When I was a child I traveled a lot with my mom and adult family friends, for camping or for various conventions my mom attended; sometimes I saw my grandma who lived in Minnesota. I always loved to travel and I was always curious what kind of soaps and stuff I'd find in the bathrooms, and what the hotel or motel would be like. I tended to use the bathroom stuff cuz it was there and I was a kid, I didn't really care. During college I traveled a bit too but was a bit more cautious with using the hotel stuff because I did<do> have allergies and sensitive skin/skin reactions.
Couple times we did stay in a motel that did -not- have any soaps and stuff like that, for guests....one hotel also did not have a deadbolt lock -only chain- on the door, and the tv had three channels and was black and white. I don't recall if the phone worked. It was the only place to stay available by the time our friend with the camper <who was doing the planning> made the reservations <there was some big event going on in the city- this was in Canada>
The other motel we stayed at that didn't have any shampoo etc, was something like a Motel 6, think it was in Cairo, Ill. I remember it was a hot Summer night and we were 5 minutes from two rivers and a small levee. There were bugs in the bathroom and a cricket in the room and there was something wrong with the sink I think,,,but We didn't want to look for any other place to stay, we were tired.
