You might not know this but the toilet is not the worst in terms of germs. The items found to have the maximum number of germs is usually the remote controls, switches etc. 

Avoid handling it directly or use a wipe to clean the surface first. Though it might sound wasteful it is actually a better to ask for fresh linen.

Call of the hotel reception and talk them into postponing the same room you booked to the next week. Chances are the reception will gladly do so. Now, all you have to do is call them up in a day or 2 to cancel the room reservation, in this way you won't have to pay any last minute cancellation fees.
