Question is for both hobbyists and providers.  

Does the fanciness/star-rating of a hotel matter when setting up a meeting?  

I mean, I noticed some providers requesting no less than a certain amount of stars for a hotel on outcall, or specifying that they would not entertain locations away from the mainstream areas (for example, in Las Vegas, doing visits to Strip hotels only). Besides those outright obvious situations, does the class of the hotel really make that much of a difference in a provider's decision to meet a client or a hobbyists decision to seek company?  

As a disclaimer, I am in no way asking if a provider might feel comfortable meeting someone at a roach-infested hostel room shared with 15 other road-wary travelers. No way. Not by a long shot. However, I'm simply asking if veteran hobbyists and providers feel comfortable seeking/providing company at an average location (for example: a 3-star accommodation as opposed to the 1-star hostel or the luxury 5-star suite).  

Bonus Question: Would it be fair or insulting or maybe even make a provider look down upon me to outright ask her if she has restrictions on what type of hotels she is willing to do outcalls to?

Are what most hobbyists and escorts are looking for. You mentioned Las Vegas, the last provider I saw in Vegas was outcall to my hotel in the suburbs, it was a well knownnational chain, catering to business people. I told the provider in advance where I was, she obviously had no problem.  

However, every provider is different. For me personally I dont like to do incall to motels with doors that face outside to parking lots.

especially if it is the first time you are seeing that gal.    I have a lot of long term gals I see and they are OK if I get a two star.   I wouldn't go below that however.   Check out the hotel's rating on line to make sure it gets a good reviews, especially on cleanliness.

 
And on the subject of having rooms that face the parking lot:   Those are a favorite of LE for setting up busts since they can see the person coming and be prepared for them.   Stay away from such places.

Those cheap motels with rooms facing the parking lot are also convenient for private investigators looking to get incriminating photos.

When considering my options I look multiple issues.

Since I live with relatives when I am in both Phoenix and Las Vegas my options a little limited.

Out Call is always to a 3 star or better location. In Vegas I also consider off strip locations if to hotels considered business hotels. Mostly my requests are always 3 star are better. In many hotels the elevator has security or requires room key so usually we meet at a easy to find place in/near lobby. I have declined visits to places that are low quality.

In Call I always get location in a well known Strip/Near Strip resort or business type hotel. I make sure parking is easy or valet or cab drop is easy. I make sure elevator is open public. I try make it as easy as possible for client to get to room with minimum interaction. I don't smoke and always get non smoking room, but even sometimes I think they stink. Usually I bring a few candles or even small bottle of light smelling air freshener. I find I can almost always use Groupon to get good discounted room.

 
I don't use or go to any location that has doors facing parking lot. I prefer locations even where doors don't face courtyard. I think any clean, safe location can be fine as long as it affords a little privacy when getting to room. I don't dress like a hooker when in public, so I easily walk past the past front desk most anywhere. Usually I look like any other young Asian woman on holiday. Sometimes I will even carry a store brand plastic bag with my things inside it, to look like I am a guest and have been shopping.

 
Here is so different. In Asia in any decent hotel, every single girl is considered hooker visit. You must leave ID at desk and sign in. They call room to make sure your expected. They know exactly what is going on. You visit client, then when done go to desk get ID back. They call room make sure guest is ok and happy and you did not steal/scam him/kill him/rob him. Once he answer and say all is fine you sign out and they give you ID back.  You have no choice in this.

If the hooker robs the client, they know exactly who she is, but conversely if the client hurts the girl, or robs her, or simply refuses to pay her, she has the recourse to call the cops herself. I think that is a thousand times better a system than the one we have where both parties are often scared of the intentions of the other.

 

I also agree about 3 star hotels. I am VERY comfortable in places like Hamptons, Fairfields and the like. I don't like shit holes, but I much more concerned about the quality of the lady than the quality of the room as long as it meets certain minimum standards.
