CHICAGO - After a few photos with "Sue" at the Chicago Field Museum, visitors should go check out the loo. After all, it was crowned number one when it comes to well, you know.
Bathroom designer Cintas chose the ground-floor restrooms, based on its hygiene, style, public accessibility, and usability.
The restroom features enough stalls for an entire classroom to use it at once, pint-sized toilets for littlest guests, and changing stations in both, sky painted on the ceiling and in tip-top shape.
With up to 12,000 visitors a day, cleanliness is important for the business' bottom line.
The Field Museum was chosen from a wide field ranging from rest stops to five-star hotels. The Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel in Virginia came in second place.
