Those feelings and instincts will help keep you safe if you listen to them.
No need to be paranoid but it's the foolish person who completely ignores their spidey senses.
What on earth is meant by "party supplies"? I just had someone respond to my ad offering rather more than my usual rate if I showed up immediately and brought "party supplies". (This after contacting me earlier and offering my usual rate if I'd show up immediately... no.)
Condoms are a given, but it makes the wicked side of me extremely tempted to show up with shiny hats, streamers, and confetti shooters. Possibly even cans of silly string.
As a note, I believe that most of us are less concerned with a client being "handsome, generous, and passionate" and more concerned with him bringing shiny locking bracelets. It's nice if you're drop-dead gorgeous but it doesn't mean you're not LE!
Curiously,

Party favors, party supplies, party girl etc., refer to drugs, usually cocaine (but also ecstasy, meth, etc.)
When you get requests like that. Don't reply. Put him on ignore or DNS list!
And oh boy is he on the DNS list. Sounded like he was already a little too out of it to remember who he contacted! I'd declined regretfully the first time, as I don't see people I haven't screened and almost never "right now" and he was very polite and apologetic.
And then that second inquiry came in, as though we'd never communicated. *shaking head* I think he already had all the party supplies he needed...

It sounds just like what LE would do to try to "stack" charges on you, but even if it was simply some drugged out idiot, either way I am sure you dodged a bullet.
It's part of why I simply WILL NOT accept immediate engagements; I need time to screen. Once in a while I can do same-day, but again - I need lead time, even if it's for someone I've pre-screened.
It's a shame, though; I really was looking forward to a stay at that hotel at some point in future. Now it's off my list.

I just have a bad feeling now. Thoughts?

I've turned down or cancelled bookings because of a gut feeling before. The only time I ignored it was a less than pleasant experience; not nearly as bad as it could have been, but he was blocked as soon as he was out the door.
I think I'll be sticking with TER and P411 for a while! That gave me the heebies.
...and bring drugs so we can charge you with drug possession as well as prostitution. We will even pay you more if you come while we aren't busy busting someone else.

I like to read.
A great book is: How To Read A Liar.
I've experimented with it and use the tools I learned every .... single .... day.
Be smart. If you would like clients that are safe then you need to be able to identify people that ARE SAFE.
Be well.
show up with an armful of those things you blow through and then they unravel while making a squeaking sound, and a bunch of pointy hats that stay on with elastic straps. A handful of balloons would be a nice touch too.
But, as others have pointed out, you have just been contacted by either LE or a lunatic.
But yes. Giving hotel name and descriptions one would give to someone on a dating site rather than... well. Yes.
(It may well have been an accurate physical description, too. A lot of the LE around here are quite decorative.)
