provider donation verses quality of hotel...

This has been on my mind. Ladies I would love your thoughts and guys we NEED your opinion...

So what's your preference? Do you prefer a 5 star hotel and if so are you willing to offer more donation to cover the cost?

Are you ok in a 3 star so long as its clean and of course the donations are less as she does not have to charge as much to cover overhead.

The difference is 100 or so an hour.

I have a cover story for why I need to be close to my room and prefer outside entrance. Its hard to find higher quality with that option. I feel outside is more discreet but others feel safer with hallways.

Its a loaded question and no right or wrong answers. Usually I do a LaQuinta quality. Today I am in a much nicer 5star location and it just seems a hassle to go down elevator to lobby change for parking and I can easily see my guys crossing paths with a colleague in the lobby.

So stay at the laquinta / days inn and pay 70 a night offer 200 hour, (not as nice but safe n clean) or Hilton Garden or Mariott and raise rates to 300 or 350 an hour???

I know this is a side conversation, however!

IMO finding a decent location with an outside door is becoming more rare these days. Also prying eyes can see the going's on from a distance when outside doors are in play.

Use Caution: Wyndham Hotels (Days Inn, Ramada, etc) has a training program to teach their employees to look for hobby related activities and notify authorities.

My answer to your original question is that you should choose what the appropriate gratuity is for you. I rarely have a preference for location as long it is in a safe area and the room is clean.

Hey, we all have limited hobby budgets. So I would much rather spend the resources on more time together than less time in a high end hotel. Never understood why so many traveling ladies only stay at the top end hotels. I would much rather they lower their rates and let my same payment go for more time.

Forget that I want the same comforts of home if I'm in a hotel. I don't mind footing the bill for my comfort since I prefer outcall anyways. But I'm spending more time there than most. I guess I just want a safe, clean, easily accessible, discreet spot to chill where I can't be spotted. Definitely I stay away from hotels with immediate outside to the car entry and exit.

Clean, safe & discreet...A good 3- star is fine with me, as said I'm there to see the date...Inside entry is much more private...

Personally hotel cost was not the only or even main factor in rate increases.
I'm in the 300-400 range but also I'm a user of discount sites like bidding with 'Name Your Own Price' on Priceline or 'Express Deals' on Priceline or 'Hot Rate' hotels on Hotwire (lower price but can't see the exact hotel name just like Express Deals on Priceline) and usually can get a 3-4 star for 70 or sometimes lower.
Once I got a 4.5 star room for 90 in Buckhead ATL but generally stick to 3/3.5/4 star hotels.

Even back when I was 200hr I was generally staying in nice(r) hotels like HGI, Hiltons, Doubletree, Marriotts, Hyatts etc when I figured out how to use certain discount sites.
I've been in some super nice 3-stars that kicked some 4-stars ass.
SOMETIMES if you call a hotel you'll get a better rate than their direct site shows.
Elite membership on some chains can afford you nice(r) rooms for fairly cheap as well.
Residence Inn (3-star) is one of those where sometimes the access is through the hotel (side doors, front/lobby access) but some are kind of apartment complex style where you can walk up to the room.

If you can't afford my rate why expect me to get the fanciest place ever? Sometimes I feel the fanciest places aren't as discreet as others. Is there anything wrong with an extended stay or a microtel? Not at all.
But bear with me here, for a low volume gal ...I get a room that's 100 or 150 and my rate is 250. After gas, supplies and etc I'm really not coming out with much...leaves me with 100 maybe.
If you're seeing one person a day...well...you get my drift.
So...I ask you...why do the men that can only see you at times you offer a special, require you to get the best hotel there is when they can't respect you enough to pay your full rate?
I'm so very nice and easy going, but some people have insane expectations.
