Reviews later :}....

Once you accept Hotwire's terms, you're stuck with that hotel.  Coming down the elevator many times a day to meet  different guys in the lobby is not cool or discreet.  I like Hotwire, but most smart girls don't book hotels where the guy must be met downstairs in order  to come up.  I've had girls leave me keys to their rooms at the desk, but I'm friends with many of the girls I see.  That arrangement is not the norm.

10th Ave btwn 13th - 14th St.

At the check in.

Closed since the 2nd.  Don't know when they are reopening.

Totally true. Hotels with elevator keys are not the best bet for the hobby. Unless, as is your case, you know the girls well and they leave a key. I had a strange situation a year or two ago at the W on Lex and 48th. The "assistant" to the woman I was going to see met me on the Mezzanine and handed me the key card. As I approached the elevator someone from the hotel staff asked me where I was going and told me he saw me receive the card. Clearly they were on to something. I got indignant, made up a story, and left without returning the card to him. I then called the assistant from outside the building and told her what transpired. She told me to trash the key and apologized. I learned subsequently, when I finally saw the woman, that she left the hotel an hour after the incident and relocated.
