New World Hotel, New York, NY
This is the worst-reviewed hotel I’ve ever visited. But! The reviewers were wrong! The room was fine, we did not get bed bugs, and the shower…above average!!
• Good pressure. Good heat!
• Fully closing door.
• Good shower storage!
• Complicated system to start shower—I needed to pull down on a ring around the tap. Huh?

Milford Plaza, New York, NY
• Very low water pressure
• Complicated system to start shower—the knob had to be at a certain angle and then pulled. I can’t explain it.

Birchwood Hotel & OR Tambo Conference Centre, Johannesburg, S. Africa
Giant’s Castle Camp uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, South Africa
• Too much of a good thing.
• Highest pressure ever. And not really focused in one direction. This is the sawed-off shotgun of showerheads.
• Hot Hot Hot!
• Ow!
• Good doors.
• Decent storage—but try reaching any of your showering products through the high-pressure hot water bullets.

Elangeni Southern Sun, Durban, South Africa.
The Himeville Arms Hotel, Himeville, South Africa
I had huge doubts about this one. This is a very old hotel, with a very old bathroom.
• Handheld showerhead. But! Stayed in place just fine in its holder on the wall.
• Claw-foot tub (the stuff of nightmares!) but I was okay!
• No shower curtain. Lots of flooding.
• Good temperature and pressure. Both of which were unexpected.

Sunway Putra Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
• Too big. Why is the back wall so far away? I need that for balance.
• Tub wall: High and dangerous.
• Soap rack in the line of fire.
• Senseless in-shower towel rack. I've found that drying myself with a dry towel is actually far more effective than drying myself with a wet towel. Hmm.
