Towels supplied by SPs in hotels

[willholiday101]

Curious to know other experiences with getting a towel from an SP.

I like to shower before and after a punt but in recent times I have either been handed a hand towel by an SP or a towel that has been used before. Apparently it is difficult for SPs to get a number of towels in a hotel without raising more cost or unnecessary questions.

It just seems to have got worse recently in London.

Any thoughts?

It's grim isn't it? I don't mind a hand towel but a soggy, used (possibly several times) one is awful. It's a good reason to punt early for hotel meets or even bring your own. People should feedback more in reviews about this. All it takes is a few quid to the maid and a wink and job done.

always worse for touring conveyor belt girls. i always wash at home. Pretend to shower there if the facilities are no good. Just turn water on, pretend and come out.
or u take your own in a bag if it bothers you.

Yeah, for hotel meets, if I don't know the SP, I will bring my own. Learned this the hard way over the years. Never thought to mention it in a review but probably worth including in the future.

Yeah I think I have been lucky in the past purely because I prefer to punt in the morning as possibly first client of the day.

Does anyone take their own sheets??

How do you explain the need to take a towel with you in the mornings to your loved ones ?

say that you're going to the gym or for a lunchtime run

One SP who regularly toured showed me her suitcase full of towels which she brought with her when staying in a hotel. She would also raid the hotel linen cupboards if they were left open.

I think obviously if the SP has any intelligence or cares about her clientele. Then she will have sorted this out. Either asking for more towels from the room service girls or as someone mentioned. Bringing some of ger own.
Always more difficult I guess for the revolving door, P&D brigade who might need a couple of dozen 🤷🏼

I mentioned this previously on a “Walking” thread.
Visited a really pretty black girl in a Kingston hotel a few years back. She was a corker. As I entered the room I could see the room was scruffy, bed looked unmade, her suitcase lying on the floor with clothes all over the place. Bathroom door open ( on the left) as I walked in with at least three or four towels on the floor or draped on a hanger.
I simply turned and left.

Nope…….. gimme that Ellie Rose mouthwash with little cup, freshly folded towel, selection of toiletries any day

I’ve always taken my own. I keep a punting kit in the boot of my car.

Also heard girl walk the corridors to find the maid trolley and grab a few extra ones.

Yes - I recently had and did similar. The room was in an utter state and the bed was unmade. For the avoidance of doubt in her mind, I mentioned that the place was pigsty, before exiting, stage left, with my £200 intact.
