$20 ramp fee + No service on ramp = Poor rating Called on UNICOM. Unsuspecting aircraft that park in the transient area are charged a $20 ramp fee. They neither met us on the ramp, no chocks nor working tiedown. Boo! We were only there for two hours. Won't be back.

As has been said, this place is more of a flight school rather than a full service FBO. But even so, it's a very nice place. There always seems to be someone at the front desk and they are always quite helpful. Fuel prices are fair. There is no AWOS on the field so you can listen to either Trenton (KTNT) or Somerset (KSMQ). The transient tiedowns are not marked; they are at the west end of the field, beyond the derelict DC3. The fuel pump works fine but the retraction mechanism on the hose reel works too well. It always is in retraction mode. The hose won't stay put. So you have two choices. Either have a helper stand on the hose to prevent it from retracting or use the screwdriver that sits by the hose reel. If you use the screwdriver just jam it into the reel to prevent it from retracting. Easy to do.
