Womens Restroom, Mens Restroom (signs on doors that say WOMENS and MENS) — wrong!!! Womens Issues, Womens Lib, etc. Do not let these mistakes that other people make confuse or distract you. They are WRONG. Usually these errors occur because people never learned the difference between plurals and possessives. Woman is singular. Man is singular.

Also, why would it sound crass in just the US to use the word that literally all the other countries use? Ladies room and mens room arent that formal in the US. I do agree I heard bathroom and restroom used the most there, with restroom for the public toilets and bathroom for the ones with a bath.
FWIW, for toilets in public establishments, "washroom" is more of a Canadian term; Americans would say "restroom." "Bathroom" is for private homes.
Usually we don't label the bathrooms with "restroom" or "bathroom" either. it's normally labeled with the word "men" or "women" and an accompanying stick figure representation of the gender. I wouldn't say it's unacceptable, but if you asked someone where their comfort room was, they'd probably ask what you're talking about (if they're American).
