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+
