A bathroom fit for its pizza.
The Villagio bathroom is as clean as the crust is good, and the decor is splattered just like the balsamic port reduction is overused. You will find this coed single toilet bathroom immediately off the main dining room, which is always a turnoff. However, this restroom opens wide for easy wheelchair access and has a sparkle even Mr. Clean would be proud of. Yellow toned floor tile contrasts nicely with the silver fixtures on the toilet and mop sink, yet clashes horribly with the gold doorknob and hinges.
The exposed mop sink and cleaning-products shelf could easily be covered by wood cabinet doors to make the experience more intimate, and less like a gas station stop.
A great bathroom always has a great sink, which is yet another piece Villagio lacks. Here you will find a brown glass-waterfall faucet mounted on a stock porcelain sink over a builder's grade two-door cabinet. This bathroom is an awful attempt at a wannabe high-end look.
If you are only looking for an industrial flush in a clean setting, I do recommend the Villagio bathroom.
The best restrooms that have happened to anybody ever. They're so clean you could eat in there, and after seeing the classy interior you will likely want to! In fact, you probably should, just to honor the great job the cleaning staff has done here.
As for the actual facilities, the stalls all have floor-to-ceiling walls and doors, which gives you that extra privacy. And forget about paper towels and hot-air hand dryers, here you get actual towels to dry your hands. All of this is, of course, enjoyed in the luxurious Davenport setting. I wouldn't be surprised if business meetings were held in some of these stalls.
Man! Awesome!
I will admit that I felt like kind of a poser using Cafe Marron's facilities. You know when you walk into a restroom thinking "there's no way I'm good enough for this place," and start panicking? That was my initial reaction. Would I be able to figure out the sink? What if couldn't find the handle for the flush?
My mind was soon put to ease, however. The designer of these facilities had obviously taken both style and comfort in to consideration.
The slightly faux rustic look is calming, and the delicate dimmed lighting really allows for some thinking to take place while one is conducting business. This definitely has the feel of vintage European bathrooms, a "vibe" which really has become a favorite of mine. Florescent light and waterless urinals might work in a strictly utilitarian sense, but sometimes I just want to enjoy that little something extra. And Cafe Marron has just that; that certain je ne sais quoi.
These are Grade A facilities in other words. Highly recommended.
