Shower Review Pilot Georgia Cartersville


This "Shower Review Pilot Georgia Cartersville" is a review of the shower facility at the Pilot Travel Center in Cartersville, 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.

Shower #3





Pros:

  • Shower was clean upon arrival
  • Counter space at sink was adequate to meet our needs
  • Fan worked well; was able to be positioned
  • Mirror was well positioned on wall behind sink for both short and tall drivers
  • Water pressure from sink was good
  • Electrical outlets worked well
  • Water pressure in shower was good
  • Showerhead delivered water in a good spray (like a home showerhead)
  • Showerhead could be positioned where needed
  • Shower curtain prevented shower spray from splattering on floor outside stall
  • Door restrictor was in working order (although broken)
  • Towels were thick and thirsty
  • Washcloths were sufficiently thick
  • Toilet flushed well
  • Hooks were directly outside of shower stall; was easy to reach for towel from inside the stall upon completion of shower
  • Paper bathmat and soap were provided
  • Individually wrapped and fast-food restaurant-branded after dinner mints were provided (a nice touch!)
  • Built-in seat was wide enough for our oversized shower bag to rest on
  • At about 6 p.m., there was wait time of only about 5 minutes
  • One of the extra towels we requested was fresh from the dryer and nice and warm




Cons:

  • Showerhead was positioned such that water temperature could not be adjusted without getting wet
  • Shower water temperature was not consistent; got slightly warmer whenever someone flushed a toilet
  • Door restrictor was broken and needed to be either tightened or replaced




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-
