I like a fast drying thin towel. They have less of a chance to start smelling because they aren't damp for long. We have some fluffy ones that have picked up smells. They smell fresh when washed but get wet and start to stink. They look good and match the decor, but I use the ugly thin ones that clash.
If it starts to smell or gets a little stiff, I throw it in the hamper. Maybe every two weeks. But with the fluffy ones, it's only a few days, because they stink.
