Shower Review Loves Georgia Waco
This "Shower Review Loves Georgia Waco" is a
review
of the shower facility at the Love's Travel Stop in Waco, GA, USA,
based upon our
own
expectations of what a shower facility that caters to professional
truck drivers of commercial motor vehicles should be like, our own
preferences (especially in comparison to a home bathroom), and our
observations.

Review Loves Georgia Waco
- Showers assigned by clerk
via
pull tabs (not automatically via kiosk)
- During the middle of the
day,
we had to wait for a shower for about 20 minutes.
- Announcement about which
shower
customer was next was not able to be heard throughout the facility but
could be heard nearer to showers
- Two displays of shower
customer
number were in the facility, one near the cashier closest to the truck
fuel island, the other in the fast food restaurant area
- Shower is free with
minimum 50
gallon purchase of fuel from a Love's Travel Stop anywhere in the
nation within the last 7 days.

Shower #5 (equipped for the handicapped)
Pros:
- Two towels were waiting for us
in the shower
- Truck stop manager escorted us
back to the shower and gave us a third towel (because there are two of
us)
- Shower was clean upon arrival
- Counter space at sink was
non-existent but there was a shelf nearby
- Fan worked well; could be
oscillated
- Mirror was well positioned on
wall behind sink for
both short and tall drivers
- Light was directly above the
mirror, so that male drivers could get a close shave without nicking
- Water pressure from sink was
good
- Electrical outlets worked well
- Water pressure in shower was
good
- There were two water delivery
mechanisms in the shower, a standard showerhead and a hand-held one at
the end of a short hose
- Both showerheads could be
positioned as needed
- Shower was designed as a large
opening covered by a shower curtain
- Shower "stall" had handrails
for the handicapped.
- Shower curtain prevented shower
spray from splattering on floor outside stall
- Door had a deadbolt lock
- Towels were sufficiently
absorbent
- Washcloths were thicker than
the towels
- Toilet flushed well
- Hooks were directly outside of
shower stall; was easy to reach for towel from inside the stall upon
completion of shower
- Directly above the shower
stall, there was an air vent to pull moisture out of the room. We never
experienced fogging of the mirror.
- This shower was large, well lit
and pleasant
Cons:
- Counter space was non-existent
- Movable chair was not wide
enough to handle an oversized shower bag
Overall grade for this shower at this
facility on a scale of A+ to F- (with A+ being the best, F- being the
worst): A
