Pretty inviting, friendly, warm... actually a decent truck-stop restroom. Nothing is more impressive than a dazzling array of stainless steel potty stalls, except for stainless steel potty stalls set against roller-disco glossy red block tile!

Psychologically, I know that McDonalds decorates in red and yellow because colors like that presumably make people hungry. Why you'd try to make people hungry while they're on the crapper though is beyond me. Though if the color scheme doesn't make you hungry, the overpowering vanilla-berry air-freshener should at least make you crave a piece of hard-candy or something.

You had the option of towels or blowers, and the soap was pleasant enough. Amenity-wise, the hand-towels were your basic brown roll-towels, and the toilet paper certainly wasn't designed for comfort (I'm not exactly sure what it was designed for. It didn't seem to be designed for wiping bottoms either). Though the one and half inch thick stainless-steel potty-stalls made me feel safe and secure (with functioning door latches!), the narrow stalls and obtrusive toilet paper holders (Fort-James I should point out) left me with little room to maneuver.

RESTROOM RATING: 5
