Congratulations to Tampa International Airport (TPA) for having its recently renovated restrooms chosen as finalists in the Cintas 12th annual America’s Best Restroom Contest.
The contest lauds public loos across the land and, in addition to TPA’s toilets, the list includes a restroom in a Portland, Ore. arcade, an ice-cream parlor in West Palm Beach, Fla. and the glass bathrooms on the square in Sulphur Springs, Texas.
They’re all great places to, uh, go, but here at StuckatTheAirport.com we must root for the restrooms at the Tampa airport, which were renovated as part of a $30 million main terminal modernization project.
Airport officials say the restrooms were designed to offer a “fresh, Florida feel” with, among other amenities, those cool Dyson airblade hand dryers and wall-sized image of flowers, birds, fish and other native Florida wildlife.
