Refresh Travel Plaza - Madera, California

Very clean place, it's our own super gas station outskirt of 99 north Fresno. Plenty of Tesla chargers there. Tiny golf course while waiting.

Great place to spend the night. Plenty parking and some dirt lot for overflow. Plenty good food to choose from 😋 yummy fat burgers 🍔 😋 And Jamba juice smoothies 😋 small doggie park... fake grass 😆 And Starbucks for breakfast 😋

Real World

I visited this plaza two times and that was more than enough not anymore. Earlier I ordered pizzas and Alfredo pastas from another counter and the food was good but this time we tried kfc as you can see pictures chicken pieces are badly coated and not properly cooked. My kids got diarrhea after eating single piece. Even my stomach got upset after tasting the food.
Mashed potatoes were stale. Biscuits were also not fresh. They share staff in all the counters. As one of the reviewers said , JACK OF ALL MASTER OF NONE this phrase applies fully. Actually we didn’t dine in this time just takeout. Otherwise I would have trashed in front of them. Their quality is compromised. The sitting area was also not clean the chairs were sticky to touch. There were toilet paper scattered here n there in the restroom. By chance we were going back home after our trip otherwise our trip would have been ruined as my kids suffered of their uncooked and stale food.

“Jack of all trades master of none.” “All hat no cowboy.” “ Good try! “Maybe I just had him on a bad day. Will look to be so promising with so many options. This TA turned out to be quite a letdown, purely as features and offers a dog walking area a lot of Tesla chargers, several pumps, bathroom showers, several brand names of food, souvenirs all the normal gas station fixings, and even a putt putt practice course. However, though they had tons of options, they seem to not be executed on them very well. Each of the restaurants was sharing employees and ended up resulting in still drinks. Call Pizza enclosed shops. I would suggest at least when I was there to get your fountain drink over by the food area as the one in the gas station area was in very poor shape the Pizza Hut personal pizza for $13 that I tried must’ve been sitting there for hours, and several other options for not even open

The Gasoline prices here are astronomical, but the plaza has some good stuff, very clean.
The icing on the cake is the Indian food joint serving the most awesome punjabi food. The staff is very courteous and efficient. The complomentary tea was just awesome for us Indian family yraveling for 10 days jonsing for chai!!!

After spending three days on the road cajoling my temperamental 37-year-old van from Portland, OR toward Death Valley I was feeling pretty ragged. The higher-than-normal ratio of psychotic drivers on 99 wasn't helping. Desperate for a hot shower I pulled into this travel stop. I think I found El Dorado. In one place you can fill up on gas, propane, walk your dog, get a shower, do your laundry, stock up on supplies, get a hot meal (or a frozen yogurt), and sleep overnight. They really do have it all. The staff are super helpful.

I will say the prices are high. I wouldn't get gas here if you can make it into Fresno for something cheaper. They were asking about $2 more per gallon compared to the cheaper places.

A shower was $18. But you get your own private stall with a toilet and sink (BYO towel). My ex used to call me "dragonlady" because of how hot I like my shower water. This place delivers with scalding hot water, good pressure, and good volume. It was a pricey shower but it was the best one I've ever had on the road.

You can camp overnight on the empty lot next door for free. There are lots of trucks and lights so make sure you can manage your sleep space accordingly.

Laundry was good. The cashier has to start the machine for you. $4 to wash, another $4 to dry. You don't have a choice on temperature, which is hot, so I wouldn't put any delicates in there.

The food court is pretty sweet and has several seats with outlets where I presume you could work on wifi. There are some ADA seats there as well. They have a Fatburger, Pizza Hut, KFC, an Indian place, frozen yogurt, Cinnabon, and a Jamba Juice.

The gas station store is pretty well stocked with a lot of necessities as well as a bunch of items I reckon appeal to the men driving the trucks. Bathrooms are nice. Place is clean. Lots of Tesla chargers. I'm a solo femme and I felt totally safe sleeping there.
