Pee in Style in Hoboken!
Inside NJ did a survey about the best public bathrooms in New Jersey.
The Mile Square has plenty to be proud of. The first baseball game. Frank Sinatra. Carlo's Bakery. Zeppoles at the St. Ann's Festival.
Now, Inside NJ has added something else to the list of things to boast about in Hoboken: we have one of the best public bathrooms of New Jersey. And you can find it in the W Hotel.Â
According to Greg Saitz, who wrote the bathroom story, the facilities in the W are of "Titanic luxury."

"The men's room has a small anteroom with a large mirror and small counter," Saitz wrote. "Hey, even guys want to primp now and again."
He described the lobby of the hotel as an "urban oasis," but quickly walked through it to get to the restrooms.Â

There he found that "the floors are black specked terrazzo-looking; and the walls are covered in small frosted glass tiling. Just when you think this bathroom is going all new urban chic, the sink and mirror area heads east toward the Hudson River. Meaning things get a bit nautical. Not Capt.-Stubing-piloting-the-Love Boat nautical, but a bit oceanic nonetheless. Think maybe Titanic luxury."
Furthermore, Saitz wrote: "The circular lights above and below the weird, amoeba-shaped mirrors give a kind of porthole feel to the design, so if you've had one too many ginger mango mojitos at the bar, you may want to hold onto the handy coat hook by the urinal until you get your sea legs. But it all ties back together with the counter, a long slab of black stone similar to the floor, with shallow sinks carved right into it. It goes without saying (although I'm saying it now) that everything from the urinals to the faucets is auto, meaning you can leave the biohazard protection suit at home."
