makes a question difficult.  Could you PM me?

I also had an appointment and saw the same activity;  I was seeing a low volume UTR provider so I went ahead, but she told me she picked the hotel becuase it offered the best deal via an internet pricing service, and I wonder if other providers do the same - could be something for providers to keep in mind -  if these services send them all to the same hotel (presumably because it has a high vacancy rate that night) as the cheapest, it also then concentrates them and makes it more likely to draw attention.

If I go to a hotel and am not alone on the elevator, I always go to another floor, get off and go to the end of the hall or a vending area, wait a few minutes, then get back on so I am not followed.
