Called a girl without reviews, and she told me up-front which hotel she was in. Her as in on BP, and it surprised me that she was in a nice hotel downtown.

I know that some local girls use decent hotels and have ads on BP, but most of the ones I can tihink of are also on P411.

Do you assume that if she has a cheaper hotel then she would be cheaper and is that what you were going for?

...which most would consider nice hotels. Many less than $100/nite. Pretty affordable.

Sure could be some novice mistakes, but if there is any discussion of services and price, I'd stay clear.

This may be an area where the hobby is an exception, and that would be a good thing. Rich girls preen differently. I don't know how to describe it, but it might be that they're used to being paid attention on a personal level. There's no reason that a girl who's using the hobby to move up shouldn't book a nice hotel, but it still threw me to have her name her hotel right away.

A savy shopper can get a good deal on a nice room so that's not a problem. Telling you where she is on the phone is also not so bad, she has to tell you eventually any way. Posting her location in her ad, if that's really where she is, is a poor plan.

And I've seen quality providers who advertised on BP only and used nice rooms.  I don't see it as a red flag in and of itself.

BY DT, I am assuming you mean Minneapolis. If yes, then I would not worry as much. I seldom hear of stings in that DT area. Not to say they don't happen, but far less frequently compared to a lot of inner ring suburbs. Also, if you meant downtown Saint Paul, then I would be a bit more critical just because of that cities rather heavy handed approach to the hobby in general.

I am not concerned about the fact she's using a nice hotel but to give her location with no appt set is scary.
Please advice her to only give a general location if asked UNTIL an appt is confirmed.

If a cop is calling a provider to set up an appointment and try to make an arrest, I don't see how not getting the name of the hotel until the 'second' call, is going to hinder him one iota.  If the gal has numerous callers in circling mode, then it might be better if the circling pattern is larger to avoid congestion.  

She is putting her fate in the hands of a total stranger. Any number of things could happen. He could be a stalker, he could inform the hotel this lady is hooking out of it, he could be LE, a rapist, murderer, ect.  

Bri,

I completely agree with you. I think she is just new and hope that when gentleman to come across some of these gems that they refer them to ter. Its a good place to learn a lot more about safety and there's a great group of people here.

I hope for her sake if anyone is PM'ing you for the gal's ID you use discretion in who you are giving her info to & refrain from disclosing the hotel she is at.

I was going to say that if a person can plan 4 - 5 days ahead, then Tue-Th you can get some nice rooms for less than $100 via Priceline.

Exactly right !

and paid less than half the motels regular rate.  Booked it as I was sitting in hotels parking lot.

Maybe, could be one of those, but really I don't know any lovely ladies here that would, reason being, is the first call would be to get some screening information to continue to set up the date and I would hope that would narrow it down also as far as any local friendly government agency slipping in easily, way too easily. JMHO

If for any reason the rest of the conversation does not go well and she decides she doesn't want to go through with it well he already knows the hotel.

It's possible she was at a different hotel in the same area and just gave that location to get you close, I have seen that done.

Maybe I didn't read this thread thoroughly enough; however, who's to say this isn't a new LE tactic?

My advice is to stay away from BP girls.  It's not that they are rip offs or aren't great gals but chances of being bait and switched, duped, mugged, or cheated out of your time is greater with them than ladies who have their own sites or are on 411.  I'm speaking from experience and we here in the Twin Cities have awesome local girls that are hard to beat so enjoy them.
