This happened to me at an incall hotel I booked... I freaked! Then I came up w the idea to park my car somewhere obvious, left the car door unlocked when I had an appt, and placed the key under the driver's side mat. When the client arrived, I had him call for me to then describe where the car was and where I had left the key. Of course I put the key in a different hiding spot each client visit. A little risky but it was the best I could come up with!
Good luck!
I live in a small condo in Miami. It was great as even though there is visible security there was no elevator key access and so when providers visited they just went to the elevator and up to my room.
It is small enough that I can imagine that reception might guess without absolutely knowing the intention or destination of the guest.
I am now worried how to deal with the key access. I would not feel comfortable meeting the provider downstairs.
Am I needlessly worrying? Any suggestions or tricks? Obviously I would let the provider know they need to call into reception to get access upstairs.
Meet the gal outside ur place and walk in together or pick her up n take her home.. or if it's a gal u deal with alot give her a key so she can cum str8 in to the elevator

I'm visiting Orlando Florida and I booked a hotel that requires key card at elevator, I wasn't aware of that. So I did stay my first night but I checked out early and thankfuly they did give me back the money for the rest of my stay and only charged me a smaller "checking out early fee"
I would not be comfortable letting anyone in my car to grab the key card without me being there, The client could be a cop or one of those guys who steals cars and they know how to make them run. You never know.
I'm at a different hotel now.
A few times I have been in hotels that required keys, I told the gal about the key requirement. She said don't worry, a friend of hers does her incalls in the same hotel, and she used her friend's key to get through the elevator. I am not sure if the friend was her or not, but the number of times this happened in a few cities puts that in doubt.
Every resident is allowed to use their own electronic key codes to get in to the complex. It is part of the overall security system, every unit has a mini gadget like ipad mini next to the main door. I can give out the electronic key to a known visitor who enters it on a keypad outside the main gate. The same key code has to be used in the elevator. I can see the person at the main gate and also at the elevator through a video image. It takes the visitor to the correct floor, the elevator door will not open on other floors. Once the visitor is in, I will change the code.
Works pretty well.
Lately some of the larger hotels in major cities I have vacationed in have required you to swipe a card to activate the elevator. Some have been during certain hours, while others all night.
The good ones come dressed appropriately. Usually when I have had to meet the provider downstairs, there were crowds in the lobby and it's natural for people to crowd in the elevator. We just walked into the elevator together no questions asked.
Now condo's may be a difference due to people knowing you.
That is true in Fontainebleau in Miami Beach for those guests who stay in club level. You have to swipe your room electronic card to reach club level. Without that the elevator buttons for that level does not work. It is not only for security but also the club level has a 24 hour buffet where they keep breakfast, lunch and dinner items based on time of the day, wine, coffee and bottled water. If anyone tries to sneak in to those floors with another unsuspecting guest, the staff who control the buffet place asks for your room key.
They don't want regular hotel guests getting in there and rummaging the place.
Haven't been in Fountainebleau in years, but that makes sense.
The most recent cities where I remember this, were in the Centre City part of Philadelphia. Montreal, Toronto, Atlanta near Buckhead and Washington DC near Dupont Circle.
Montreal was the worst. The hotel was half condo's half hotel rooms, and my room was on the floor that required using the elevator that the Condo's tenants used. So I had to show my Key to the security guard by the Elevators, the first few times I even had to show a Photo ID. To activate the button for your flow you had to swipe the key. It would only unlock the floor your room was on. If there were multiple people in the elevator with different floors, each person had to scan the key to activate their floor.
I got the hotel room for a "dirt cheap" price of 90 a night, found out later it was a very high end hotel that is normally 500 a night. Now I know why the room was so cheap. Who the heck wants to put up with all of that on vacation?
On a recent visit to a provider in Philadelphia, she placed a key in a hidden yet easily located area. Then she provided very detailed directions on how to enter the building, find the key, and access the elevator. Once I found and had the key, I looked like every other guests. I thought it was very clever.
