I asked this question as a response to someone's notification of AA 5-0 initiatives where I'm sure about two people will see it. So let me ask it more generally, as I'm very curious about the industry. The young women who travel, how secure are they from LE attention? I mean, both cops and the hotels must know when a single gal checks in and never leaves her room and every hour or so some hard-swallowing, can't-look-you-in-the-eyes guy rushes through the lobby, exactly what is going on. Yet there's rarely a bust.  I always cruise the lots before I park, and never see what looks like unmarked or any other sign of LE. Do the girls kick back a little to the hotel, do the cops turn a blind eye, is there just too much of it and it causes too little trouble for any expenditure of resources to make sense, how does it work. Would love to hear from you providers too, and please please don't stop coming.

hotels, particularly high end major chains like Marriott, Sheraton and Hilton do not particularly care to see their hotel on the 11pm news or the Washington Post as the result of a prostitution sting. As long as the girl minds her own business, is quiet, does her thing without any disturbance, if I was a hotel manager, I would leave her alone and not hassle her or her clients.

Well very good question. One that has gone through my mind as well.
I think it would be like working at a comedy store if you went into
The local police Dept and said her is a provider at this hotel in this room.
The polite policeman would laugh out loud and ask what he is to about
It. I think you would have to fill a school bus and drive the providers to
The station before they would know what to do.  Oh then give you a overtime
Parking ticket on the bus.

As long as its discrete and does not bother other guest - its extra revenue for the hotel (which means it has a better chance to hit or exceed budget and pay bonuses to managers), and most providers usually tip the cleaning staff so they benefit.

As hobbyist, we need to do our part
- dress appropriate to the hotel - seldom if ever is a guest in a business suit even stopped or questioned when entering a 3-5 star hotel (but don'r go thru the lobby of budget dump 9 on Rt 1 dressed that way)
- proceed with purpose and direction, don't pause and look lost in the lobby, if its unfamiliar, try to find a map/layout on the internet first when making the appointment or while still in your car, then walk straight to the elevator, stairs (or if need be, the men's room while scanning your surroundings so that when you emerge you can proceed straight.)

-if its a crowded elevator, and others are getting off on you floor, either go to a higher floor then return, or let them exit first, then pause/or go slowly so they clear the hall before you knock.  If you have to, "remember" something yuo left in your car and go back down then return -

-if the hotel offers convention/meeting/parking facilities with direct elevator access to room floors, use those so you avoid the lobby.

-When leaving, make sure the hall is clear first.

Most large hotels are too busy to notice or care how often a guest leaves the room or how many men in suits are breezing through the lobby.

Of course hotels know what goes on behind closed doors but as long as discretion is adhered to, it boils down to the hotel making a lot a $ from sex workers. My question would be how much annual revenue to the hotel business come from sex workers? I wonder that a lot.

We are good for the economy! No one wants to put a damper on that...

not sure if cops turn a blind eye. I co-sign with everything Tabitha said.  Some girls try to tip housekeeping sure but not any of the other hotel staff.....I sure don't unless it's room service (even tho tip is usually included in whatever you buy).  And I don't become a hermit to my hotel room either lol.

I've never even given it a thought when I used a hotel. I always find an upscale one in the first place and walk in dressed in business clothes where I look like a traveling business woman. Hotels really don't pay attention to what happens in your room unless you are disturbing other guests. If you carry yourself like a hooker then yes there's going to be issues and they are going to have someone walk by your room to see if somethings happening. Its not what you do, its how you present yourself.. imho

I try to move every two days and I always keep an excuse as to why I'm in town. I research military bases and colleges in the area before I travel. And yes, I do tip the housekeeping staff exceptionally well. I hand it to them and write thank you notes (which I just sign "Thanks").
I also ponder what percentage of hotel retail is from sex workers. In the month of August I spent $7,000 in hotels. I think $7,000 is enough hush money to protect myself and my hobbyists!
My advice to providers is to leave the door on the hatch after the second call. Don't make your hobbyists knock. Also take advantage of hotel memberships and discounts! I'm a preferred or choice member to the main hotel chains. It's good for me and my men! I never order room service. But I do get out and see sights when I'm in town.

I'm sure that there are a fair number of providers checking in, but most hotels are doing quite a bit of business -- at least 50 different clients per night, and usually more (sometimes a LOT more).  There are also regular guests who are checking in for their own purposes that might not welcome overly inquisitive staff.  Assignations between cheating spouses are certainly not uncommon, and visiting businessfolk have been known to let their hair down a bit, too.

High traffic along a certain floor might draw a little attention, as might unusual check-in times, or late-night visitors.  However, unless someone complains, the hotel isn't losing anything by having a guest who is knocking boots, even if she's being compensated.  Discretion is important -- if she checks in wearing a bustier and stripper boots with a pimp in close attendance, that's a bad sign.  If she's wearing a sundress and flats, or jeans and a polo shirt, that's a whole different story.

It also takes a while to gather evidence, and the smarter ladies aren't in one place for very long.  If someone stayed in a hotel for several days and was conspicuous enough to draw complaints, then somebody might call the cops... who would then proceed to try to fit a misdemeanor investigation into their schedules, and collect evidence, and then try to make a bust happen.  Housekeeping might look around the rooms a little and report back, especially if someone thinks there might be drugs involved.  Still, it's going to take a while -- a couple of days certainly, and probably at least five to seven days to make everything happen.

If everyone is treated well (no complaints to hotel management, the housekeeping staff is tipped well, and nobody calls the cops), there's not likely to be any problems.  If someone gets their back up about something (management has to deal with a drug-dealing pimp roaming the halls, or a guest reports raucous sex at 4 AM), then you might run into problems.  If nobody is making a fuss, then there's little motive for the police to press the issue -- after all, this is generally a misdemeanor, unless there are minors or drugs involved.
