Something not right?

Description

The northbound roadside rest stop just south of Arlington was CLOSED and it was thanks to iOverlander we found Pilot/Cinnabon/Darby's. All employees were very friendly. I checked with an employee about parking overnight - no problem, one night a month I think he said. Showers are available to public 6am to 10pm - commercial truckers only 10-6. Darby's is Darby's but Cinnabon runs the food part and has some healthy choices - actual fruit and salads with real vegetables. A lot of decent coffee choices. Also a very small Expresso truck just across the street. All in all a great overnight stop.

It looks safe and nice, but we didn’t end up staying. The ladies said parking overnight is okay, but not for long because the maintenance man will come at 5 am and knock on your windows and tell you to leave. We arrived around 11 and decided that probably wasn’t enough time for us to sleep.
seems like this has been a recent change to the rules due to some people abusing the ability to rest here. The casino north of here seems to allow overnight parking though.

Report Check-In

Asked if we could park our RV overnight and they said no. There are 2 hour max parking signs everywhere as well.

Report Check-In

Stayed here one night. Asked inside, they said no problem for one night, park wherever you want as long as you park correctly. I confirm the music and ads all night, not too loud if you park as far as possible from the main building .
Showers are nice and cleans but 15$ though and we had to wait 1 hour...

Report Check-In

Stayed here one night. No one bothered me but there was commotion out and around my vehicle. Store played 90s "rock" over the loud speakers all night with ads and announcements in between. if you like Nickleback and Three Days Grace, sweet dreams for you ;)

Report Check-In

Asked about overnight parking since signs say 2 hr max, and the attendant said it was fine to park in the front as long as it wasn't right along the front of the building. Nobody bothered us. Nice, clean facilities.

Report Check-In

The front lot was recently changed to a max of 2 hours. I showed up at 1am, then got a knock asking me to move to the back lot at 8am. The back lot parking is longer time. Two others were asked to move along with me. The guy was friendly when asked me to move.

Report Check-In

We parked overnight in the parking lot in front.

NOTE: these are normal car-sized parking spots, so large RVs will not fit.

The store has a 24 hour Arby's, pay showers ($12) and coin op washers & dryers.

They're is free WIFI, with OK speed it you can pay for their premium WIFI, which is gaster and is available in the parking lot.

The Arby's has tables with 110V outlets and USB charging ports.
