Notes, Grade, Recommendation, Comments: Shower Review Pilot South Carolina Florence 2
[su_table responsive=”yes” alternate=”yes” fixed=”no” class=””]
| Was there anything else noteworthy about your shower experience?: | As the photos show, this shower room needs some definite attention to maintenance. The fan had dust so thick that on the medium setting, it started to fly off the guard. An old air freshener (that was long past its prime) was up in the light fixture over the mirror. The shower curtain, while it looked new, was way too big for the shower stall opening. Not only that, but there were 12 holes from which to hang the curtain, but only 5 rings to hold it on the curtain rod. The toilet seat had obvious pits in it. The toilet paper dispenser was hanging crooked on the wall. The shower head assembly had started coming off the shower stall wall. There was only one towel hook in the room. I strongly suspect that there is a plumbing problem in the facility as a whole because there was a grinding sort of sound whenever water was turned off and back on in other rooms. In fact, there was a sound or noise when the shower water was turned on in Shower #4. |
| 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?: | Maybe |
| Additional comments:: | On a positive note, there were two names over the shower room door, indicating that specific employees (Demetrious and Kevin) were responsible for taking care of the shower. Furthermore, there was a vase of artificial flowers on the counter, giving an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. |
