Notes, Grade, Recommendation, Comments, Part 1:
"Shower Review Pilot Florida Ocala"
| Was there anything else
noteworthy about your shower experience?: |
My wife and I both had
problems getting the shower water temperature cooler. The way the
faucet works in this shower, it only takes about 1/4 turn to get hot
water. This shower has really hot water!
There was a significant amount of mold/mildew in the grout between
tiles outside the shower stall, meaning that this room does not have
adequate ventilation.
While it has been said that Florida has hard water and one may expect
some hard water stains in the toilet, my wife noticed other specks on
the back of the toilet bowl between the water and the rim that appeared
as though they could have been fecal marks that could have been
scrubbed off. There were obvious water stains.
The shower curtain in this room was in good repair.
The built-in seat was much too small for a medium-build man to sit on,
especially since it was in the corner.
While the electrical outlet worked well, its placement on the wall was
not well thought out. In using our blow dryer from a standing position
in front of the mirror behind the sink, the cord kept catching on the
underside of the counter overhang.

Notes, Grade, Recommendation, Comments, Part 2:
"Shower Review Pilot Florida Ocala"
| Based on your personal
expectations, what grade would you give to this shower facility and
your shower experience today (A+ is best; F- is worst)?: |
B+ |
| Based on your experience
today, would you recommend this shower facility to other professional
drivers?: |
Maybe |
| Additional comments:: |
My wife wondered why extra
towels were locked up in the cabinet and accessible only to the porter.
I wouldn't have had to wait on extra towels if I had had access to this
cabinet. There was a cart in the hallway where a limited supply of
extra towels could have been stored. We wonder if this facility has
experienced towel theft in the past.
