This "Shower Review Petro Pennsylvania Scranton" is a
review
of the shower facility at the Petro Stopping Center in
Scranton, PA, 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 Petro Pennsylvania Scranton
- One washcloth and one
fabric bathmat were
waiting for us
in the shower
- One small bar of packaged soap
was waiting for us
- Shower was clean upon arrival
- Counter space at sink was
adequate to meet our needs
- The
light over the sink and mirror allows male drivers to 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
- Three towel hooks were directly
outside the shower stall; it was easy to reach for a towel from inside
the stall
upon
completion of shower
- Door had a turn-type lock
- Washcloths were sufficiently
thick
- Towels were sufficiently thick
- Toilet flushed well
- Water temperature stayed pretty
constant when a toilet was flushed
- The moveable seat was
more than large enough to hold an oversized shower bag
- The drain in the shower was
large and worked wonderfully well
- There was a soap dispenser with
a foam delivery near the sink.
- There was a paper towel
dispenser with a more-than-adequate roll of paper towels in it.
Cons: Shower Review Petro Pennsylvania Scranton
- There was no fan in the room
- There was no towel waiting for
us in the room upon our arrival. When Mike asked for "two more," he was
under the assumption that one towel was waiting for us. When he
discovered that the only two towels he had were what was given to him,
he went to the work room and got another "half-towel".
- The trash
receptacle installed on the wall was small
- Water pressure in shower
reduced slightly when the toilet was flushed
- While the showerhead appeared
to be like one you'd use at home, the water coming from it was sprayed
in a narrow range, not wide like a home showerhead
- The "lip" on the shower stall
was only about 1/2-inch high, not high enough to keep water from
splattering on the floor outside the stall
- There was a substantial amount
of dust on top of the light fixture over the sink; only Mike could see
this.
- The ventilation in the room was
not sufficient to prevent fogging of the mirror or condensation from
collecting on the walls. For this reason, it was obvious why the grout
in the tiles outside the shower stall had begun to discolor.
- There was no door restrictor on
the door.
