The Worst Hotel Bath Mat
I recently stayed at the London Heathrow Comfort Hotel. I paid around $100 for a one night stay. Usually, hotels leave a cotton bath mat in the bathroom. Okay, most of the time they’re thin, but I understand the hotel is trying to save water and a thin bath mat is probably easier to wash than a thick one. But this is the first time I have ever been given a paper bath mat. What a waste of paper! When I stepped on the paper bath mat, I could feel the cold floor. Maybe this was a joke?
