Shower #3
Pros: Shower Review Pilot Connecticut Milford
- A small packet of soap was waiting for us in the room.
- Plenty of counter space at sink
- Fan worked well
- Mirror was well positioned on wall behind sink for both short and tall drivers
- A light over the mirror allowed male customers to shave without getting nicked.
- Water pressure from sink was good
- Electrical outlets worked well
- Shower could be turned on and temperature selected without getting wet
- Door restrictor worked well
- Towels were thick and thirsty, like beach towels
- Washcloths were sufficiently thick
- Toilet flushed well
- Mike said that the toilet paper dispenser’s position on the wall did not crowd him when seated on the toilet.
- Shower water pressure dipped only momentarily when a toilet was flushed.
- There was no discernible change in shower water temperature when a toilet was flushed.
- There were 3 towel hooks on the wall behind the door and one right outside the shower stall.
Cons: Shower Review Pilot Connecticut Milford
- Even though the fan worked well, its air flow — even when directed right at the mirror — was not enough to keep the mirror from fogging up when a customer was getting a shower.
- There was a significant amount of mold or mildew along the grout in the shower stall, particularly along the ceiling and wall near the ceiling right as a user stepped into the shower stall.
- Showerhead was almost too high for a short driver to position. Vicki had to stand on the raised lip of the shower stall — on her tiptoes — to reach it and it was still a stretch.
- Shower water pressure was almost too hard (not quite up to “sand blaster” pressure but close).
- Built-in seat was not large enough for an oversized shower bag to rest on.
- Shower water splashed out of the stall.
