Is it a reasonable assumption that larger US hotels will have laundry facilities?
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.

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.
