They are more private and secure.

Nosy neigbors have been known to tip off LE.

... that's why I prefer apts, even trickpads, unless I am seeing someone I know in the hotel.

Anyway to tell if its safe to see a provider in a hotel?  Could this be a bad thing if that is where she is?

If it is a large hotel, it it pretty easy most times to get up to her room.

You simply become another face in the crowd.

Most providers will give you specific instructions on the 2nd part of a 2 call system on where the elevator is when you come into the lobby and what to expect to see when you get there so you will "know" where you are going.

If you walk into the lobby and calmly walk to the elevator and look like you belong there then you shouldn't have any issues.

Exceptions to this are some of the hotels in Vegas require you to show your hotel key card to get on the elevator.

It's all part of the provider's job to get you safely and discreetly up to her room.

If I had to guess, I'd say at least 50% of providers use hotels.  As long as it's a good one, with a lobby where you can be anonymous, it's fine.  Sleazy motels with rooms that open on a parking lot are the ones to avoid because you're easily spotted by LE.

how to find the elevator.  "Straight through the lobby and to your right or left" but the afvance knowledge is a big help in moving through the lobby confidently.

Hotels are, in my book, the preferred method for seeing an escort, be it incall or outcall. That way no one knows where you live, and as noted above, you become a face in the crowd.  When seeing a lady in a hotel I wear business attire, know exactly where the elevators are, and don't linger in the lobby. And if you have done your homework on the lady ahead of time, choosing only well-reviewed providers, your hobby experience is as safe as it can be.  I avoid incalls at the lady's house or apartment, owing to nosy neighbors and the risk of LE.

Pretty costly , but at least you will have piece of mind.

Persoanlly I travel a lot and usually have a room anyway, and that is my preferred location.  But the ocation has never stopped me from seeing someone I want to see.

This is why I am wary of going to hotels for incall unless the provider is well known.
