If LE is talking to you then it is a bigger problem.

Dress and act like you belong.  No one will have any reason to suspect you at all.

When I think about some of the things that I've done at hotels while on vacation I'm not surprised that they don't bother me when I'm headed to an appointment.  
If it's a hotel with a small lobby, I try to go out a side door when I leave. Otherwise I don't worry about it.

Hotels

Act like you belong and don't look guilty of something.  I will ask the lady where the elevator is or directions to the room, so your not standing around gawking at signs.  I always carry an old lap top in my bag.  It has no hard drive, so if I had to I would say I heard someone was buying them in that hotel. Also have a newspaper folded up in my hand.  Maybe really overkill, but I've never felt uncomfortable visiting a hotel.   bigdell

Once I had cell trouble outside the hotel, couldn't get texts through and couldn't make out what the girl was saying. So I decided to wait in the lobby, and probably made more of a scene than necessary hanging around near the entrance, then in the lobby. It was a fairly small lobby, with just me and a couple of clerks chit-chattimg behind the desk. Eventually the girl showed up and we headed up.  

If that didn't set off red flags, I don't know what would. They simply don't care about you that much.

I was heading into a hotel to see my ATF.  The cleaning maids were out in the hallway with their cart, coming in and out of rooms.  My ATF just happened to have the weird room that was tucked back near the elevator, so it wasn't in clear view like the other rooms.  I noticed that the room numbers were too high, and backtracked, deciding to check the weird door tucked back by the elevator.  Sure enough, that was the right room, and the maid was in my way with her cart.  I gave her a nod and a smile and said "Hello," which she reciprocated.  I knocked on the door, and my ATF opened it and let me in with the maid watching us the whole time.  We then collapsed on the bed in a fit of nervous laughter, and once that was over, the date proceeded as planned.  There were no knocks on the door or calls on the room phone.  No one paid any attention to me when I left, either.  So, the moral of the story is:  don't get freaked out by hotels.  Just act like you belong there.

Let's reverse the question.  Has anyone EVER been asked by hotel staff what they are doing there?  It sounds unlikely to me.  The only time I chit chat with the staff is when registering for the room.

There is good advise here so far by everyone:

1. Ask the provider where the elevators are.
2. Leave out a side door or other place than by the front desk
3. Carry a bag
4.  Bring a cup of coffee, water bottle, muffins, donuts, newspaper, etc.
5. Act like you belong

I have never felt out of place going to a hotel.   It also depends on the hotel as well.   Lots of hotels by airports and tourist areas see so much traffic it is crazy.  People always going in and out.   The front desk cant tell if you are there to pick someone up, visiting someone, have a room, etc.

How hotels are being taught to look for providers is..... extra towels, cleaning crews looking into garbage (ie: condoms and stuff of that nature), lots of room service and nobody leaving that room, cleaning crews noticing bedding on couches.... and other room is being "un touched" so to speak... etc.   One person checking into the room and never seen again.... See my woodbury post.... and other Stuff like that.

Then add in the foot traffic to one specific room..... that is why leaving on a side entrance is good idea.

Here are  to good tips  
1.  Ask the provider for the layout of the hotel, elevators, room number etc. before setting foot in the place.  
2.  Walk in the door while having a cell phone to your ear having a pretend conversation.  Nobody will bother you as it is socially awkward interrupt somebody on the phone, and it also is harder to recognize you later .
