Shower #2
Pros: Shower Review Loves Georgia Richmond Hill
- One towel and one washcloth
were waiting for us
in the shower
- We asked for two more towels
but were given three and another washcloth.
- Towels were sufficiently
absorbent.
- Washcloths were sufficient to
meet our needs.
- Counter space at sink was
sufficient to meet our needs
- There were two towel hooks on
the wall behind the door and three more on the wall behind the toilet
- Fan worked
- Mirror was well positioned on
wall behind sink for
both short and tall drivers
- Light was directly above the
mirror, so that male drivers could get a close shave without nicking
- Water pressure from sink was
good
- Electrical outlets worked well
- Shower water temperature could
be adjusted from outside the stall without getting wet
- Shower was designed to minimize
splattering of water outside stall
- Overall shower water pressure
was better than expected;
it was not as hard as Vicki expected, given that the type of showerhead
was one that typically gives a "sand blaster" delivery of water.
- Shower
water temperature stayed pretty consistent when a toilet was flushed.
It rose discernibly and very temporarily when something else happened
within the facility.
- Toilet flushed well.
Cons: Shower Review Loves Georgia Richmond Hill
- There was no towel hook near
the shower stall
- Even
though the fan worked, it could not overcome the huge amount of
humidity in the room, a sign that there is obviously a problem with the
ventilation in the room. Confirming this, the frame of the ventilation
outlet in the ceiling in the middle of the room was covered with water
droplets that could fall at any time. The mirror fogged up badly during
a shower and condensation formed on the walls, door frame, floor and
even our personal belongings!
- There was a significant amount
of mold/mildew in the grout between the tiles in the shower stall, most
likely because of the high humidity in the room.
- The toilet was not clean; there
were stains in the bowl and particulate matter in the bowl and under
the seat near the hinge.
- Showerhead was very high
and could be
positioned by Vicki only when she stood on the shower "lip" on her
tiptoes.
- Shower water pressure was
inconsistent.
- Door had neither a deadbolt
lock nor a door restrictor on it.
