Every time I travel and stay at a hotel, I always take a few towels for my garage or when I have to wipe up oil when I remove the oil filter, it sure beats using paper towels.
I thought that was why they required a credit card to get a room...so they could charge you for this #@$%! if it comes up missing. Hardly worth a police report, but what else do they have to do besides look for people going 2mph over the speed limit.
