Pilot Travel Center

Noemi is the best. When I’m lucky that she’s there, She makes my trip to this truck stop very pleasant ! She works at the subway but would do a great job running the entire pilot!! You guys have a gem of an employee! Take care of her !!

It's not as large as the other pilot pumps, but it is the busiest one for sure. The staff tackles with customer needs very well. The coffee and cinnabons are fresh and delicious. They have some reserved stops which you can pay for. Or they have free truck parking for several semi truck n trailers as well. They have 2 CAT scales. The washrooms are not the best you have seen but considering the number of customers using it, they are clean.

Who would have ever thought. That Truckers, had the Best coffee served to them, at a Pilot gas station. I stopped for my regular coffee, and got this surprise. I don't know how to use it, but that's my Next Cup of Coffee. Enjoy Truckers of The World.

Nice people and probably best travel stop in the area. Restrooms could use more attention.

I’ve gone here for a couple years now. And recently I have been seeing more hires, and it makes me so happy. Pilot is giving jobs to the less fortunate and homeless. And you can see some are making the difference and doing good. I just love this establishment.

Beware. Someone stole a tarp from my trailer on the night of February 9th. They cut the strap and walked away with a ($$$) blue tarp, custom made to cover jet engines. I noticed the strap was cut in the morning and replaced it, but didn't count my tarps. This truck stop isn't as safe as it looks

Amazing stop, nice clean shower..too busy for limited parking, clean place.

It's the people. They seem to like their job. This particular store is in a trucking mecca(Salad Bowl of America) and it's the only one. They could make it a total pay lot but they haven't. My last visit was just for coffee and a 30 min break. But it was a friendly greeting and a drive safely. And a Subway sandwich. It would be popular even if it was in a bunch of parking.

Literally the best chain of gas station/pit stops. You can take a shower if needed and they are always super clean restrooms and facilities. Great prices and being a rewarded member gives you 3c off each gallon... it adds up when your always on the road!

Good place.. Good service
.. Welcoming... Thanks...

Update: I want to bring this to management attention... I am thankful for the service this company provides.... The company is good company.. This update is for management to be careful with people they hires there. They keep customers change of customers not paying attention.. But one of the employee who works their is very shady. He kept my change of $5. When I came I for a shower of $15. I gave the guy $20. I should get back $5.. But in the receipt the guy enter only $15 .. And he didn't give my change back. I wasn't paying attention until after taking a shower that I look at it. I came to realized that he put in the system $15 when I gave him $20 .. So that the system doesn't register him a "short" at the end of the day... Which he will keep my $5 if I didn't pay attention.. This just an alert out there to customers when getting your change back.. But the manager was very nice, he able to help me with my problem.. Overall, I like the showers services.. I'm very thankful..

Super clean. Johnny and manager made a positive impact on my kids during a road trip through California Dec 21, 2020. The place is clean, gas prices are reasonable. This was a great place to fill up.

Came here with no gas to pick up a Western Union, but the Western Union wasn't working. (I was told it's often not working, so beware if you're coming for that). The reason for 5 Stars is the manager gave me a couple of bucks worth of gas to get to another Western Union. What a great gesture, and a wonderful example of superior customer service. Kudos.

Busiest gas station in Salinas I've seen so far. Prices are the best around. They also have showers there that can be purchased for discounts online if your traveling in need of washing up. Friendly, professional staff.

Best price in gas around Plus fast and efficient food Subway, showers clean and spacious, always the best price in cigarettes and gas, with Western Union available dear. I think that's enough for a great place to stop get what you need and get back on the road

Great place. Parking lot appeared to be clean. Finding parking here is super simple. They have sensors in the parking spaces which when logged into the pilot mobile app allows you to see available parking in real time.

Usually the cheapest fuel in town, except for a few stations that offer cheap cash prices. My go to spot for fuel as it is open 24 hours, and generally clean. Parking lot lighting needs improvement and Salinas Police Department needs to deal with the large number of homeless that frequents the store as they beg from the customers getting fuel.

Pilot was so clean and the aisles are clearly marked. There happened to be a really nice guy on the floor stocking. My grand daughter and I ask for cookies and he showed me everyone in the place. Lol. What a nice guy.

A bit off the freeway. But easy access. Big trucks have a sperate entrance and exit. Traffic is well separated. Gas is freeway prices no surprise there.
Restrooms are clean and well stocked.

Friendly service offers big variety of products even power converters...would say it's the right truck stop to stop by even if you're not a trucker. Even offers clean showers. Even if you just need to wash your hands it offers you black cherry scent gojo hand cleaner & degreaser with works awesome!👍

This gas station has it all. It has the most creative as seen on tv type products for your cars or trucks like portable warmers and different types of toasters and microwaves and so many different snakes and drinks. They have showers and awesome pastrys. This place is a very cool gas station slash rest stop slash truck stop.
