    Yet somehow the hotel towels are several times better at actually drying than my thick luxurious towels at home

      Are you using fabric softener? That makes your towel less absorbent. If you’re using detergent with built in softener it’ll do the same.

      Wash your towels with a cup of vinegar to remove the softener.

        Should I shower with vinegar and then use my crappy home towel?

        And/or borax in the machine with the soap. Helps a lot.

    Growing up, all the towels we had at home were stolen from hotels.

      Growing up we never went to hotels or anywhere, really. Mother stole our towels from grandma, who got them free from the grocery store on rewards points in the 70’s.

    When you shop for towels, don’t get a towel, get a “bath sheet”. They are XL towels

        You can go to a better place and pay less, but you go ahead and act superior since you clearly know what you’re talking about and aren’t just pulling shit out of your ass.

    Two stories:

    The last time I stayed in a Motel 6, maybe 35 years ago, the towel was practically tissue paper.

    I once delivered a box of towels to the Senate Club at the Forum (back when the Lakers played there), and wow did I ever see how the wealthy live! Those were the biggest, most luxurious towels I’ve ever felt.

    Has anyone noticed hotels are also giving you less towels overall? Last hotel I stayed at I got one bathtowel, one hand towel and a washcloth. Guess If I spill anything I’ll just clean it with the bath mat?

        Usually it’s at two of everything. Especially now that housekeeping only stops by once per stay these days.

    I have had to stay in a lot of hotels and the good the bad and the disgusting, it doesn’t matter.

    I am bringing my own fucking towel. You can say “stay at a nicer place” all you want. but those who can afford those places, are also those who can affod to be the sickest, most perverted fuckers out there and employees that give far less a fuck’s worth of care.

          Pillow menu. Not towel menu. You can ask the hotel for a latex pillow or foam or soft or hard or duck feathers etc.
