Worst, Everett, WA - Everett Fuel Stop, it was not on I-5, but a secondary road parelling it. Crappy parking lot, Nasty, and I mean nasty showers, a 19" TV with only local channels for entertainment, and it stunk (there was a fish plant or something nearby). Although the little restaurant next door served up a hearty breakfast. I got stuck there after running out of hours, extended trip into Canada, and could not make it legally to the TA/Seattle East Truck Stop.
I have more, will post after this gets going. Later
