Shower Review Pilot North Carolina
Mebane
This "Shower Review Pilot North Carolina Mebane" is a
review
of the shower facility at the Pilot
Travel Center in Mebane, NC, 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 #5 (This shower had
Eastern Carolina University decorations.)
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
- Water pressure in shower was
good
- Showerhead delivered water in a
good spray (like a
home showerhead)
- Showerhead could be positioned
where needed
- Towels were thick and thirsty
(like a beach towel)
- Washcloth was sufficiently
thick
- Toilet flushed well
- Two paper bathmats were provided
- A small packaged bar of soap
was provided
- The built-in seat was big
enough to hold an oversized shower bag
- Shower water temperature and
pressure seemed consistent even when a toilet was flushed.
- Ventilation in the room was
good; there was no fogging of the mirror at any time.
Cons:
- We (and another driver) had to
wait for the attendant to show up to get extra towels
- There
was a fan mounted on the wall, but no electrical cord extending to plug
in; furthermore, the fan was not powered remotely because pulling the
speed selection cord did nothing.
- 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
- There was no door restrictor
- One or two tiles on the shower
stall floor seemed slightly higher than the others, which could
contribute to customers having trouble standing comfortably
- The towel hooks were mounted on
the back of the door, on the other side of the room from the shower
stall.
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
