But seriously, sometimes when you have to go, you really can't wait to get your Internet connection (which may take up to 2 minutes) and then go to the MizPee web site and then search. The amount of time that it takes you to do that, it may just be too late... Sometimes when nature calls, you can't wait for technology!

I offered directions to the actual bathroom, since they're sometimes hidden, especially in department stores. Nice to see that someone's finally set up a site to do reviews in a more organized manner!

Of course it seems half the cabs in the city are CO-OP and, on occasion when I relented, I lucked out with a fast, clean ride and a friendly driver. In the end, its always a crap shoot.

I've been in a few cabs that were nastier than the worst toilet in Scotland. Someone needs to invent a site like that for taxis.

They're fine. They're also fine at Manulife Centre, downstairs. I’ve been to all those washrooms, including the Hyatt. They’re fine. They’re also fine at Manulife Centre, downstairs.

But they are not in the ground floor of the lobby but up an escalator towards the east side of the lobby. The escalator takes you to one of their restaurants (I think). Using hotel washrooms is a custom in my family when we are out and about because they are always the cleanest and way less monitored than a pub or coffee shop. The Hyatt Park Plaza must be close to you as well but I'm not sure where their washrooms are. siobhan The washrooms at the Four Seasons are very nice!

Yeah - I think their database for T.O. is in the early stages at the moment. Of course, that's the thing with a system driven by user-ratings: the more info people add, the better the system becomes. 'sfunny: this seems like such a goofy idea on the face of it, but everyone I've explained it to has had the same kind of response - it's practically an essential service :-) Thanks Joey!
