Yeah, I've definitely made use of motel sinks--sometimes even gas station sinks. The only problem I've found with washing in stream/lake water is that even in clean, clear water, there are organisms in the water that seem to remain in the fabric and start to smell after mixing with sweat and body heat . . . or maybe it's just me!
