Hopefully I’m not spoiling my secret here, but if you need to poop and are on the road, traveling, in a foreign city, or just downtown and need to go. Find a nicer, upscale hotel, or any of the “extended stay” places, walk in the front door, act like you own the place, go right past the front desk giving them the courtesy nod, and go to the restroom that is undoubtedly somewhere directly behind the reception area.

The restrooms are cleaned regularly , often have private stalls, and are not frequently used by guests of the hotel since they have rooms.

I have used this many times on day trips, in between hotels, when traveling on the interstate highways in the U.S., and when I was in others cities for work without a hotel.

It helps if you are professionally dressed, but I think walking in without luggage and not going to the front desk is the most important part. The staff assumes you are a guest with a key and you belong there. On few occasions after I gave the courtesy nod when walking in, I have received a “welcome back” in return! Happy pooping!
