The Westin Dublin, Dublin Ireland Good shower-in-bath controls in addition to the separate shower below: There are two dots to indicate the temperature in each direction. The only minor hitch to this shower control scheme was that since there selector arm doesn’t come to a point, it was hard to tell at first whether you point the round end or the opposite end towards the temperature you desire.

Gramercy Park Hotel, New York NY With a punnett square-like array of four handles, one each for hot and cold, bath and shower, it can’t be much easier to figure out what’s what. Lowers for bath, uppers for shower. Fantastic water pressure as well.

Hotel La Maison, Munich Germany The bath and shower controls were simple and elegant. I appreciated the pac-man-like drain control, which was duplicated in the front of the tub and the side. There were other bathroom interface elements, however, that were difficult to figure out. To wit:

Maxwell AFB, Montgomery AL Staid and workmanlike, as you’d expect from Air Force Base housing. I didn’t have a chance to put it through the paces, but it seemed straightforward enough.

Montgomery Marriott Prattville Hotel, Prattville, AL Pretty common handle style. The tension on this particular handle was a little loose, so much so that I wasn’t sure if it was getting “grip” on whatever it turns to adjust the water temperature. But it did the job ok.
