Macy's Rosedale - Lower Level

The level of inconsistency in Macy's bathrooms is nothing short of amazing. The second floor one, tucked away near the women's fitting rooms is pretty good, though weird. Still, it has class.

The next bathroom, in the same store, is a contrast share only with Two-Face's face. While the 2nd floor one is good, this one is not quite as good.

Again, hidden away in the basement/kitchen gadget area (and just past the employee loung) is another bathroom. I was shocked to learn the other day that this one existed.

So much for my detective skills.

Vital stats:

2 Stalls, one is handicap accessible

1 urinal


Comments:

The decor here is really standard. Nothing fancy, no frills. The tile is just standard bathroom brown and tan. the floor is showing some signs of age, but is in acceptable condition. It was overall clean and devoid of smells of any kind.

The toilet seat I used was pockmarked, and in kind of rough shape. A trend that was continued when I merely looked at the thin toilet paper, and it literally ripped as I sighted it.

Other than that, it's the Joe Average of bathrooms.

At first, it gives off a vibe of seclusion. This is reinforced by the fact that I never knew it was there, and getting there requires a turn through a secret passage (not really) then a long and winding hallway reminiscent of the old "Get Smart" opening.

The bathroom was deserted.

It didn't last, the illusion of privacy was vaporized as man after man suddenly made loud entrances into the room, and equally boisterous exits.

When the coast was clear, I made my exit. I then noticed a no smoking sign. Why that's there? I don't know. Perhaps because the bathroom decor hasn't been updated since smoking was allowed indoors.

Overall Rating:

2 out of 5 flushes.

They lose points for decor, and the cratered toilet seat. Also, the toilet paper that's 1 molecule thick. They get some points for no smell, and being generally clean.
