When meeting a client at a hotel...who's responsibility is it to pay for the room? The provider or hobbyist?
is this an incall or outcall visit?
Incall - he visits you at the place of your choice. It can be your home (not advisable), a condo or apartment you've rented for business purposes, or a hotel room you've rented to entertain clients. If this is the case, you pay for the room.
Outcall, he invites you to meet him at a place of his choice. It could be his home, or a hotel room if he is traveling, or can't entertain at home. In this case, he pays for the room.
A simple rule - HE or SHE who books the room is responsible for paying for it!!!

I'm using an alias because I don't want to out a lady who is trying to go more UTR (under the radar). But anywho, this lady I met has an in-call option where there is an additional charge if SHE obtains or books the Hotel room, since she does not have a more traditional in-call location. If it's a pure out-call to a location the hobbyist has paid for, then there's no additional charge. The additional charge is clearly noted on her rates page to avoid any confusion. Just wanted to mention this additional option.
That's why a lot of ladies have different rates for in-call vs. out-call.
For a lady that has multiple dates per day (touring lady), she will usually charge extra for out-call. She has already incurred the cost of the room, so she charges extra for the additional time required to get to/from the out-call location.
As you are starting out, you will probably only have one date per day. So, the room is an added cost to you. As such, you will probably have in-call rates that are higher than out-call rates.
Note: When you do get the room, get a decent place. You don't have to get the Ritz Carlton, but get something better than Motel 6. It is all part of your mystique, and the more upscale ambiance will help attract (and keep) more upscale gentlemen. Once you have a reputation for booking cheap hotels, upscale gentlemen may avoid you, and it is hard to upgrade your reputation.
There are things you can do to minimize the in-call no show problem (you pay for the room, and he doesn't show up).
Always book a room that opens to a central hallway and not directly to the out side. It's much safer for everybody involved
I have been doing outcalls only, but have gotten several requests for incall. These gentlemen have asked me to email them if I decide to do incalls. I think I might get a hotel room and schedule two or three appointments for that day. The only thing keeping me from doing it is that I don't know if I want to handle that much traffic.
I would pass some of the hotel charge on to them, not all, because w/o the room, I wouldn't have their business at all. Plus, I get to use the hotel hot tub! Whoo!!!
