"with those stupid quilts and all that."

I'm thinking, you might not want to express that when/if you visit.

You know the sorts of quilts; they are used all over America.

Rather than just decent bed-coverings, the sort that is plumped up with stuff on the inside--I know next to nothing about quilts, other than what I do not like.

When I hit the sack, I just hit the sack.

Those lumpy quilts (generic, not Norwegian, remember) remind me of nothing more than teddy-bear bedside lamps, frilly curtains, baskets of scented soap, and doilies, put in a bedroom to make it look "nice."

Bah, humbug. When I hit the sack, I just hit the sack.

These lumpy quilts in bed-and-breakfasts are not all they are made out to be; I spent one night in Wexford, Ireland with three of them on top of me, and my clothes (including my shoes and long overcoat) on, but that was perhaps the coldest night I had ever spent in my life, despite the thickness of the lumpy quilts.

The essentials, madam; just a place to lay down, and a couple of blankets, is all that is required. I assume three-quarters of the charges of bed-and-breakfasts is to pay for the things to make a room look "nice."
