More questions for the pros

I have yet to pull the cord - but I am leaning towards a provider who meets at a Hotel near our airport - her TER reviews are exceptional - but I am a little paranoid about the whole hotel thing. Any thoughts or experiences that anyone can share? It seems that the cost of the hotel would eat into her profit margin.

For awhile I was thinking, "why would a provider be willing to come to my hotel when I'm in town on business for the same price as me coming to her?"  I figured she'd have to travel to the hotel, usually downtown someplace in my case, pay for parking or a cab, etc.  Then I realized that I was saving her the cost of a really nice hotel room.  I'm starting to realize that the providers who have been around for awhile and know what they're doing have this stuff all figured out.

The vast majority of in calls happen in hotels.  An anonymous hotel room is by far the safest place to partake of the hobby.  The hotel rate is part of the gal's cost of doing business.  Don't forget, she isn't checking in just to see you.

Don't worry about her profit margin, are you her accountant? With discount hotel web sites, priceline, hot wire etc, hotel accomadations are  very reasonable evern at 4 star hotels. Call from the car in hotel parking lot, get the room #, put the phone in your pocket and don't take it out again. When you walk in the lobby, don't loiter around, go right to the elevator, go up to the floor your date is on. Knock softly on the door, she will probably be behind the door when she opens it, get in the room and lock the door. Then take her lead, she's the expert and have the time of your life. And by the way, you'll be nervous like most newbies and don't worry people have no idea why you are in the hotel. Even though you'll think everyone knows what you're there for. Good luck and write a review.

carry a briefcase or something professional so it looks like you belong there.  This is especially helpful if there isn't a conference or seminar to blend in with.

Hotels work just fine, if you have a real escort...

Some providers see more than 12 guys a day.

This reminds me of a question I had.  What is the normal procedure a reputable provider would normally do with the door?  Will they lock it and close the chain/latch?  Is it ok to check the door is locked, or will that worry them I might be jack the ripper?

In particular I get concerned about rooms that have adjoining doors, that seems like the perfect set up for stings.  Is it ok to check its locked?

I am in and out of hotels all the time, both upscale and otherwise. The thought of hotel management asking me my business there has never entered my mind or theirs.

I can just imagine the ass chewing I would give to any hotel employee who had the nerve to ask me what my business there was. lol

I can see the conversation now. "Excuse me sir, may I ask you your business here?" My response, "Please go fuck yourself, and mind your own Goddamned business, before I have your ass fired for harassing a customer" Roflmfao

That's the way it works most of the time,,,Hotels!,,,,So no worry mate!!!

Normally my lady greets me as soon as the door closes with a hug & a kiss.  Normally the door is kept locked & she throws the night catch or chain.  If she didn't, I would with a "wink".  I can not remember an incall with connecting rooms though ladies touring together might want them for doubles.  If a room had a connecting door, I'd check it with her...  I might say "I feel funny with a connecting door".  
Yes, it's a bit paranoid...  but if a first date, get it over with so you can focus on the tasks at hand.

"blend in" it is good to carry a computer bag or brief case, especially if a business hotel with meeting space.

There's really no need to try to blend in. All sorts of people dressed all sorts of ways come and go in hotels.

LE busting those who don't quite look like they belong.  The LEOs watched those who went in, nervous and empty-handed, and how long they were there.

Two things I get from that: Don't be nervous,and use better,busier hotels.
