Shower Review Pilot Tennessee Crossville

This "Shower Review Pilot Tennessee Crossville" is a review of the shower facility at the Pilot Travel Center in Crossville, TN, 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.

Pros: Shower Review Pilot Tennessee Crossville

• This shower room was decorated with artificial flowers both in a basket on the counter and above the mirror
• One towel and washcloth were waiting for us in the shower
• Shower was clean upon arrival
• Counter space at sink was sufficiently large
• There was a light fixture on the wall directly over the sink by which male drivers can get a close shave without nicking
• The mirror was well positioned on wall behind sink for both short and tall drivers
• Water pressure from sink was good
• Electrical outlets worked well
• Shower was designed to allow the user not to get wet when turning on the water as well as to keep splattering outside the stall to a minimum
• One towel hook was directly outside the shower stall making it easy to reach for a towel from inside the stall upon completion of shower; three more were on the wall behind the door
• Door restrictor worked well; door also had a locking knob.
• Towels were thick and thirsty (like beach towels)
• Washcloths were sufficiently thick
• Toilet flushed well
• Water from showerhead warmed only slightly when the toilet was flushed
• The fan worked well
• The mirror did not fog at all
• Showerhead gave a good spray (but not quite like a home showerhead)
• Showerhead could be positioned where it was needed
• There was a framed letter from the general manager thanking us for our business
• There was a packaged bar of soap, a paper bathmat and two individually wrapped pieces of candy on the counter when we arrived. (The candy added a nice touch.)

Cons: Shower Review Pilot Tennessee Crossville

• The built-in seat was not large enough for an oversized shower bag
• Water pressure in the shower reduced significantly when a toilet was flushed
• The toilet paper dispenser was defaced
• The toilet paper dispenser was mounted in such a way so as to crowd a large-framed driver sitting on the toilet.
• Although there was a light in the shower stall, it was not working.
• The flow of the water through the showerhead sounded noisy. Mike noted that changing the position of the showerhead affected this.

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+
