Hebron
This "Shower Review Pilot Ohio Hebron" is a
review
of the shower facility at the Pilot
Travel Center in Hebron, OH, 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.

nation within the last 5 days.
Shower #4
Pros: Shower Review Pilot Ohio Hebron
- Shower supplies in the room
included a
towel, washcloth, paper bathmat and a small packet of soap.
- One of the two towels received
from the attendant was rolled up and also contained a washcloth and bar
of soap.
- There was plenty of
counter space at the sink. This particular counter was stainless steel.
- Fan worked well
- Mirror was well positioned on
wall behind sink for both short and tall drivers
- Light over the sink enabled
male customers to shave without getting nicked.
- Water pressure from sink was
good
- Electrical outlets worked well
- Even though it was in pretty
sorry shape, at least there was a shower curtain on a rod over the
shower entrance to keep water from splattering on the floor outside.
- Towels were thick and thirsty.
- Washcloths were sufficiently
thick
- Toilet flushed well
- Moveable seat was wide enough
for an oversized shower bag.
- There was space for 5 towel
hooks in the
room, only four of which were actually in place: 2 of 3 hooks were on
the wall behind the door, one was on the wall opposite the shower and
one was directly outside the shower stall (which is great for those who
want to dry off in the stall).
- Although the shower room showed
signs of hard usage, it appeared to have been renovated (at least
re-tiled) sometime fairly recently.
- The mirror did not fog up even
when the shower water was on when someone was showering, indicating
good ventilation.
- In contrast to our most recent
previous shower experience, the towels at this shower facility were
fairly soft. (Hurray!)
- There was a door restrictor in
place.
Cons: Shower Review Pilot Ohio Hebron
- Showerhead delivered water in a
"sand blaster" type delivery.
- Shower water pressure dipped
slightly when a toilet was flushed.
- Shower water temperature was
inconsistent. Vicki noted that it decreased (got cooler) when the
toilet was flushed. Mike said that he wondered if he was going to be
able to finish his shower with hot water because it cooled down apart
from his adjustment.
- One of the towel hooks (the one
in the middle) was missing from the 3-hook rack behind the door.
- This shower room showed
lingering signs of hard usage, one of which was the aging shower
curtain that did not have enough hooks on it to hang properly from the
shower curtain rod.
- Shower could not be turned on
without getting wet.
- There was a bit of rust in some
areas and a tiny bit of mold or mildew starting to form in the corner
of the shower stall.
- Although it may be
appropriately sized for one shower customer, this room was a little
small for a team.
