¿Soy un baño?

Lo siento, no habla español.

Derailing because I'm randomly interested: does (Mexican) Spanish say "baño" for the room where you go to pee? Even if there's nothing but a loo and a basin there? I know next to no Spanish but according to my general knowledge about languages "baño" looks more like somewhere you primarily take a bath rather than a place to pee. I thought that kind of euphemism was a very US thing.

If you asked someone in public in my native language for the "bathroom", they would probably understand you need the loo but look at you funny.

I’m from San Diego, and we always called it baño here.
