Hebron
This "Shower Review Pilot Indiana Hebron" is a
review
of the shower facility at the Pilot
Travel Center in Hebron, IN, 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 #4
Pros:
- Shower was clean upon arrival
- There was plenty of counter
space at sink
- Mirror was well positioned on
wall behind sink for
both short and tall drivers
- Water pressure from sink was
good
- Electrical outlets worked well
- Towels were thick and thirsty
(like a beach towel)
- Washcloth was sufficiently
thick
- Toilet flushed well
- A small packaged bar of soap
was provided
- The fan worked well
- The door restrictor worked well
- Two towel hooks were directly
outside the shower stall
- There was enough room for a
husband and wife team to move around comfortably without feeling crowded
Cons:
- Showerhead in shower stall was
positioned too high to be adjusted by shorter drivers
- Showerhead was very unlike one
used in a home; spray from it was too hard (what we would call a "sand
blaster" type).
- Water pressure in shower was
not consistent throughout Mike's shower
- Showerhead was not positioned
so as to let the water temperature be set without getting wet
- Showerhead was not positioned
in the stall so as to minimize splattering on floor outside stall
- The built-in seat was not quite
big enough for an oversized shower bag
- Unless the fan was used, the
mirror would fog when someone showered
- Small tiles on the shower
stall floor not laid flat made standing on them for any length
of time uncomfortable
- The height of the step going
into the shower stall was unusually high, which could lead to drivers
stumbling or tripping over it, especially those who wear glasses and
cannot see it clearly
- The room showed significant
signs of usage
Note: The water at this facility is quite soft, which
could lead to
customers' difficulty determining when they have rinsed off all soap.
Overall grade for this shower at this
facility on a scale of A+ to F- (with A+ being the best, F- being the
worst): B
