Throneroom Review 3: Safeway

The quality of a public restroom can make or break your whole experience with a business.

So I decided to review public bathrooms in Broadneck, not only to find which businesses have the best facilities in the area, but also to let people know which to avoid, if possible.

I've picked a few qualities I feel are important to all bathroom experiences, which you will see in the review. With any luck, this feature might inform some businesses that they need to get their thrones in order.

Safeway in Arnold:

  • Cleanliness: Looking at the photos, you might be lulled into a false sense of security. Everything looks pretty okay. But unlike the old  adage, pictures simply do not tell a thousand words here. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waft of the worst smell I've experienced since I started these reviews. The fumes instantly overtook my nostrils, and I was given little choice but to snap a few photos and be out of there as soon as possible. As a result, I have little to say about this bathroom other than OH MY GOD, PLEASE GET A FEW DOZEN AIR FRESHENERS.
  • Size: Plenty of room.
  • Decor: None to speak of, but nice work on the wall tiles.
  • Ambience: Decent, moody lighting for a bathroom. 
  • Changing stations: There was one, so bravo. I just can't imagine anyone ever using it in the condition I found the bathroom.
  • Toilet paper: Unknown. I didn't get far enough in.
  • Overall rating: 1 out of 5. The lowest score yet, because for purely practical purposes, I can't imagine anyone using a restroom they couldn't stand to be in for a few seconds. 

Have a bathroom in mind that I should review? Think I should add a review category? Please let me know in the comments!
