Hotels Google-ing Providers Numbers...

I have seen this mentioned before but would like to know what experiences anyone has had with this...


-Is it common practice for hotel managers to google the phone number of any girl who just checks into a hotel? or is it more prevelant at certain locations?


What's the purpose - ? obviously to call LE or kick them out??


Thanks...

Since when do hotel staff take it upon themselves to ask anybody, for their personal phone number?

Maybe I didn't get the memo.

I would hazard a guess that a hotel only does this with a really good reason. Mostly out of nosy boredom. I know bartenders that google anyone who uses AMEX Black Card...I can see hotel staff googling names and phone numbers out of curiosity more than anything.

If a girl is stupid enough to check into a hotel looking and acting like a hooker AND gives a phone number that's splashed all over the Internet and attached to beaver shots, etc...then she may not be welcome at a hotel. But most hotels don't care as long as you follow the rules. They make money on drinks, room service, parking...they usually don't care.

Lots of Strippers stay at Galleria area hotels while here in town working at the clubs and I've never heard of a problem...maybe it's different in a small East Texas town...or Beaumont...but working over there is perilous to say the least. Drive to Lake Charles or Shreveport, but, that's a different topic...

So, it's useful (but not necessary).

Never had them ask anything other then ID and license plate, and how do you want to pay?

How many on here use the hotel/motel internet connection .. wifi or otherwise?

I'm on one at a Hilton right now.

Then they can see what you got to anyway

That happens almost every time I go to NOLA but I'm usually getting there before checkin and no rooms are ready. I've also had some quite a few of the higher end hotels ask for my number but it's not a requirement. My number is also attached to my memberships with the different hotel chains and if I don't have my membership card that's how they look me up. So, yes, the hotels can get your number and I agree with your earlier comment, if the girl goes in looking and acting like a hooker then they may look her up just to see what she's bringing to their hotel.

just give them a fake number

Hotels, notels,I thought they all ask. I keep my second phone private.

TRAVELING FROM VEGAS TO ANYWHERE I ALWAYS BOOK THRU EXPEDIA AND WHEN YOU BOOK THRU THEM AND CHECK INTO A HOTEL EXPEDIA ALWAYS KEEPS YOUR INFO HIDDEN THEY USE THEIR INFO SO WHEN YOU CHECK IN ALL THE HOTEL HAS IS YOUR NAME AND EXPEDIAS ADDRESS AND # ON THE RESERVATION...NEVER HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER AND I AM ALWAYS SAFE THAT WAY..JUST MY EXPERIENCE..
