Shower Review Loves Tennessee
Charleston
This "Shower Review Loves Tennessee Charleston" is a
review
of the shower facility at the Love's Travel Stop in Charleston, 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 Loves Tennessee Charleston
- One towel was waiting for us
in the shower; we requested and received two more for the two of us
- The lady who escorted
us
back to the shower was Anita, the Marketing Manager
- Shower was clean upon arrival
- Counter space at sink was more
than 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, a standard showerhead and a bathtub-like
spout down lower
- The top showerhead
could be
positioned as needed
- Showerhead delivered water in a
good spray (like a
home showerhead)
- 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
- Washcloths were thicker than
the towels
- Toilet flushed well
- An air vent to pull moisture
out of the room was near the shower stall. We never
experienced fogging of the mirror.
- This shower was large, well lit
and pleasant
- Shower water pressure and
temperature remained constant even when toilet was flushed
Cons: Shower Review Loves Tennessee Charleston
- The door had neither a deadbolt
lock nor a door restrictor
- Towel hooks were on the wall
behind the outside door, well away from the shower stall
- Movable chair was not wide
enough to handle an oversized shower bag
- Although the shower curtain had
12 holes for rings, there were only 7 rings holding it onto the rod
- The water coming from the
bathtub-like spout could not be directed onto the user like it can when
using a hand-held hose
Note: Shower Review Loves Tennessee Charleston
About the time that we showered, the facility's dryer
went out. This did not affect our ability to get a shower or have dry
towels with which to dry off.
