Utah gas station claims the title of 'America's Best Restroom'

(CNN) -- Soothing earth tones. Murals of snow-covered mountains and blue sky. Shiny, gleaming fixtures. What traveler wouldn't want "to go" in a place like this?

The winner of 2024's "America's Best Restroom" online contest is a Maverik service station, purveyor of gasoline and food, located near Salt Lake City International Airport.

In its 23rd year, the contest highlights some of America's cleanest, most innovative and most decorative places to take care of personal business.

Sponsored by national cleaning company Cintas, the contest allows people to suggest bathrooms across the country. Voting on the top 10 nominations was held this past summer, and the winner was announced Tuesday afternoon.

The Maverik chain has more than 380 stations scattered across 12 western states, with its largest concentration in Utah.

The online nominations list said that "Maverik's restrooms deserve recognition for their commitment to cleanliness and comfort, with sparkling fixtures, spacious stalls and fresh amenities."

According to a spokesperson for the contest, the winning location is at 279 S. 5600 W., Salt Lake City, UT 84104 - just in case you're in the vicinity and find you need to relieve and refresh.

If you're not in Salt Lake City, maybe you'll luck out and find yourself around the nine other nominees for 2024 when nature calls:

The 2023 winner of the contest was Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
