Shower #1
Pros: Shower Review Pilot Tennessee Crossville
- This shower room was decorated
with artificial flowers both in a basket on the counter and above the
mirror
- One towel and washcloth were
waiting for us
in the shower
- Shower was clean upon arrival
- Counter space at sink was
sufficiently large
- There was a light fixture on
the wall directly over the
sink by which
male drivers can 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
as well as to keep splattering outside the stall to a minimum
- One towel hook was directly
outside the shower stall making it easy to reach for a towel from
inside the stall upon completion of shower; three more were on the wall
behind the door
- Door restrictor worked well;
door also had a locking knob.
- Towels were thick and thirsty
(like beach towels)
- Washcloths were sufficiently
thick
- Toilet flushed well
- Water from showerhead warmed
only slightly when the toilet was flushed
- The fan worked well
- The mirror did not fog at all
- Showerhead gave a good spray
(but not quite like a home showerhead)
- Showerhead could be positioned
where it was needed
- There was a framed letter from
the general manager thanking us for our business
- There
was a packaged bar of soap, a paper bathmat and two individually
wrapped pieces of candy on the counter when we arrived. (The candy
added a nice touch.)
Cons: Shower Review Pilot Tennessee Crossville
- The built-in seat was not large
enough for an oversized shower bag
- Water pressure in the shower
reduced significantly when a toilet was flushed
- The toilet paper dispenser was
defaced
- The toilet paper dispenser was
mounted in such a way so as to crowd a large-framed driver sitting on
the toilet.
- Although there was a light in
the shower stall, it was not working.
- The
flow of the water through the showerhead sounded noisy. Mike noted that
changing the position of the showerhead affected this.
