The 3-4 star hotels in the area charge $300-$400 (even for Priceline Express). My regular provider, who sees only 1 or 2 clients a day, just went home.
The next week, the rate went back down to less than $100.Is it wrong to cancel because a provider who advertises as an upscale provider, and charges upscale prices, is staying at a lower end motel? And should I tell them that's the reason I'm cancelling?
If you booked an appt and don't like the hotel she has gotten you could say something. Sometimes we run into days in the area where all hotels are booked up or way overpriced. Then we are forced to get a room at the Comfort Inn or Extended Stay. When those happen the girl should inform her client.
I agree if a provider is charging certain rates she should not be staying at motels. A lady can also Priceline , but it does happen here and there that everything is booked and you get stuck.
It's tricky because if you can otherwise make it, it sucks to just cancel on a provider. Especially if she got the room and is only seeing you, then she is out that money. If you really can't follow through then maybe at least send her money to cover the room?
Again I ask what hotel is she staying at that so turns you off. A Sleep Inn, Microtell? Myself personally now, I would never stay in those hotels. I feel like we as providers all have a brand. And what hotels we see clients in is part of that. I do understand though, that sometimes we get stuck. I have had to take off because all hotel were booked. All the decent and nice hotels anyway.
This was a pre-determined tour in which I requested an appointment on one of the available dates that were listed for a certain area. The tour was set over a month ago, so I can't imagine it's a last minute booking thing. I'd rather not say the specific motel just to keep things safe, but it's a 1 or 2 star place similar to red roof. Also, it's not in the area that was indicated when I scheduled.

General rule of thumb is a minimal of 3.5-5 star for upscales providers. Or at least that's what I do. Sounds like she may have been low on funds and was relying on your conservation to stay up... just my opinion
But I'd meet you anywhere, red roof barn, read roof tent, red roof car, red seat bicycl
Even when prices are high at hotels it's still no excuse to go to a low end motel but I could be missing something.
If someone is charing 1000 - 1200 (high end prices) it's not going to cost over 300 to get a very nice hotel so the provider still profits in a good way. Some even ask the client to cover the room if he can't do a outcall. Many ways to handle this. Many ways to handle it to prevent going to a low end motel.

If you are concerned that you might be in an unsafe area, then you should say something. I think most would agree that cancelling would be legit for safety issues if no alternative could be arranged.
If it's a clean and safe place, I don't think it's worth cancelling. When playtime starts I'm not worried about the decor.
For me, cancelling is an absolute last resort. But I think everyone has to use their own best judgment.
We have no choice... The hotels are fully booked or the prices are outrageously ridiculous!!! BLAME CONGRESS .... Don't fault the provider!!!
... depends on how low end it is (edit: read your follow-up that it was 1-star or 2-star level).
And in the end if it's not a safe neighborhood either it almost doesn't matter if it's a "upscale" hotel.
If you don't feel comfortable with where she's staying I mean you could ask to find nicer accommodations.
I mean technically you're not supposed to be seeing the girl for the room but 300hr+ (though 300-400 is still kind of mid-range jmo (I know you didn't mention a rate just inserting myself a little)) could definitely stand to do better than anything ending with Lodge or Inn unless it's maybe the Hampton Inn (& Suites) or Fairfield Inn (& Suites) or Residence Inn.
Lol and see...those hotels are okay with me but there's probably someone reading my comment right now going "ewww" at those hotels.
It's your prerogative though....if you're not comfortable just don't do it.

this is what i would do first...
check the rates of said hotel.
go to hotels.com and see what other rates are for that evening.
many may pre plan a tour, but book a hotel last minute. i am guilty of that. its part of my suspense to look at the hotels, but wait to pull the trigger.
if hotels.com has the ritz at 900, the hilton at 600 and motel 6 at 300, well...
on the other hand, if the ritz is 150, the hilton is 99 and the motel 6 is 49, i see a problem.
that being said.. i drive a lot and i have stayed at some awesome motel 6's. they arent what they used to be. neither are some red roofs. i travel with my dogs so these are pet friendly motels that come in handy when i am sleepy.

As a hobbyist, the number one criteria I look for in a hotel is if it's well set up for you to operate discreetly. There's warning signs if the hotel is totally ghetto, but I'm a little cautious with very high end hotels as well. The most important aspect to a hotel I think is whether it has a back door with convenient access to elevators.
