Shower Review Loves South Carolina Dillon
Pros: Shower Review Loves South Carolina Dillon
- One towel was waiting for us
in the shower; we requested and received two more for the two of us
- Shower was clean upon arrival
- Counter space at sink
was adequate to meet our needs
- Fan worked well
- 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
- Water pressure in shower was
good
- There were two water delivery
mechanisms in the shower, upper and lower showerheads
- The top showerhead
could be
positioned as needed
- Shower was designed as a large
opening covered by a shower curtain
- Shower "stall" had handrails
for the handicapped
- Shower curtain prevented shower
spray from splattering on floor outside stall; also there were suction
cup sections on the edges of the curtain to affix it to the stall walls
to keep more water in the stall
- Towels were sufficiently
absorbent (but not like a beach towel)
- Washcloths were sufficiently
thick
- Toilet flushed well
- An air vent to pull moisture
out of the room was near the shower stall.
- This shower was large and well
lit
- Shower water pressure and
temperature remained constant even when toilet was flushed
- There were two name brand mints
left on the sink for us, which was a nice touch.
Cons: Shower Review Loves South Carolina Dillon
- The door had neither a deadbolt
lock nor a door restrictor
- Places for two towel hooks were
on the wall
behind the outside door, well away from the shower stall; one of the
hooks was not on the holder, leaving only one hook in place.
- Movable chair was not wide
enough to handle an oversized shower bag
- Movable chair was wobbly
- Although the shower curtain had
12 holes for rings, there were only 11 rings holding it onto the rod
- The mirror showed evidence of
needing to be cleaned; it fogged easily from the steam from the shower
water.
- The
showerhead delivered water almost like a sand blaster (not being like a
home showerhead); attempts to back off the water pressure met with
spurting water.
Note: The shower head assembly was placed on the
opposite wall of the
shower stall from other similar Love's locations.
