For the past few weekends I’ve slept in one Motel and one Bed and Breakfast. Which is my great grandpa’s barn that he had built. It was quite something to experience for me and learned quite a bit about the barn and what to bring when travelling.
After spending two nights at the motel and bed and breakfast I have learned something. When travelling always bring a sleeping bag to sleep in and to bring some towels. Most Motel you stay in usually uses so many chemicals in cleaning their sheets and towels and not to mention all the water needed to wash them. The sheets and towels at our Motel last week smelt pretty bad and decided next time when we go travelling to pack some towels.
Many Motels in the morning have breakfast and they usually serve you with styrofoam plates and cups and plastic silverware. I suggest that next time bring your own plates, mug for your liquid, silverware and cloth napkins (or you could reuse napkins from restaurants and fast food that you have eaten from.), etc.
Many of these things you may need when travelling but when I had stayed the night at the Bed and Breakfast it was different. They had used real plates, silverware, glasses the whole bit. even the sheets and towels didn’t smell at all. This was the first bed and breakfast I had stayed in so there may be other Bed and Breakfast that use non-renewable items such as silver wear and plates so packing a mug, silverware and cloth napkins wouldn’t hurt much.

Hey Charles, I agree – It is always much better to take your own stuff. I travel on the train a lot to visit my fiance. It can be over a 5 hour journey so I always take a lunch box with food in and my own water and flask of tea / coffee. Its much better for the environment and cheaper than purchasing refreshments from on the train or cafes etc at the stations.
