I travel between SF and LA frequently and usually stay in very nice hotels. However, due to work, I spend very little time in said rooms (usually only sleep). Would it be considered bad form or weird to work out a deal with a provider to use my room while I'm away? Do any hobbyists ever do this?

You might end up with a procuring charge, or what's the other one? maintaining a bawdy place.  

Because if they get busted you will be held responsible and charged with human trafficking/pimping.

Who knows what she or her visitors might do to the room in your absence?

And a criminal record for human trafficking doesn't seem worth it. Very high risk with not much return. A nice room in SF and LA on hotels.com is less than 300 bucks a night. Providers know how to get great deals on great hotels. Using a really nice hotel by giving you extra time isn't going to make a girl jump for joy when they're charging 500 bucks an hour as a median out there.

I have a lady that I see very often.  I usually get a nice hotel with a good gym at her request because she likes to use the gym or pool once we are done.  She asked quite often if I was going to stay the entire night at the hotel.  I didn't know if she was asking because  she wasn't ready to leave me or if she wanted to use the room once we were done.  I believe she wanted to stay longer and use the pool and gym.Lol

When guys start thinking cheap, there's no limit to the bad ideas they can come up with.

First you have to find a willing hooker who cheep and understand this?
Second If her john damages the room most like you be responable for the damages.

for exactly the reason he said.  So it raises the obvious question: if you are dumber than Vern, just how dumb is that?

On top of all the potential legal issues that room is on your credit card.  
A bottle of Dom, new shoes from the boutique, caviar and filet room service, spa day...you get the drift

I'm getting damn tired of these threads getting hijacked so some clown can insult another.  
Take it offline, take it PM but otherwise STFU

Fancy, that was not what I was referring to.

But that's just me

How about the "DTV" award? (Dumber than Vern)

I mean really. He is right one time out of a hundred times if he is lucky and you think there are even dumber people out there? I just don't have that low of opinion of humanity. Although this election cycle is changing my mind. I just am not willing to go there yet. It is just too scary.

I know that is hard to believe, but true.  

EVERBODY, even the dumbest of the dumb agree the OP had an incredibly stupid idea, what's left to say but to have some fun with it?

While I appreciate you're just trying to do the lady a favour you both run the risk of bringing far too much attention on your room.

But not in exchange for a monetary kickback. I think they just want me to stay with them, but don’t want to pay… which is one reason I’ve said no.  

Fancy, you are a true genius!  Saying so much with the minimum number of words!

Stupid to you maybe.  
Others obviously find it interesting enough to add comments.

If you want to call that "conversation" be my guest.
