Seen this on local boards, too.

Some cities the airport and downtown are fine, no so much in others. I wouldn't recommend downtown LA, the West LA would be my rec.  San Diego downtown works, but parking can be an issue. I prefer La Jolla, UTC, or even Hotel Circle, even though some locals don't care for Hotel Circle.  

Check the local board. Scroll back a number of pages and eventually you'll find a thread or two on best incall location.

When you're from another country it's tough to know what areas in cities are the best places to book hotels for a tour. If I'm in Chicago I stay downtown for example but I'd like to tour LA and San Diego and any ideas where I should park my butt or about particularly easy access provider friendly hotels there would be much appreciated

PM. Not a good idea to mention specific hotels on an open forum. Areas of cities are OK like you mentioned downtown Chicago.

....but if you're not, then I hear San Diego is good

.....hotel directory, and the site is "ladies only".  

Warm regards,

Illegal business.That's why everyone worry about cops.

the manager has hinted that he doesn't care what she does...  she refused to confirm his suspictions.  She brings her own trash bag for wrappers & envolupes which she disposes of in a common dumpster. No point in leaving tell tales behind!  It's still illegal!  
The same hotel told a high volume girl not to come back.  I'd seen her there once.  (Did not know she was high volume until I was on my way out...
