I'm not supposed to be in here. Neither are the two undercover journalists following me for a news story on the best and worst restrooms of the Twin Cities. It was incredibly easy to walk into the lobby, head up to the 5th floor and nonchalantly hang a right towards the lounge. I received an skeptical look from the sleepy bartender. He knew I wasn't staying at this hotel. He knew the awkward-looking cameraman smuggling a DV camera in his denim jacket was probably up to no good. But he let us do our thing. God bless your apathy sir.

The wonderful striated marble is the first thing that strikes you as you enter this restroom. It is everywhere, covering the floors, walls and counters. No doubt this has been hauled from some rare quarry on a small Greek island or eastern Turkey or somewhere else where it is impressive to get marble from. The fixtures were all of the highest quality and shined to a sparkle. Paper towels are offered as well as small washcloth/handkerchiefs near the exit. Unfortunately, I had already dried my hands with paper when I first spotted these - so I missed my chance to dry my hands in ultra-luxury. Instead, I blew my nose in one and left.

RESTROOM RATING: 10
