Shower in the bathroom of my room at the Residence Inn by Marriott off of Kohn Road in Progress, Pennsylvania (near Harrisburg).

Two things here struck me as somewhat bizarre. First, the controls for the shower are in the back corner, on the opposite side from the showerhead. I’ve seen that once before, but it’s still weird. The second and more notable thing is that while this is a walk-in shower, there is no way to fully enclose it. There is a fixed glass partition on the showerhead side, and no door. This had a few different effects. First, without a way to enclose the shower space, it left me feeling a bit exposed, even though I was traveling alone. Additionally, because it was all open, it did a terrible job in keeping the heat in the shower, as air convection in this rather large bathroom caused a lot of drafts, even with the door closed, making me cold, despite the hot water. Would a smaller bathroom have helped mitigate this? I don’t know, but I’ll bet that a door on the shower would have made a whole lot of difference. And then from a practical standpoint, there was nothing preventing water from coming out of the shower and getting on the floor. It was just a poor design overall, and it might make me think twice about staying here again.
