space at sink

both short and tall drivers
- Water pressure from sink was
good

Cons: "Shower Review Pilot
Indiana
Hebron 2"
- Showerhead in shower stall was
positioned too high to be adjusted by shorter drivers
- Showerhead was very unlike one
used in a home, which usually delivers what we call a "sand
blaster" type of spray; in this case, the water pressure was not quite
that hard.
- Water pressure in shower was
not consistent throughout Mike's shower; it fluctuated whenever a
toilet was flushed.
- Showerhead was not positioned
so as to let the water temperature be set without getting wet
- Showerhead was not positioned
in the stall so as to minimize splattering on floor outside stall
- The built-in seat was not quite
big enough for an oversized shower bag
- Even when the fan was on
"high," the
mirror would fog when someone showered
- There was way too much humidity
in the room; condensation formed not only on the mirror, but also on
the walls and floor.
- The door restrictor was broken.
- Small tiles on the shower
stall floor were not laid flat and made standing on them for
any length
of time uncomfortable.
- The tiles in the shower stall
seemed a bit slick to stand on, probably due to the soft water.
- The height of the step going
into the shower stall was unusually high, which could lead to drivers
stumbling or tripping over it, especially those who wear glasses and
cannot see it clearly
- There were dark spots in areas
outside the shower stall that may have been mold or mildew.
- Although it was obvious that
some upgrades had been made to the room, it showed signs of
usage.
Note: The water at this facility is quite soft, which
could lead to
customers' difficulty determining when they have rinsed off all soap.
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-
