Notes, Grade, Recommendation, Comments, Part 1:
"Shower Review Pilot South Carolina Florence"
| Was there anything else
noteworthy about your shower experience?: |
This is a postage stamp-sized
shower room, being small. It has seen some hard usage.
Although there was a bar across the entrance to the shower stall, there
was no shower curtain hanging from it.
The only light by which to see in the mirror was behind the person
looking in the mirror, casting a shadow.
While the sink area had no attached counter space, there was a small
shelf on the wall above the toilet. It was too high for short customers
to see the top of.
It took two flushes to remove waste from the toilet bowl.
While I saw no mold or mildew in the shower stall, I noticed a lot of
"grout fatigue" in which the grout between the tiles had started to
deteriorate and fall out, leaving gaps between the tiles.
A tile behind the toilet and a tile on the wall near the floor near the
built-in seat were angled out away from the wall as though they had not
been set correctly.
While the towels were soft, the humidity in the room made it seem after
toweling off that I still wasn't dry.
At one time, there had been a door restrictor on the door, but it had
been removed.
