The latest prize goes to the Maverik gas station and convenience store chain in Salt Lake City, Utah.
“Adventure’s first stop isn’t just about fueling your car. Maverik’s restrooms deserve recognition for their commitment to cleanliness and comfort, with sparkling fixtures, spacious stalls and fresh amenities that make each pit stop along your adventure a pleasant experience.
Maverik’s restrooms go the extra mile with touches like adventurous décor and even family-friendly features. In fact, USA Today names Maverik as a place with the cleanest gas station restrooms in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Utah.”

While Florida didn’t manage to make the runner-up list for the latest showing, the same can’t be said for the previous award in 2023.
An airport in Baltimore took top prize that year, though Hell ‘n Blazes Brewing Company in Melbourne took one of the coveted runner-up spots thanks to its unique lavatorial offerings.
But Florida did take the 2022 award thanks to the restrooms at the Tampa International Airport.
“Tampa International Airport’s Airside C showcases new high-design, spacious restrooms, coupled with quality craftsmanship and an inviting, yet durable, material palette. The entrance welcomes travelers to their uniquely-Florida experience.
Boasting large graphics and a natural, deep blue stone, the undulating veining is reminiscent of waves crashing along the shore. Once inside, large format tiles skin the floors and seamlessly fold up the walls, bolstering the well-lit environment and furthering a “freshly cleaned” aesthetic.
A wood-look wall tile adds warmth and softness for a balanced, resort-like feel. The luxury feel is bolstered by high-res images of quintessential Florida flora, back printed on floor-to-ceiling sheets of impact-resistant glass, ensuring its beauty for years to come.
The clean, contemporary aesthetic is completed by light-colored solid surface vanities, which incorporate TPA’s signature “cockpit” concept. This “cockpit” provides guests with their own sensor-activating sink and soap, personal paper towel dispensers, and trash receptacle, all within an arm’s reach!"
