Shower Facility
We need your help!
Would you ladies (and gentleman) be gracious enough to look at this facility and answer the questions. Is this something you could use while out on the road. www.watermarksuites.com
This facility provides showers, private offices (rented by hour) and exercise room. This is not a hotel!

This reeks of spam.
But, I'll bite (even though I didn't take the survey). I think that this service will flop, because most drivers do not have the time for something like this. If they did, they would just rent a hotel room.
Most drivers aren't paying for showers anyway - they get free showers when they fuel.
If I am getting a "theraputic" jacuzzi, it had better be in a hotel room, and I better have it for the entire night.

We appreciate your input! We don't expect to make every driver a customer, but we think some of the drivers would use this facility.
As far as finding a hotel that provides the amenties we provide (other than a bed), its going to cost a minimum of $ 175/night. Our facility would be $ 15.00 - $ 20.00.
Again, we know its not for everybody, but there's millions of drivers on the road and if we can be of service to 1% , then we would be happy.

$175 a night? You are delusional if you think that a hotel room would cost me that. :roll:

A "minimum" of 175 a night! Where are we staying? Manhattan? A suite in Atlantic City? But I guess people who pay 175 for a hotel room will have no problem paying 20 bucks for a shower.

..........Please let us know the name of hotel with ALL the same facilities we are showing that is less than $ 175.00/ night.

I spend $100 at most when I am laying over in somewhere really nice (ie Holiday Inn-Clearwater FL) with everything I need.
On the road, all I need in a room is cable with like 18 channels, GOOD wifi, and a clean room and I never spend more than $55 for that.
But, free showers with fuel keep me on the road. I spend more nights in motels than a majority of the drivers here due to the HHG business.

That's just it - most drivers don't have the time for your "facilities", nor do they have a use for them.
A clean shower, a comfortable bed, and peace and quiet. Anything else is overkill.
I can rent a hotel room with a jaccuzi (and a bed) for a little over $100 if I wanted to. But there is no need.
Trust the drivers on this - your service is pointless. If I want a jaccuzi, I am gonna spring for the hotel room with it in.
