Notes, Grade, Recommendation, Comments: Shower Review Pilot Maryland Perryville
[su_table responsive=”yes” alternate=”yes” fixed=”no” class=””]
| Was there anything else noteworthy about your shower experience?: | This shower room has seen some hard usage. Of particular note was the toilet’s refusal to completely flush. I had to get a plunger from the shower attendant’s cart to “help” it. When I returned the plunger, the attendant had returned and I remarked about the problems I had encountered. He said that they had been having problems with that toilet for awhile. |
| Based on your personal expectations, what grade would you give to this shower facility and your shower experience today (A+ is best; F- is worst)?: | C- |
| Based on your experience today, would you recommend this shower facility to other professional drivers?: | No way |
| Additional comments: | On a positive note, my wife liked the knob on the shower, which could control the water temperature and pressure independently. She also liked the shower head, which delivered a spray like one you’d find in a home. On a negative note, the water that condensed on the vent almost directly over the built-in seat dripped on my wife who was with me and dripped twice more on the floor while we were there. |
