Travel towels?

It has always been my experience that your hotel provides towels. Even a positively ghastly hotel in St Pet about 15 years ago had towels - plenty of them (although they ranged from bath mats to dish towels in an incredible array of colors and patterns). Many were quite worn - but all were usable.
(But I know some hostels don't - is that what you're thinking of?.)

Hostels don't always, campground cabins don't, sometimes you need a towel while hiking or biking--I seriously doubt the OP doesn't realize that hotels provide towels. How weird to take him/her to task about that.

We are traveling to Sicily. It has been our past experience there that hotels provide one very very thin towel per person (almost a dish towel weight). We want an extra small towel each - microfiver type that is super absorbent and quick drying. I am just trying to choose between brands - Eagle Creek - -Rick Steeves - etc.

This may be a dumb question, but why not buy a pack of the smallish Costco microfiber cleaning cloths- the whole pack would take up less space than one real towel, they're cheap, and you would have clean towels to boot (and you could toss them as they're used).

Space is very limited - so I was trying to pack only one resuable microfiber towel. Do you think those cleaning cloths are the same thing as the "travel towels" sold on travel web sites? There's a huge difference in price! My husband has those Costco towels in his workshop! Maybe I'll test one out and see how quick it dries and how much it absorbs. Another hint about traveling to Italy (or anywhere)-----I save several "almost gone" ends of toilet paper rolls and bring them along. Each day I throw one in my backpack. It is amazing how many toilets in Italy have NO paper! I have also helped out a few desperate strangers with my mini roll of paper!

I have a question about the Costco towels. I have heard of them, but can't seem to find them. Are they in the usual towel/bedding area or somewhere else?
I use one of those Aqueis (sp?) towels for my hair at home, but think that might be what you are looking for. I got mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

The Costco towels are with the house cleaning and auto cleaning stuff at ours.
I haven't looked for one, but my guess is that the body towels are cotton instead of poly (or whatever microfiber towels are made of) and may be larger.
