Yet somehow the hotel towels are several times better at actually drying than my thick luxurious towels at home

Are you using fabric softener? That makes your towel less absorbent. If you're using detergent with built in softener it'll do the same.

Wash your towels with a cup of vinegar to remove the softener.

Should I shower with vinegar and then use my crappy home towel?

Sure. Why not?

And/or borax in the machine with the soap. Helps a lot.
