I am curious what other guys do when they are hosting the lady at their hotel room instead of going to the lady's incall place and what the lLadies' perspective is for these questions although I think I know most of the sincere and insincere answers.  I am trying to determine if there is a norm or standard for any of these ideas.  I have a date this week and am hosting so here're my questions:

1.  I chose to host so that means I am paying for the room.  If not visiting ATL, is this typical?
2.  How do you chose a hotel based on safety?  Do you want a suite or one room is fine?
3.  Do you take time to set a mood- music, lighting?  Or, am I just admitting to being a romantic and I should just shut up and fuck her!

I live in ATL but definitely not inviting the lady to my home.  I also have a very strong aversion to the agency apartment scene- too much activity, too many people for me to get comfortable.  

Thanks in advance,
Z

I'm eager to know too!  I do a lot of outcalls to nice hotels.  Personally I take charge of the lighting!  :

Since I am currently without an in call apartment at this time this topic I have developed some thoughts on this topic. I hope to have in call set up soon however I have found the hotel experience not so bad. First as far as safety is concerned any local three star or better hotel will be perfectly safe. Additionally  since I gather you intend to visit with the one lady there is no concern with traffic. Since my return to Atlanta I have been fortunate to have many local gents spring for hotel and I have also provided a room. A suite is nice but generally a room preferably with a King bed serves nicely. I am very fond of a few candles and music and definitely feel worth the effort! I have been known to show up with a couple of candles in my purse when others have been kind enough to host. I have found the use of Priceline helpful. I have a list of creature comforts I have come to enjoy having on hand. Preparation and thought for your date can make all the difference and I find always appreciated. I hope you enjoy your date. Cheers,💋Lydia

Preparing the room , creating a romantic atmosphere , waiting for that soft knock on the door.....all these things really enhance the experience for me .....and I hope for the lady.

As for the room.
If you can snag an affordable suite , great . If not I try to get something that is at least an executive king. And large enough to have a couch & coffee table.  I like plenty of room. Don't be shy to ask for something with a nice view.

As for prep
When the lady enters she will be met by soft music , dim lights and multiple candles. On the coffee table will be wine or champagne chilling. Also a cool bag with a gift and usually a box of Godiva's.

BTW , on weekends in most cities you can get some amazing rooms for reduced rates. But be sure the lady you want to see is available on weekends

I agree Khori, this is an excellent question. I really like the response from STPhomer below. Now there's a man that knows how to play well with the ladies!

Yes!!! This is a great response! Honestly,  nobody wants to fuck and be all romantic in fluorescent lights lol good mucic,  good beverage and candles definitely =a really hot time  
XOXO

Fortunately the lady and i have been together multiple times and have a wonderful rapport.  None of this really mattered to her but does to me -I am a giver until it is time to take!.  I got it all including  the wind cooler ("upscale" hotel didn't have one so had to go buy one to keep the champagne chilled) except the candles.  The candles didn't make sense given the time of day and you can't really black out the sunlight.  

Thanks again,
