Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport

Detroit, MI

Reviewed August 19th, 2004

Weary travelers arriving in or departing from Detroit's airport will be treated to a completely touchless restroom experience. From the urinals to the paper towels, everything operates with the wave of your hand (even the soap) and as with all airports, there is no door to mess with.

Sadly, the particular restroom I visited suffered from a design flaw which may lead to embarassing or dangerous collisions. Once in the restroom, visitors must make their way towards the back to get to the heavy equipment (that's what we in the industry call toilets and urinals). Snaking through a narrow hallway with sharp 90 degree turns, it is easy to bump into a stressed business traveler or confused tourist. This facility could definitely benefit from some well-placed convex mirrors. Family travelers will appreciate the baby-changing station tucked away in a little cove near the exit.

RESTROOM RATING: 7
