Sam Reviews Public Toilets II: Carlingford Court
Part II: Carlingford Court Shopping Centre (Ground Level)
(Corner Carlingford & Pennant Hills Road, Carlingford NSW)
Capacity
One would assume these toilets have adequate capacity, since there is a trough as well as three cubicles. However, during lunch rush (which is the only time I need a cubicle for, as we discussed, medical reasons), there is a constant rush and everyone, EVERYONE heads straight for the cubicles. So all in all, for such a popular area of the shopping centre, the capacity is actually very poor. Because the trough is actually very small, as well. Only 3 people can fit at any one time. 2/10
Cleanliness
In spite of being very heavily populated, these toilets are actually pretty well maintained. This is because the cleaning staff, as I have seen, are frequently checking up on it; they don't just clean it once a day and so overall I have to say this is pretty good. 8/10
Washing Area
Average. Those annoying push button taps that explode on you and then suddenly shut off. However, at least they provide cold water which puts them miles up on the Stalinist regime known as Macquarie Centre (which we will review later, of course). Only air dryers available, although they are pretty good quality for auto-sensor ones. 5/10
Tszujiness
Meh. They have all the stuff that was once considered trendy and new like the push-button taps and the auto-sensor air dryers but they're still the oldest type available and so they're really just annoying, in the way that a 1980-model computer is. As in, it may have been miles ahead of technology once but now it's just shit and user-unfriendly. However, cleanliness is a bonus. It's really just a very standard, bathroom-y type feel which all in all is all you can really expect. 5/10
Overall Satisfaction
I'm often inconvenienced by these toilets but that's more a problem with patronage than the facilities themselves. It would be nice if Carlingford could provide a staff only male toilet, to go with the female one. I mean I understand the need for more female toilets than male, but still, it's the patrons rather than the staff who insist on clogging up the cubicle system. Overall, 6/10
Ranking in the Public Toilet System: "Amazingly" (Sarcasm detector explodes), this beats Top Ryde. Currently 1st.
