Unfortunately I do not. I'm sure there are some, and maybe everyone here collectively can think of a hotel that has them, but those types of shower heads are pretty much par for the course here in SoCal. I rent an apartment in San Diego and ours is devastatingly slow as well

I just got back from a stay at Stovall's (on Katella), and not only was the water pressure high, the shower head was the big, fancy kind that makes a shower like standing outside in a hard rain Also, there were no problems with the water suddenly getting too hot/too cold. It was a pleasant change from the usual hotel/motel shower experience!

We are at GCH and I don't have a problem with the shower head! BUT... the first room we checked into (we moved after being driven crazy with the construction noise) the shower head was a nightmare! It moved in a circular motion but was just terrible, our new rooms showerhead is great!

That's partially true. They install them as the basic one, BUT you can purchase better ones at places like Bed, Bath, and Beyond (2.5 gal/min). We rent an apartment, and our shower head was barely more than a trickle. We went out and bought a Culligan Massaging showerhead for our room's bathroom, and a Delta handheld showerhead for our boys' bathroom. Both of them are AWESOME! Much stronger than the crappy one that the apartment company installed. You just need to replace the "standard" showerhead before you move out...

We just got back from the DLH and both DH and I both mentioned how happy we were with the water pressure. Only problem is if you're over 5'7" you'll have to do some contortions...we're 5'10" and 6'5"....ack!

Maybe I should put a shower head in my travel bag!! I would just have to remember to remove it when checking out of a hotel...

Hojos has a shower massager type head that was fine. Also Fairfield Inn has the Rain shower type head and it was fine too.

We just stayed at Hojo's last weekend (MouseAdventure) and the water pressure was really low. We were in building 1, 7th floor facing Disneyland.

Holiday Inn Express has very nice shower heads. Most hotels put in only the very cheapest- the ones you can buy for a dollar or less. These were very nice and did not feel low pressure. In California, I think the only shower heads you can buy are low flow. But for our house we bought a $30 one and I love it. I'm always annoyed too when I have to use a little whimpy shower head when I know that low flows don't have to be that way. They are just cheap.

Thanks for the help. I will definitely be checking out some of the places mentioned.
