Loves Travel Stop in other cities:
Truckers pass this one by if you can! Semi Parking fills up early. Dont park in non-designated areas (even if youre not in the way of other traffic) Its not like I was sleeping on the fuel island! Rude employee will knock numerous times. They dont care that there is no where to go or that youre out of hours. Then they threaten calling tow truck. BTW bathrooms are dirty
This establishment served as a typical bathroom break during a 3-hour haul back to our home. I grabbed a few items as usual for the road trip, a couple of lottery tickets, and some high quality H2O for my crew of road warriors. The place was clean, the vibe was welcoming and the customer representatives were all about customer service. A win-win in my book and will keep folks like me returning for years to come. A great stop for anyone whos traveling through these parts of the state. Even more welcoming was the holiday music being pumped throughout the store. Great job!
They are extremely strict on parking. Made us move from a save spot, that wasnt a fire zone or unsafe to the worst case dead end road that they offered as overflow parking its a dead end road that they sent 10 trucks to at the same time and it became a comple cluster fudge! We didnt know it was a dead end... we all got stuck and slept for the night as shown in the pictures. Several trucks backed out and left behind me. But I was stuck. I called to tell the store to not send anymore trucks and the lady that answered was annoyed. We were fine where we were parked. Theres not enough parking around Atlanta. We were all loves customers that spent over $500 on fuel, but got thrown out like bums. Its inhumane and rude. But they do it in a polite manner. But it is absurd.
The dog park has two runs and actually had bags in one. Didnt help some dog owners but we picked up more than our share just for other responsible owners that dont like to step in it. Our five hate stepping in it as much as we do so thanks loves for supplying the bags and thanks to those that pick up after their dogs when you have to bring your own bags just in case.
A mail worker came walking through the Subway restaurant told the person sitting there to get the f out jokingly and walked him back of the restaurant a woman with black hair at Subway was putting cheese on top of the bread to getting ready to bake I had asked her for a scoop of tuna 1 million size ball she said she would charge me for a whole half of sub I cant eat any other vegetables anything else I waited and after a few minutes she just kept doing her thing I told her honey you could keep your tuna LOL apparently customers dont come first you know before these places became travel centers they were truck stops I think they all need to realize that were on a 30 minute break and sometimes we dont even get that I quit going to Lowes cuz theyre squeegees are horrible something simple like that losing all money and gas and now I dont even go there unless I have to believe me I wont go back to that one ha I will state it effing out not a problem dude Happy New Year
Loves has never let us down. This one is in Adairsville georgia. We travel with a fifth wheel so we need space to refuel. I pull with a big gasser not a diesel. Great space easy in and out. This was the best Subway we have ever been to. We will pass this way again and will stop here.
Stopped at the Subway. Ordered 2 sandwiches. When I went to pay I was told they do not take coupons or use the Subway app for payment. NO WHERE was a sign posted saying they do not take coupons or the app!!!! We were told it was because they were owned by Loves. On the way out I noticed the Burger King also in Loves had mobile pickup parking spots! So 1 restaurant uses their app and the other does not!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!!
The whole countrys turned into greedy price gouging and loves is the top-of-the-line thats my story and Im sticking with her their fuel stops up fuel injectors if you Park its a good spot to get your hood run over the steering wheel holders these companies are hiring nowadays they all gather at loves the scary place I try to stay out of there okay Ill shut up if youre lucky
Update...Become my Regular Stop..Love my LovesLaundry.✔Good Showers.✔Friendly ppl.✔Lots of parking.✔Good food.✔1 year ago...The shop was great. No upsell!Valves on my air tanks were stuck open. Replaced and tested. Down the road I went..Mechanics are awesome. Had everything from mudflaps to DOT done here. Dont price gauge.
To be clear I am docking this location 1 star because the sewage dump station is too high and we could not dump. This travel center is clean, has an awesome dog park plenty of space for an rv towing a car and you can refill your propane. The only down side is that our class c moterhome has a low sewer dump and the dump site was at least a 8 inches above the ground. We could not dump because it just wont travel up hill. If it was recessed in the ground it would be better... I am sure the tow behind trailers and large class A Motorhomes would have no issues.
This Loves’ isn’t too bad. The store is clean and well lit with a parking lot that’s small and uniquely shaped to allow for easy parking. They do have a Speedco here for light truck service & repairs. This is not a place for oversized loads that are long/wide (>13’ width), but can accommodate car haulers because the curb height is low (
I give the Loves itself a 5 star review but the Burger King there I give a 3 star. The last 5 times I have gotten food there the order was either wrong or cold. And I went through the drive thru every time. If you get wood there check everything on your order before leaving.
Rolling up to this Loves it shows I have 2 drink and shower credits on the app! I love their tamales so I stop. I go in and their out of tamales. Darn, so I get egg rolls instead and coffee. Their also out of coffee stirrers, and the sweet and sour sauce for my egg rolls but at at least I get my 2 free drinks I think. NOPE WRONG!! They tell me my 2 free drink credits on the app somehow went from 2 to 1 once I got into the store are for refills only! Even though the app clearly shows a cup of beverage and says drinks not refills. I had to bring my own cup to get my free drink promised. The manager told me to call the customer # to get help. So I walk all the way back to the truck and realize not only was the 2 free drinks promised on the app not honored but they ALSO charged me for 2 drinks when I only got 1 (which was originally suppose to be free)! So I was charged for 2 drinks that were suppose to be free. I had to walk all the way back from the truck parking back in to get Jerry the manager to fix it. Ill have my refund hopefully in a few days... THIS BY FAR WAS THE WORST VISIT IVE HAD AT ANY TRUCK STOP!!!Go to Pilot where this doesnt happen! When you earn a free drink you dont have to bring your own cup to get it! No hassle!
My husband works for Loves, and they are an absolutely amazing company. They treat their employees just like family. They are incredibly understanding and work with you to help you and your family. The mechanics shop manager Matt Jarrod and the store manager Scott are both incredibly nice and have exceptional customer service skills. Im very happy my husband is a part of this wonderful community.
Giving this 3☆s because the store itself was clean and well stocked with great selections of snacks prepared foods and hot and cold drinks.The bathrooms on the other hand were lacking g attention. They need toilet liners and toilet paper, hand soap dispensers were empty. Garbage cans overflow.Loves has always been my stop of choice when traveling and still is but this one needs a little love.
This place is horrible, specially the night shift they are lazy, I just got one of my trailer tire whos loosing air I went to that place to just fixe it or get some air on the the tire,my tire was a brand new tire that I replaced last week ,you know what they did?they put a big hole on the tire and telling me that the tire need to be replace,I drove 400 miles from Virginia to Georgia on it without any problem, stay away from this place or when they doing something on your truck you got to pay attention on what they doing, Im not going back to do any work done to that place.
This location was a gift from God. I was traveling with 2 pups who started to freak out to get off the road, this location was close by and to my surprise they had a gated doggy area! Got the pups some play time and some water and the provided spicket in the area, and they were so pleased they easily jumped back into the truck to finish the road trip. Thank you Loves, great addition!
This is the only loves Ive ever been to that will call the cops on you for parking if it isnt an actual spot. Theres plenty of room to pay that isnt bothering anyone. The staff here is on a power trip here. Unfortunately truck stops arent for the drivers. The trucks keep Loves in business but you can clearly see this staff could careless about the drivers.
My experience is two-part. First thing is, my car blew a tire right on the exit 310 ramp. I called my dad for help and when he came he wasn’t able to get the lug nuts off. I asked him to drive to Love’s to see if anyone would be able to come help. (Understanding that it’s not their job, but I was hopeful.) Within a few minutes a Love’s employee named Blake pulled up and told me that he normally doesn’t work on cars as he’s a diesel mechanic. He also mentioned that he took a break at work to come help me change my tire. It only took him a couple of minutes to change it. He was a hero to me (and my two small kids) today!!! Thankful he took the time to come out and help.The second part of my review is about the store itself. Once we got back on the road, we went in to use the bathroom and get some snacks. It couldn’t have been cleaner and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. Snacks were fairly priced, too. We will definitely be stopping by anytime we are in the area and in need of gas/food.
I used to love this place but not anymore. Less than an hour ago, I stopped there to get fuel and with in 3 minutes before I even get out of my truck someone knocked my windows and said you have been here for 10 minutes, get fuel or leave. I said I just got here. No respect. I was upset didnt even get fuel and i left
This has to be the best Loves Ive ever been at. As a truck driver, cleanliness, selection of items, hot food and parking are very important. This Loves has it all. Burger king and Subway are available. The shower was clean, top to bottom. Laundry room was up to date, well maintained and all working. Staff was very friendly and genuinely in a good mood. Great place to spend your 10.
We had to wait over 1 hour to get showers due to slow cleaning and attitude from the staff. Then when I got into my shower room there was hair all over the floors and there was still soap in the shower from the previous person. So... Im guessing they didnt clean at all, likely they just changed out the towels. I will add a couple of photos. Also why is no one ever at the fuel desk??? This is so annoying!!! I definitely wont be back!!
Its hit our miss if you are going to get good service as a partially disabled driver. The burger king is not owned by loves and your not going to get loves to say anything when the burger king does wrong. they make to much money off the bk to care how they treat the customers even though it can cost the stores money.
One of the better and cleaner Loves travel truck stops what I have visited. The people are friendly, and the store looks very new and is fully stocked. Lots and lots of parking places for cars and trucks. The location offers also gas, truck repair, and many other things.
The store is very similar to the pilot stores in the variety of items that they have for sale. In addition, they have several eating setups in their dairy Queen I believe and cafeteria style hot food menu. Prices on items were reasonable and theres a huge selection to choose from for all your needs. Masks were required and social distancing and other covid-19 procedures were followed.
I wouldnt want to have a birthday party here, obviously; however, being a single girl in travel status, I do prefer this stop. It is convenient off and back on the interstate and I feel very safe regardless if it is day or night. VERY CLEAN! Wide variety of items. Need some type of phone accessories to hold you over....this is your stop.
We pulled into Loves because we were out of fresh water. They list RV Dump Station as a service. Yes, you can pay $10 to dump however NO potable water! Even asked inside thinking maybe they had a spicket. Nope, no potable water! The 2 should definitely go hand in hand. So still have no fresh water.
Another Loves that could not do a DOT inspection. 👎 They did allow me to utilize their air chuck and hose so I wouldnt hold up a fuel lane. Shop has friendly enough staff.Something was off with the store staff.Couldnt put my finger on it and yes, I was wearing my stupid mask.
Its what you expect from a Loves travel station, all kinds of gas station food and drinks in there, along with needless merchandise.That being said, the sanitation of this place seem to be lacking, floor was sticky, parking lot was littered with trash.But you can get gas, get some liquid refreshment, and be on your way fairly quickly.
Loves is a very nice store and very nice employees.There was an employee that helped me with my car the battery terminal was broken and he went out of his way and bought one for me and replaced it for me.I just wanna give a big thanks to him. I could only get his first name off his uniform.Thanks Brendan
So in case you havent stopped at one of these if your crazy and decide to travel across states loves stations are invaluable for arriving at your destination without feeling like uncooked bacon in the sun for three days. This particular one has a very friendly staff. They have showers that are a little spendy, but after two days on the road, you might start to offend your own sensitivities. If not stop off because your probably offensive to someone else 8). Frequented by true road warriors that keep our economy running, they might not be used to getting the car Traveller as that went out of style years ago. The facilities here are clean and decently modern.
The old guy Working at Subway He touch the register Collect money Then goes and fix your food And has the attitude with customers Need to be more clean when you fix somebodys food You cant touch your mask Touch everything and then fix somebodys food That goes for Burger King as well If they gonna continue doing that Im not gonna buy here
Staff allowed customers to enter without masks. Staff had masks on but stated that they werent asking any customers to place masks on n wouldnt be asking them to leave especially if they didnt wear masks. Covid will never end n people will continue to get sick and or die if everyone dont do their part. Staff was really nice in spite of this.
The shop is a joke. Was told it was a couple hour wait to get a tire. Couple hours later I get a call asking if I was going to be here all night. When I said yes she said good she was going to make me wait till the next shift then (another 1 1/2 hours) so they could take out trash. Looks like TA will be getting my business for truck repairs from now on.
Disappointed:Stopped at the Burger King drive-thru at Loves for a Saturday lunch on the way to Calhoun. Not pleased with the result. The burgers in the slider-sized cheeseburgers were chewy (over-cooked?) and the skipped an order of fries. When did BK downsize cheebuggers?
Not A bad place,just wish that they had more truck parking at all there stops.we really need a lot of xtra parking in this whole country,there just isnt enough places to sleep safely out here.but we drivers really appreciate the nice clean showers and stores you provide us drivers,keep up the great work loves..kudoos..
The single star is because this Loves was very clean. Otherwise, the level of rudeness was too much to ignore. The shower attendant, Tess, was reluctant to give me an extra towel and told me if yall dont stop stealing the towels youll have to dry off with your clothes. The next morning, the cashier insisted we prepay for our refills, completely ignoring the requests for items we asked to purchase. It was an overall, offputting experience and we will push to get to Ringgold from now on!
I love my ugly little doglins but sometimes when Im traveling, they get to be a pain in the (you know where) so I was relieved to see this stop has a fenced in dog park! Two small sections too so my precious Gizzards and Krickets have no reason to soil themselves with the commonality of your peasant canines! Begon with you I say!! Begone!!! sorry I get carried away. . . anyway, they had plenty of stocked shelves and clean aisles. Also! Thank you to Mickey Warriner for you assistance in the bathroom! I couldnt have done it without you buddy!
The only reason I’m posting as 2 stars is cause the wash machines are broken... both of them. No idea when they will be fixed. Crazy how this place is so new it doesn’t even show up on satellite view and stuff is already broken. If I was the manager I’d be calling the supplier having them come and get this broken pos and replace it and if they couldn’t do it same day go out to Lowe’s or Home depot and get a substitute for drivers to use in the mean time.

2022-05-08Loves travel stop always has been & Always will be a great truck stop! Will not go to pilot flying j unless I need fuel as per company I work for Give2get inc . I guarantee they have made a very bad choice for where 2 get fuel granted pilot flying j has bigger parking lots but they dont take pride in the stores nor the parking lots! I feel safe at loves travel stop!

2021-07-13Drivers should avoid this place at all costs.Literally one of the WORST Loves truck stops youll ever visit. If youre a truck driver you better be prepared to wait on the road or at the stop light.This place is literally designed backwards.Absolutely piss poor layout and planning.

2022-02-11Alert , if you are not in a fixed parking spot then you don’t get shower. But I feel the night staff don’t want clean the shower room. Because the two working in the fuel desk just talking each other others are working. I feel that I just disturb in their talk. Any way bad service. Loves keep it up

2022-02-17I did my ten hour break there last nite. I had McDonalds. This morning I went in and bought boiled 🥚 juice and fruit cups. I payed for all of it with my fuel credit points.
Review №7
2022-04-19Nice station. Good selection of snacks. 24 hour Subway. The only reason its a 4 out of 5 is due to the insane amount of big rigs that pull in here making it difficult at times to pull in or leave.

2022-05-13Being strict on truck parking IS A GOOD THING. There are literally so many legal places to park within 15 miles of here its ridiculous these lazy non parking non planning so-called professionals want to whine about that and not being able to rudely block the fuel island to go in and shower.. get over yourselves, because you arent all that. Friendly employees, clean store, clean restaurants (subway and burger king), clean showers. Only problem I have is that this location is still only putting 1 towel in the shower, so ladies (and gents, and whatever else anyone identifies as), if you have long hair like me and you need an extra towel for hair, you better ask before you get to the shower, because trust me, theyre not following corporate on that at this location. Gee! I got to dry my face with the same towel I dried my @$$ with.. said no driver ever. Oh and to Charles Thomas... This is a TRUCK STOP so get over it. Maybe just go to Buccees acrossthe street from now on. They cater to the ah in cars.

2022-04-29These 4 stars are for the store ✨️ lovely people for the workload they have. As for the missing star. Thats a negative rating for the shop. I checked in at 2.. fine a hour and half wait. Thats fair. Came back 2.5 hours later to check if Im next or soon. Lady said well you havent checked in. So she apologized for the last counter guy. And put me on the list of waiting yet again.. another 1.5 hours.. nothing. About 7 pm. I wake up. They dont even acknowledge me. I apparently leveled up and now have the power of invisibility 🤔 so with no response eventually the shop closed. And well the store people are awesome for what they do. But the shop. I definitely wont be going there in this lifetime..
