What is late at night and the hotel really quiet when she arrived, OP Oldbaronfrankie?
Ive have always liked my meet ups that Ive had over the years to take place in a decent size hotel of a reasonable standard. It feels more like a neutral meeting ground or even allows me to have a slight advantage if I know the hotel well.
Now I have, historically always tended to have my girls (usually agency) come over to my hotel mid to late afternoon for several reasons:-
1. My situation largely dictates that my sessions with this little hobby are rather opportunistic; by which I mean that it would be a case that something that I was supposed to be doing in my work gets cancelled or moved to another day. If this happens it is usually with virtually no notice but occasionally I am told late the previous evening allowing me to book a hotel and sort something with the agency for the following day. I set off for "work" as normal with the other half non the wiser but still expecting me home at some point that evening. So my problem is getting into the hotel room which often isn't available until 3pm
2. I do like a quick drink and a chat in the hotel bar first to allow me to oggle at her for a little while and "imagine".
3. I prefer an environment that I am familiar with so I feel in control. I have only taken someone back to my house once when the wife was away. It was a brilliant fantasy lived out in one respect but left me a little jittery for a few weeks afterward every time the doorbell rang!
At this time in the day its usually alive with activity and nobody notices anything. Plus I like to meet her outside the main entrance and walk in with her.
Although the room is booked and paid for for the night (room only) I always leave discreetly and go home that evening as expected.
Anyway, I did experience your situation at a hotel myself similar to your own O/P and shared it with chaps on here. Here is a link to the thread of my tale of woe.
