Weird dorm room smell?

This may seem like an odd question but I'm very curious what others think. Who knows, maybe someone has had this happen to them before also!

I transferred to this new university with an extremely old friend of mine. I have been here for a week and noticed nothing. However, yesterday it started happening and today it is really strong. There is this scent that is really noticable when you open the door (and afterwards even though you get use to it) that smells like, the best way I can describe it, a wet towel that's been left out for awhile. I suppose, in a way, it smells like a gym locker lol.
I do our towels every week, I just did them Tuesday of this week. We leave them in a basket to be washed. I figured who knows maybe it was them so I picked up the basket and it didn't smell strange.

I walked over to our little fridge, no horrible smells were coming out. I stuck my head in the closets but nothing here also and I noticed nothing in the room resembles the smell that I am smelling.

I live on the fourth floor of the hall, there is another floor above me. Is it possible that the smell is going from below or above me? I don't smell anything in the hall, probably because of the amount of perfume others wear lol.

I just can't figure it out, any ideas?
Let me clarify, I do watch towels more than once a week (usually two-three) mostly due to the fact that we don't have many towels to last us the whole week! I don't have carpet or a rug and the ceiling looks clear as can be (its all white anyways). I may try to do towels ASAP and see if that fixes it.
