I'm happy to meet in the bar if it's an outcall to another hotel and I'm being taken to dinner or for drinks, but for an incall no most definitely not. If I'm staying in a hotel for 3/4 nights then my aim to be as unobtrusive as possible and not draw attention to myself with staff. It's bad enough that housekeeping often know what's afoot without all the reception staff knowing too )

I know a lot of guys have a thing for "eye candy" which totally mystifies me. Being somewhere where I know no one, where they don't know me (hopefully), and where there is nothing to gain or lose from impressing anyone ESPECIALLY impressing them because I'm with a beautiful woman (and if it's a first rendezvous, she might fall a couple point shy of 10)...this type of "thrill" didn't get implanted in my DNA apparently. But some guys get all hot and bothered by that sort of thing, so escorts are smart to take that into account and find ways to offer eye candy time.

Meeting in the lounge isn't the best way, IMO, because if you are both discreetly playing things down, she'll dress conservatively, not being as gorgeous as her pics. And the client will keep his (or her) reaction to her subtle and more muted than if they'd met in the room. This combined with a clients awkward shyness or repressed personality...clumsy.

Once I met a lovely lady in the hotel lounge and the chatty bartender asked if we wanted a menu. I said we were going to meet some others for dinner later on. After finishing our drinks we went to her room. A few hours later we returned for a nightcap before I caught a cab home. Same bartender. He asked where we ate. Neither of us knew the neighborhood or what restaurants were in the area. Awkward. Lol now!

all the hotel staff know whats going on, they see it all the time.  I have been told that as long as the other guests don't complain they don't care.

if they're happy with their arrangement, who's to  judge them?  
I don't come here for validation, especially for my candy.  

If they want  to fuck on the table in the dining room of a busy restaurant, so be it. It'll make for interesting reading here one day.  

So pal, enjoy it all. I experienced that with one girlfriend and it was
as awkward as it was exhilarating. When the place goes silent and the women turn to see who everyone is gawking at, point made. If you think I need validation by including that in a review, guess again.

I will meet some ladies in the bar or restaurant. My focus is on the lady.  
If I wasn't comfortable in the situation, I don't do it.  

Just have fun and fuck often.

....and I couldn't care less what anyone else in the vicinity sees or thinks.  
In fact the rest of the world disappears in the time it takes for her to reach me.

Only w/favs, not new gals

I dont mind meeting a provider down stairs and going up to the room together. Its kind of fun to see your date walk in wearing street clothes, meet, and have a drink, then go together up to the room. It feels more like a date with a happy ending that way.
