Hotels, motels, and Holiday Inns....

[buckguy]

A client's perspective: Business people regularly lug odd-sized bulky stuff around hotels--usually presentation materials and associated gear. At worst, the hotel may think you're bringing in audio visual equipment and ask that you rent stuff from them (just say it's going to an outside meeting and youcan't work w/o your own stuff). OTOH, will your gear fit into one of the ridiculously oversized rollerbags that people insist on dragging around for short trips? Bring that & you'll seem normal. Under many circumstances, "traffic" in and out of rooms in a hotel is normal--conventions, sports tournaments, etc. It's the maids who are most likely to notice that your visitors aren't necessarily hotel guests. Usually most of their work is done by noon.

I have given a number of clients massages in either my own or their own hotel rooms - usually on one of the mattresses, which as you might know, is actually hard on the person giving the massage. Unless it is a prefunctory one. In any event, I have done this when the client requested it, in many instances, because the client did not know how to request more intimate activity.

 

In some locales, I also came to understood that for some clients, asking for a massage is how they normally requested an "escort" experience.

 

In any event, I agree. You should have no problem bringing your table in with you as long as it did not quite look like a table and that the only way the maids would likely mention is if you left the table up.

 

Good luck.

I too am a massage therapist and on occassion do out calls to hotels. I typically carry my massage table with me. Never had a problem. Even one time, my client had me call the hotel and explain that I had been asked to come do a massage on a client in his room and did they have a problem with that? They said no. I think if you look like you belong there - all will be fine. Good luck.

Nix on La Quenta

 

I seriously suggest that you not book your room at a La Quenta. The time that Maverick and I were lied to, etc. (I usually don't get away with saying entrapped around here, though that is what it felt like) it was your friendly neighborhood La Quenta which cooperated fully with the setting up of the sting.

Your questions is not a dumb one, Timothy. I'm sure that we have all wondered at one point or another whether a hotel staff or guest looks on us with curious eyes when dragging a table in and out of the hotel. Luckily, as the others have indicated, everyone seems to have their own accoutrement pertaining to their particular profession be it massage or otherwise. I've never had any problem or had hotel staff suggest it was in any way inapporopriate to have brought my table into my room because in many instances hotels do not have in-house accomidations for massage anyway. In large scale resorts where they do have a spa I make sure to ask my clients if they prefer a table or not. Frequently, as I'm sure you've experienced yourself, people are quite amenible to accomidations you can provide. But I've never thought twice about bringing a table back and forth because there are just so many masseurs who commonly travel resort corridors and hotel staff have too many other responsibilities than to wonder what I am doing in my room.

Thanks for all the replies so far.. I guess I would also like to hear the clients perspective, like how they manage to navigate getting to an escort or masseur's hotel/motel room if they are staying at one. Walking by the front desk, having to show a key, or do folks meet their clients in the lobby. The other question I ask; is there a possibility that I could get thrown out of the hotel I am staying at for doing masssage on the premises. I imagine the laws differ from place to place, just being cautious when I travel for now...

Heading to Jacksonville then Memphis

I am a travelling masseur and I basically go from place to place with my table and set up appointments as I go along. I always try to stay at places with easy parking lot access to make it easy for clients to visit with no hassle from management. I don't think hotel managers would take kindly to knowing that I'm working in their hotel providing massage to outsiders.

 

I'm just wondering if anyone has had any bad experiences with hotel/motel staff when either coming or going to a client/escort/masseur appointments.

 

I'd like to stay at regular hotels with indoor corridors, but just a little wary.Plus lugging the table up 16 floors can be a job in and of itself

 

Any advice for what may seem to be a dumb question..?

 

Thanks.

OK, here's my 2 cents from a client perspective when hiring an escort (always get my massages at their facility).

 

I actually saw Aaron Scott while on a business trip. He came to my room at Holiday Inn. The room door opened directly into the parking lot area (no hallway - more like a motel than hotel). He came right to the room and didn't have to bother with the front desk.

 

While in San Antonio I stayed at Hampton Inn and hired Benjamin Nicholas. I phoned him with my room number upon my arrival. At the appointed time, Benj walked right past the front desk and took the elevator to my room. Like a previous guy mentioned, if you look like you belong and know what you're doing then you usually don't encounter problems.

 

In NYC I had an escort come directly to my room at about 11:30 p.m. Although there was a guard near the elevators. He wasn't stopped or questioned. Same thing happened the next couple of nights when my favorite guy from the Gaiety showed up after his last dance for a private.

 

In Las Vegas EVERYONE had to show a room key to access the elevators. In that instance I met the guy in the lobby and we went to the room together.

 

In the DC area I usually stay at a Residence Inn where the rooms are in a separate building from the check-in/recreation building. The outside door to the rooms building requires an access card 24/7. I met Nick the lounge/breakfast area of the check-in-recreation building and then we went to the room together.

 

I stayed at Homewood Suites one time on business and flew in an escort for a weekend session. He arrived while I was still at work. But I had given his real name to the desk clerk with permission for them to issue him an access card to the room. He actually made dinner in the room kitchenette and had it ready for me when I arrived from work. (Nice touch!!)

 

I've also stayed at Westins, the W, and Sheraton in various cities. The guys have always come directly to my room without any problems.

 

In short, I've never had a problem with "visitors" in my room and most walk right up to the door without being questioned. When I do suspect there "might" be a problem, we either met elsewhere and access the room together or I've arranged for them to get a key at the front desk.
