Tucked Away in San Diego


I have mentioned before that I am not a fan of the urinal in the onesy bathroom- it just seems unnecessary.  If only one person is using the loo at a time, then way can't the gentlemen just use the toilet?  Us ladies don't love to look at those things- you never know, they might tempt us to try to pee in them, and that's gotta' be messy.  On the other hand, I was thinking about it when using the bathroom at Humphrey's Half Moon Inn & Suites in San Diego, and realized, hey! This is a great thing for us ladies!  And do you know why?  Because I suspect that it translates to just about half the chance of pee on that seat. 

My hypothesis: When men use onesies, they don't always lift the seat before they pee.  Behind closed doors in public bathrooms, people do all kinds of gross and inconsiderate things- and men surely aren't above it (and peeing without lifting the seat is probably just the tip of some horrific iceberg).  So, maybe I have changed my mind... 

It also helped that this bathroom was lovely.  


That's lazy- I didn't get off the toilet to take a pic of the sink... what choo gonna' do... :) 

And look, that's the view of the urinal (also from seated the toilet), and I think that's classy. Way to tuck it away a little bit, Humprey's, that's how you do it. 

Another nice little touch that I enjoyed,

That's a nice little way to display some paper towels, and I appreciate it. 

Do you know why I was so impressed with this bathroom?  It wasn't like this was a private bathroom in one of the hotel rooms, oh no.  This is the lobby bathroom- the one that they send all the conference-goers to, etc.  It's not even really for guests.  So, that makes double the impression on me, and might I say, even enticed to go back and stay there overnight?  Yeah, I think I will!

Humprey's, you get an A-.

PS-- The minus is because even though I'm happy they tucked that urinal away a bit, I'm still on the fence about the decision to go with one at all...

Though the tolielt is not so good but not so bad also very gentle unique design I always love toilets and bath rooms having unique faucets and fittings and sinks as well.
