What's HoD like to visit? Is it a grotty conveyor belt or is it a bit more classy and upmarket? Are you able to shower before and after?
I must have visited HOD 50+ times by now and have only ever had 2 bad experiences. Despite all this talk of conveyor belt experiences, I've only had a couple of times where my time has been cut short and have always managed to get in a shower on both entering and leaving and it hasn't cut into my time.
Of course YMMV and the quality of the punt will depend almost entirely on the girl you go with but HOD in general for me has been great value for money and the girls for the most part have been excellent.
Of course it is different to being with a good indie and the guy who runs the place does has a negative rep especially on this forum and of course the place isn't perfect but at least in my personal experience the maids are friendly and very helpful, booking is easy and the girls for the most part are professional and good quality though of course they are generally trying to get through as many guys as possible in a shift and you will likely get a more personal experience if you go with a good quality indie.
