Default retrete

It depends on the context... I think the best word to use is "toilet".

I live in Michigan (USA), and people mostly say "baño". I hope this is what you're looking for!

I've also heard "servicios", but "banos" is the most common in my neck of the woods (CA).

Default "restroom"

I think "restroom" is the most common generic term for the place where the toilets are.
