why i did not go to this lounge when i passed through S\u00e3o Paulo (GRU) earlier this week, i don’t know. the TAM lounge [shower review<\/a>] is chump change compared to this — and it’s just a couple doors down. i mean, this lounge has cupcakes<\/strong> — CUPCAKES!!!<\/strong> (p.s. the priority pass iphone app says no shower here, but there clearly is. now that i think of it, that’s probably why i didn’t go to this one.)<\/p>\n

best of all, the shower is not a bathroom stall! <\/p>\n

ease of access and location: <\/strong>way in the back of the lounge. follow the long wall past the food and up the ramp, make a U-turn at the end. hand your boarding pass to the attendant who will unlock a shower for you. there are three showers, one handicap and two regular. there was an attendant shift change and they were having a chat in Portuguese and one of them motioned to the smaller shower rooms and changed out my key from a small one to a large one as they were signing me in. maybe they weren’t clean, maybe they knew i started writing shower reviews, maybe they just thought i deserved a lil’ something extra. but after the not-so-pleasant experience down the hall at the other lounge, this was quite a nice change. plenty of room (because handicapped-access) (and a toilet)! <\/p>\n

the goods:<\/strong> two bath towels, a pre-placed foot towel, several hand towels, and a bath mat in front of the sink in terms of soft things. no soap\/shampoo dispensers but rather two H2O soaps and a toiletry kit filled with generic products for use during the shower (in addition to toothbrush\/toothpaste, razor, brush\/comb combo, etc.)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7910\"<\/a><\/p>\n

shower:<\/strong> nothing fancy, but more than adequate. there is a handheld shower head as well as a wall-mount. because this was the ADA (or whatever the Brazilian equivalent is) one, it was large and had a fold-down seat.<\/p>\n

cleanliness and state of facilities:<\/strong> 5 out of 5. even the towels smelled nice.<\/p>\n

overall rating:<\/strong> 4.5 out of 5. i don’t know how large the regular shower rooms are, but even still i wouldn’t think it would rate lower than a 4. <\/p>\n

note: the lights flickered while i was in there, but when i finished i emerged to discover a powerful thunderstorm moved in, so i’m inclined to think it’s related to that and not the general state of the electricity at the lounge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
