It reads:
Our towels are available for purchase If you would like to purchase a towel they are available to buy from our reception team for £20.00. If you choose to take them from the room we will charge your account accordingly.
I view this as a nice polite way of saying don’t steal our towels and if you do then you will be charged £20 for each one.

This is a very simple idea for a quiz. It drops you in a random place somewhere in the world and you use Google StreetView to work out where it is.
