RE: the half-shower doors. I don't mind if they are properly executed and maintained. However, I was in a hotel in Milan this past September that had the half-door. The vertical pole that the shower head was attached to was centered along the long wall of the tub, and the support for the hand-held shower head was so weak the shower head just tipped down and over until it was pointing at the wall. Also, they had put the half-door at the end of the tub opposite the tub spout, where one's head would be if lying down and taking a bath. Unfortunately, that end of tub was steeply angled to accommodate lying down, so you couldn't stand next to the half door. This, combined with the floppy shower head, made for a very wet floor!
