Some providers don't keep a standing incall location, when I tour I don't work where I stay, safer that way. The date rate will always determine the level of hotel. If you are paying under $300/hour I won't pay 1/3 of my profit for a nicer hotel room. If it's an overnight or a date I will walk out with at least $1000 I'll pay $150 for a nicer hotel room. I don't think anyone likes working for free. Low volume providers, i.e. me, I don't see more than 2 people a week. I would rather spend 3-4 hours with one guy and do that twice a week in a nice environment over getting a cheap hotel and having volume and get $250/client. I have to change hotels per client, for their safety and my own and the hotel is nothing but an expense to me since I don't use it or stay in it. I prefer outcalls to incalls. If you want a nice upscale hotel to visit in, expect to see me at a low cost location at least once. I'd never put out over $100 on a nicer room if I've never seen you before because I don't even know if you'll actually show up. If I've seen someone once or twice and they are good clients and I know I'll make the cost of a nice room back on their date and still feel like I've been compensated for my time then I'm more likely to pay for a nicer hotel room. Until I know that I won't take that chance. You really do get what you pay for. If you are only looking to book a QV or half hour date I definitely will not put out for a nicer room because the client has already set the standard by asking for my lowest rate. I already know I'm meeting someone who isn't looking for quality they are looking for quick. Basically if you want a nice environment and a nice date type time, express that upfront and that way you know where things sit for the both of you.
Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
