Hey friends! I'm coming back through its been way to long! I will say when I was visiting through out the pandemic I got spoiled on the low rates when booking places to stay! So just for fun do you think it really matters on where you book like are you comfortable with 2-3 star options or...... lol

Ive turned down dates based on where theyre staying.  The majority of girls are better than those 2-3star joints as are most of us degenerates.  To this day I still make sure theyre not at some slumdog hotel before I commit but thats seldom cause I periodically see the same rotation now.  
Anywho.. what ya doin tonite and where ya stayin?

A clean, well stocked (towels, soap, mouthwash, water) in call in a decent, safe location, parking and may be throw in a few candles for the hopeless romantics.  That should do. There are plenty of 3 star hotels in DMV area that fit the bill.  But the 2 star hotels are well cost efficient.  Means something as to give: location, safety or rooms separated by cardboards or cleanliness: rats, cockroaches as roomies...

Well, I will go for a NY 9, even a 7, at a 3 star in call any day, over a dead fish at Ritz.
