I recently read that some hotels in large cities are asking to see their visiting guests id in order to stop escorts from coming into their hotels. I was wondering if this has happened to any of the ladies?
Unless they post security guards at all entrances I don't see how this is practical. Any hotel with conference rooms and such will have dozens of people milling about in and out.
That said, if a hotel asks for my ID I have no problem showing it. Unless they witness me fornicating there is no connection between my visit and any provable nefarious purpose.
Most of the large hotels are so busy with conferences, have bars and restaurants and Starbucks and lobbys that have hundreds of people coming and going all day. You're telling me they have someone on all entrances asking for ID of anyone entering??? Good luck with that I say!!
Could you give us a link to what you read?
My theory is that with cameras everywhere, hotels can already figure this out if they wish, but why tackle the tricky issue of what to do about it when the activity is increasing their occupancy?
In Vegas and many other cities a form of this already exist.
Security will be at elevators and SOMEONE must show a key, but not an ID. In USA security has been very lax compared to many parts of world. in most of Asia anyone without a key must not only sign in with ID, but leave ID with desk to get back when you leave. All Hilton in Manila, The Peninsula and any 4 star and above require it. In Hong Kong the Conrad and even as low as 3 star require it.
I think everyone must get used to it. The world and peoples safety get more concern of the Hotel. Its not just girls they want ID, anyone.

I read the short article about 4 or 5 days ago. Obviously they can't check everyone but I think that they were mainly targeting young women or women that were known to the hotel management. Some here have stated that the hotels keep a book with pictures of some of the working ladies. I have also been to smaller hotels where security was standing next to or near the elevators. I will post a link of the article if I can find it again.
the reservation for Suzy Q is really Suzy Q. Now, in hobbyland, Suzy Q is really Sally Slut. So, what is the ID proving? You are correct--nothing.
I agree with you that we're talking about a hotel guest being asked to show her ID when she registers. But I disagree with you about what it might accomplish. Consider two cases.
A provider whose real name is Suzy Q would have to register as herself if her credit card says "Suzy Q". Showing her ID would offer verification and keep hotel management happy.
However, suppose Suzy Q's credit card says "XYZ Consulting Co." Suppose, too, that she's so devoted to secrecy and privacy that she signs in as Jane Smith to keep the Q family name off the record. This scheme would fail if ID had to be shown.
can result in all kinds of abnormal action because of the clients they attract.
I've come across this once when i was staying at a hotel in Boston. It was a smaller hotel chain but a hotel chain nonetheless. I only found out after a friend got to my room and told me did you know they are checking id's for visitors. I've found that while this may be a little concerning for those coming in that it's also a safety thing for us. I just informed any further friends coming in that they might need to show id upon entering as it's hotel policy.
Having said that I now do further checking to see about this policy when on tour as I don't want my friends to feel uncomfortable in any way and it's a bit of invasion of privacy for people being asked to see there id's just because you enter a hotel. obviously if a friend isn't asking for a key to a room there should be no reason the staff should be asking for id but that's just my opinion.

Since hotels almost always give you two keys, the gal should go outside and meet the client first, and give him the key and room number. After she goes back up, the client can wave the key at security, and head up unmolested.
It's clunky, but I'd prefer that to having my name on some record.
1. Providers don't use their real names, so the hotels wouldn't know who was checking in.
2. Some hotels (Vegas) have people by the elevators. If that's the case the provider just comes down and gets you at the bar, etc.
Hotels have millions of people walking in and out. I go to Vegas once a year for business. It's a conference with 60,000 people. I walk through half a dozen hotels to meet associates, friends, etc. No one stops me or anyone else. The real key is to behave like you belong there. If you feel odd or out of place, you'll show it.
That's your right, but they then have a right to kick you off their property. Which will result in a late cancellation, and possibly a fee -- certainly ill will. This assumes you don't refuse and then go to the room anyhow, in which case the police will probably be knocking on the door in short order to throw you off the property.
I was providing my massage services in New Orleans and the Sheraton on Canal St had a security guard at a booth beside the elevators. They required anyone getting on to show their room key, those who held up their keys were allowed to pass. Those without required to have the guest name and room number to go up. I am not sure if they are still doing this now but I stayed their one night checked out the next day and never went back. I only saw one client and because we had been seeing each other for some time and I was comfortable with him he was provided with my real life information. Given the climate of trafficking and not wanting to be complicit, this may become the norm in many larger cities and hotel properties.

But that's sort of a smallish-midsize city.
The hotel claimed to have a policy that guests had to come to the lobby and pick up their guests. I saw one date there (brought him through a side entrance (only the front lobby door didn't require key)), postponed the 2nd one I had booked for that day and moved to a different hotel the next day (had no issues at the other hotel I moved to).
I haven't had any trouble from security during any visits. The most I had to do was walk my guest in and show my room key.
