I'm travelling to the US and staying in a hotel in a tiny town in Utah round about the time I'd need to do laundry. I looked through the hotel amenities to see if it has guest laundry facilities, and it doesn't say.



The hotel is reasonably big (~100 rooms, big enough to have a swimming pool and a fitness centre), so I'd expect it to have one. They either omit that because it's obvious, or because they don't actually have one.



So, should I go into that hotel with all my dirty underwear or should try and launder before/after my stay there? I don't stay in hotels very often so excuse the ridiculous question.

          Guest Laundry facilities are not an "expected" amenity in the vast majority of hotel chains over much of the world, and that's certainly true in the US.



          In general, most larger hotels will have a laundry service - along the grounds of a price-per-item service that will get very expensive very quickly.



          Some (but certainly far from all) hotels will have coin-operated (or occasionally, free) self-service guest laundry facilities - but this is generally the mid-range or lower-end chains rather than the higher-end hotels, and even then it's very hit-or-miss, especially in the US. eg, Some "Hilton Garden Inn" hotels will have this, whilst I've never see it at the chains higher level "Hilton" hotels.



          Many (most?) apartment-style hotels will have an in-suite washer-dryer.



          If the hotel you're looking at does not explicitly list a guest laundry, it would be my expectation that they do not have one - although obviously an email/phone call to them to confirm would be the best idea.



          Alternatively, coin operated laundries are very common in the US. Odds are you'll be able to find one close to the hotel. Google Maps should allow you to find a nearby laundry and confirm it's operating hours.

          • Many coin laundries also offer a wash, dry & fold service where they do the work for you for a small fee, possibly including pickup and delivery as well. You can get a full week's laundry done this way for the price of a few items at the hotel, without having to wait around in the laundromat.

          Motels will often have a coin laundry but it’s not guaranteed. There may also be a storefront laundromat nearby.



          Most of not major hotel chains (Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, etc) will have an in-house laundry service. It can be quite expensive however.



          The simplest thing to do is to google the local number for the hotel and phone their front desk.



          Ps Many of us seasoned but thrifty travelers carry some thin rope and laundry soap so that we can string up a laundry line in the bathroom.
