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.
