Pilot Travel Center - Oakland

The staff seemed uninterested in being there; they did their jobs, but it was clear they weren't enthused. The showers also weren't always clean, so be sure to bring your shower shoes! And I wouldn’t recommend looking at the light fixtures—they were quite grimy. The only reason I'm giving it three stars is that the pizza was genuinely good.

There is plenty of truck parking available, and it doesn't fill up until quite late. I deducted one star because the laundry machines are in poor condition. They are dirty inside and out, and they have a musty smell. Unfortunately, my clothes came out smelling worse than when I put them in. It's surprising, considering the rest of the store is very clean. Additionally, one of the dryers ate my money.

Overall not to bad. The showers suck. Very hard water. Lot isn't perfect but you should find parking.

Half-empty parking on a weekend? and these are the type of people to wake you up because you?re in a ?Reserved? spot. Absolutely pathetic. Converted an inordinate amount of spots to ?Reserved? and enforcing them when there?s a ton of free space, and itdoesn?t matter where anyone parks. But when it comes to having cleanliness or buckets of soap water for windshield washing,there?s no time to do that for them apparently.

I really appreciate the spacious parking lot and the stunning views of the tree-covered hills surrounding this location. While the staff might not appear overly enthusiastic about their work, they are efficient in getting the job done. The store is generally clean and offers a wide range of items, from clothing to nearby restaurants. However, families may want to note that there is an adult-themed Love Store located in the same parking lot as Pride and Pilot, which might not be suitable for everyone.
