Escorts and the Hotel Business

I have never seen this discussed and I was wondering, What financial effect does the escort business have on the Hotel Business. I know ever hotels official policy is to prohibit this activity but let's be real. Every hotel also knows it goes on and gladly takes the revenue.
We all know the local low life place that the ladies frequent. But many ladies regularly stay at nicer places and the hotel must know.
I would be interested to hear from a hobbyiest with some real life back ground in the Hotel Business. What is the "unofficial" policy? How much do they really know or care? Where or when do they draw the line?

Just curious !

A police officer once told me how he was stationed in the lobby of a fine hotel (the type that is all marble) to chase the prostitutes away. I guess multiple visitors to a room are not welcomed.

It very much depends upon discretion. There is one hotel in the DC area--a very nice one--that would have a significant drop in room fill rate if the ladies stopped staying there. It is common for 8, 10, or more to be there on some nights, and not because they work together.

Discretion on the part of the lady, on the part of the clients coming to see her. Treat the staff with respect, dress and act appropriately. And it doesn't hurt if there are multiple entrances and lots of common space.

Yes, a few hotels are much more aggressive in looking for business going on there, but that is not the majority from what I have seen--IF everyone plays by the rules.

It is also why I prefer outcall to my hotel. And overnights.

Indeed.

The key is to always blend in, sometimes you can get away with not having to but I wouldn't recommend it.

In a city like Vegas where pamphlets litter the streets, there are free magazines with contact info, hired day workers w/ english as a second language advertising on the corners, mobile billboards, and the annual AVN awards show; there is much more tolerance than hotel in a polished country club suburban neighborhood.

I shared drinks at a bar with a provider once after our therapy session. She was well known, the bartender covered our drinks. They mocked a younger provider for being obvious as she pretended to wait for someone in the lobby of C*****s pal**e.

Point being, I don't think she will impact the desire of people around to world to stay at that hotel and I'm sure she won't the be last obvious loiterer.

Act like you belong from the moment you arrive. Walk in like you are a guest. It's ok to make eye contact with the hotel staff and to be friendly and say hello. I like to do mornings and I have often participated in the free breakfast in some places.

Most hotels have some sort of policy regarding "riff-raff" and undesireables either just hanging around or renting rooms.

One very major chain has in the past gone way further in that it instructs housekeeping to examine a guest's trash looking for potential evidence that the room is being used for the P.

Many decent (say 3 star and up) properties usually have no issue with guests who book via the hotel chain reservation system and especially when the guests appear to be rather "ordinary" types of guests.

As for portion of revenue, I would venture a guess of less than 10 percent at major properties and even at the bargain M6 RR types not much more than that. Especially during the major vacation seasons when business travel abates a bit and families expand their travel.

Escorts are probably a very small part of the hotel business. If escorts stopped using hotels altogether it wouldn't have much much effect on the industry.

I agree. Using hotels is not a big deal. It beats the incall situations of some of these BP gals.

This. The few times i have been in the pricier hotel chains, i've walked in just like i was a guest. Said hi to the staff behind the counter, gone over to the buffet area (if set up) grabbed a bite, and headed off like i was going to my room. BUT if possible, and the hotel has back/side doors, those can also be used.
