review
of the shower facility at the Pilot
Travel Center in Port Wentworth, 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 #6
Pros:
- Shower appeared to be clean
upon arrival
- Plenty of counter space at sink
- Fan worked well
- 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
- Showerhead could be positioned
where needed
- Towels were thick and thirsty,
like beach towels
- Washcloths were sufficiently
thick
- Toilet flushed well
- Shower water could be turned on
and temperature adjusted without getting wet
Cons:
- Showerhead was not positioned
in
stall to minimize
splattering on floor outside stall
- No door restrictor
- Shower water temperature was
not consistent; got
slightly warmer whenever someone flushed a toilet
- Shower water pressure was not
consistent; pressure
lowered slightly whenever someone flushed a toilet
- The soap dispenser in the
shower stall had no soap
- There was a significant amount
of mold or mildew in the far corner of the shower stall
- Built-in seat was too small for
an
oversized shower bag to rest on
- Toilet paper dispenser was
almost empty
Notes for "Shower Review Pilot Georgia Port Wentworth":
- By the time we got out of our
shower, the cart that
had held the extra towels that we needed for our shower was empty
(because other drivers who arrived after we did used them as we did).
This
situation did not negatively impact us, but might have inconvenienced
other
drivers or caused them to seek out an attendant for more towels.
- Management really needs to work
on eliminating the
mold/mildew from the shower stall. (We suggest using bleach, soap and a
good scrub brush, for a start.) If mold was present, what other sorts
of
microorganisms were present in the stall, particularly on the stall
floor where drivers would be standing?
- The toilet paper dispenser
should be routinely
checked and refilled as needed.
Overall grade for this shower at this
facility on a scale of A+ to F- (with A+ being the best, F- being the
worst): C
