I have gotten rooms at places like Red Roof/ Motel6 for cash, plus there are a couple of known "by the hour" places in my area that are cash.  Usually, I use CC but I have a hobby credit card and the bill comes to my office and I pay it with my hobby checking acct which is also at my office where I deposit mileage reimbursements.  Some day I'll go down in flames but not so far

While I don't expect a provider to set up in a mega expensive hotel, if one told me she was in a Motel 6 I would wonder whether I want to see her, unless she has really good reviews. I have never seen a provider at a Motel 6 and the only times it was a possibilty was when I have contacted a unreviewed provider to try to feel her out on whether she was worth seeing, the Motel 6 was one of the reasons I took a pass.

So with that said, I would wonder if it would matter to a provider - to go see a guy who tells them they are staying at a Motel 6 or other budget motel. Some providers will even mention in their ad something like "outcall to your upscale home or hotel". Especially with high end and well reviewed providers who are in demand, I would wonder whether they would even see you in a budget hotel or go into things with the idea that you are "cheap".

And I get it that its not the expense that would lead you to the budget hotel, I assume anyway, and its the ability to use cash, but that still would not prevent the possibility that you would not get certain providers to come see yo.

I will only see a girl at her incall because getting a hotel for just that reason is just too much work for the hobby, too much hassle especially when you factor in the CC and ID that is needed for better hotels.
