Newbie here, but fairly well-informed and I've read through these discussion boards extensively.  Don't know if this has been answered before, but here goes ---

Since I prefer outcalls, I'm wondering about hotel procedures for checking out early, like not even staying for the night, but leaving after the 1-hr or 2 hr session in the evening.  Is it as easy as just throwing the keys in the room and leaving, or does one have to actually check-out "in person" at the front lobby?  Has anyone ever experienced the hotel calling you to see if you've checked out yet?  Are there any differences in how hotels handle checkout procedures?

I had the same questions a few weeks ago, for my first time. I was planning on going back the next morning to check out. I decided to call the hotel and ask, they don't know who you are. I was told I could just leave the keys in room. It made things a lot easier for me. I don't know that all hotels allow that, but I suspect most do...just call. Hope this helps.

Client: If you follow all protocol,except physical handing over the card key,they shouldn't bother you. Leave card key on the desk.
Provider: I always paid in cash. As long as you didn't run up any other costs or steal anything you will be fine.

Hope that helps sweety.

get in your car and go. The room is paid for up front and the hotel doesn't require a personal checkout. Leave the room keys on the bed or the nightstand.

If you wanna check out early it is of no concern to the desk clerk at the hotel.
If the room has already been paid for simply leave the keys with the clerk and tell him the bed needs too be made.

Don't even worry about the room keys, they cost less than a penny apiece nowdays.

Unless I am worried about excessive bar bills being added to my bill when I stay at resort hotels out of the country, I never check out of hotels.

If you plan on using this hotel often for trysts, you may wish to consider coming back in the a.m. and physically tuning in the key.  Bring a cup of coffe with you, as if you ran out for breakfast.  If its a small town, with limited hotels, your checking in and leaving after an hour may cause attention.

Also make sure you remove the DND sign from the door, or you may get that call from the hotel, asking if you are checking out or a visit from the hotel staff to your room to see if you are okay.  This, in itself, is not bad.  However, its not great to draw attention if you plan to go back there.

Or, in Chicago, there are upscale "lovers hotels" that do rent by the hour or longer.  Many have hot tubs.  These places expect you to be there for a short visit.  *wink*

Just leave when you are done. I spend 100 or more night a year in hotels and I haven't "checked-out" in years.  If you have incurred incidental expenses you may want to review them on your in-room electronic folio.  Otherwise just leave. The hotel simply assumes that you will be gone at check-out time the next day.  They really don't care how long you use the room for. I also do out calls and leave after the appointment quite a bit of the time.  It's not a big deal.

This almost seems comical but I suspect it is real. With credit cards and automatic door keys, if you leave the night before or the next morning just put your keys on the table, and walk out the door. You don't have to stop at the front desk or say anything. They have your credit card on file and will apply any charges you have incurred.
I have never had a problem at all. I have left at midnight, and 8 in the morning. So, relax and know ...no one really cares what others are doing...we just think they do!

Kisses,
Victoria

I did this a few times in Reno. In fact, one time I still had several nights left over on the stay. Got myself a comped room in a brothel, why even bother using the room that I paid for when I could be closer to the action?

The hotel's viewpoint is that they made their money. The less time you spend there, the better. I even have a friend that legitimately stayed at a hotel for 3 hours because of needing a place to crash close to an airport before making a red-eye.

My advice differs from some of what the others have said: check out by phone in the morning, leave the do not disturb sign on the door. Never had a problem doing this. Your phone call is essentially you left in a hurry. Unlike the advice about not leaving the DND sign up, they won't come busting down the door or looking for you because you let them know you left. And, this way it looks like you spent the night.

Another poster said that card keys are cheap. They are. I keep them as souvenirs now. There was an article a year back about how sometimes these actually have your CC number imprinted on the stripe. So, it's legitimate and doesn't raise flags to keep the room key.

appreciate all the suggestions; sounds like it is completely OK to just leave whenever you are ready to go, with another option of maybe calling the lobby to check out the next morning.  Might give both a try!  thanks!

And go home.  You can, at your option, check out, or just leave.  If I stayed the night, I would check out before leaving the following morning.  If you are are planning to just do a multi-hour, and return home that evening, I would just do the silent check-out, leave your keys in the room, and just split.

How often is the best solution also the simplest? I leave and even tell them I am coming back if they ask.

Geez what hotels are you guys using that they are asking where your going and why your leaving?  
If they are chatty, I'll make friendly small talk with them, but I don't give them any info!

Heavens, I'm an adult and I"ll come and go when the "F" I please.  But I usually use the side or back door that doesn't go by the lobby specifically because the hotel staff doesn't need to know when I come and go from my room.  They don't need to see a gentleman leave and then see me leave exactly 20 mins afterwards so I got out a back or side exit door even if it means walking around the building to get to my truck.  

I only use hotels for incall and have never had a problem cause I keep traffic low and keep my whereabouts discreet as well.

I try to keep a sense of direction in the hotel.  Even though I walk with a cane, I can easily go down the stairs!  I try to park near a stairwell/fire exit/outside door.  (Sure, I can't get back in without a key card, but I'm leaving!)  If I must switch wings, I do so on the room floors, avoiding the lobby.

Most have an information channel and among the options are check out w/o going to front desk. You can review charges, press "confirm" and request a print out be sent to you (if you are doing expense accounts

Bottom line- you never have to officially check out unless you are leaving a day or two earlier than your confirmed dates.

That way they know to close the ticket out, even though it ends up not mattering.

As I mentioned in another post, I didn't have difficulty checking out with a few days left either. I guess, if you want your money back then probably (and you likely won't unless your hotel has a very liberal policy). But, if you really have to go and let them keep the money why would they stop you? Maybe it'll attract a little more attention with that one person you speak with, but that's about it. Unless you plan on regularly booking 3 days and staying 1, should never be an issue.
