Is the guest supposed to leave barefoot, dry his/her feet in the corridor and then put on his/her shoes outside of the shower room? By the way, where are the shoes and socks supposed to go whilst the guest is in the shower? On top of the toilet seat? There's no other flat surface in the entire room. Where is the guest's clothing supposed to go? There's nowhere else except for on top of the shoes.

With all due respect, the design of this room was completely asinine from the word go, and little has been done to ameliorate this situation.
