Hotels are wearing me out…does it take the fun out of touring for you?

[Jarrod_Uncut]

And here’s another thing I found about the hotel chain I book thru: they say on here we can request 2 extra hours late checkout as Diamond member.

When I stayed in Memphis last week for one night, their checkout time was 11 a.m. and I even asked the night before AND the morning of for a later checkout…he only wanted to give me 11:30 a.m. 🤦🏾‍♂️ I had just barely squeezed in time to do laundry the night before, so I have clothes unpacked or set out to finish drying.
 

That’s what I’m saying, many of these hotels don’t honor the loyalty programs perks. They’re run by cheap Indians with bad customer service (not intending to be racist but, it’s often encountered). Then they want us to be up at 9 a.m. for some lousy breakfast that wasn’t even worth waking up for in the first place.

Cheap Indians? 

Hardworking immigrants who are one of the most successful communities in this country and the fastest group climbing the social ladder. We need more of them!

Exactly.

These are the very people who are working hard to run the sort of tight ship, that provides us with an $ 85 hotel room.

Exactly $85 hotel room in the wealthiest country on Earth, indispensable cheap service for truckers and low income commuters!

Again, let’s not take something out of context and turn it into a new discussion about immigration. You can make a new thread if you wish, but considering it’s political it might be closed 🙂 

By cheap, I don’t mean Indians themselves (I have had a few such clients myself). I refer to it as it relates to the HOTEL industry. And yes, most times I deal with Indian front desk clerks, they always come off wanting to give me the least they can during my stay. For example I stayed at one hotel in a small historic town that had cheese omelets 🍳 made fresh. Great right? But it was ONLY cheese omelets, nothing else. When I asked if there was an additional topping I could add, the Indian guy was like, “this is econo lodge, not Hampton inn” 😮 Like geez…

Its that type of attitude, I refer to.

Yup.

Reality check moment.

For Economy you're damn lucky to have a hot breakfast at all.

Same like on an airplane. You want champagne, sit up front. You pay economy/ you GET economy.

Hey guys, this is turning into cyber bullying and it’s painfully cringe-inducing to watch. Please find it in yourselves to be a little more understanding if not kinder toward @Jarrod_Uncut.  Everyone on here seems to be piling up to judge and punish Jarrod as if he had committed a capital crime! Just take it easy and relax, speaking from a place of moral superiority to crowd-condemn someone is pretty puritanical, the worst kind of backward thinking. My apologies to Jarrod in the name of everyone else on here. We are a community after all and we come here to try to understand each other and share advice and experiences despite our most egregious differences, especially so at a time when hate crimes, intolerance, and racism are at an all-time high. Peace. 

Whenever the OP comes to these boards, it is to complain about these issues:

Hotels

Cities

Callers and Texters

Racism

Etc

What you’re seeing is not bullying, it is frustration from others in getting their point across.

I told him a long time ago that escorting was not for him. He never seems to be happy with any aspect of the business.

Have you tried the hotel tonight ap?  Not sure it fixes your check out issue.  But I know some providers who use it to find good deals.

Get outta here, don’t start it. If you want to come here just to talk shit, there’s other topics you can read. No need for you to come here and try to further make disparaging statements to undermine the discussion. I didn’t ask you to come here if you don’t like the topic. 
 

And what you said long time ago is irrelevant because I’m still here, clients still booking me and leaving good reviews. Tell me something new 🤷🏾‍♂️

I haven’t, but 3rd party apps don’t necessarily build the loyalty that has been discussed. However it is good for late night, after midnight check ins at times. I try to use all the apps, but mainly just stick to a couple I know. Priceline is my go to but, I’m just becoming less inclined to click BOOK and then be unable to change or cancel the reservation. I mainly do it when I’m in an area where the higher star hotels are available for a better price on PL then my usual discount rates.

Yeah but those same places want to charge Hilton rates. The econo lodge I referred to is actually a pretty nice one I stay each time I go to that city. Clean, 5 star reviews. Not all of them are run down. I book the suite, which is the highest cost room in the hotel. It’s about the same rate as a Hampton inn. So getting mushrooms or meat on an omelette isn’t likely to break the bank. 

Anyway, I’m over this topic now. I’m tired of every time I discuss or say something I have to explain myself further. Then you come along and always have a rebuttal. There’s a difference between having advice, and just being disagreeable.

Going forward I’ll just be sure to request 2 hour later checkout on every reservation. Problem solved.

With hotels (and any kind of business like that) I find that I get a lot of flexibility if I can make friends with the people on the desk. There’s a couple of hotels I use for filming (I know, it’s quite different from staying overnight - these are day use rooms booked from say 11am to 5pm). I see  some of the same people on the desk each time I use it. I get friendly with them: ask how they are, wait patiently while they do the check in, use their name (it’s on their badge). A few times they’ve assigned me a room that’s inappropriate for filming (not much space, bad angles etc) and I’ve asked to change it. Obviously I don’t say “can I have a more porn shoot suitable room please?” 😂, but I make some issue about the light or noise and ask nicely if they have another room. They always help! These people have to deal with all sorts of awkward customers every day so it’s good to be really nice and they remember it and reciprocate. If you can build up a relationship with them it’s amazing what ‘rules’ can be flexed to make life easier.

You're getting a pre-made cheese omelette at the Hampton Inn too. 

That's how budget accomodations work

For the most part, I usually rarely ever have issues with the hotel staff or changing rooms. I’ve seen difficult customers in public, I’m not one of them. I’m quicker to walk away from a situation or just avoid it all together. My past several nights of hotel stats have been pleasant, the situation I described was last month, and was just an example of the potential inconveniences that are caused with early check in times. But even being nice and courteous still doesn’t guarantee much later than 12 or 1 p.m. checkout. I’ve tried it before. The Indian clerks don’t care, they’ll give me 30 extra minutes to checkout, and consider that to be generous.

The only time I’ll get personal, is I feel someone seems to be disregarding my loyalty status. Because they should acknowledge that loyalty. In the original situation, I was treated like some bum off the street (and in that area of town, I noticed some of the guests were kinda sketchy even for a business level hotel)…Not a Diamond member from out of state who was feeling ill the day before. THAT, is the difference.

The clerks, not the Indian clerks. 

Maybe some of them are from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan or Myanmar and don't like to be called Indian. Besides does their nationality matter?

Free range eggs? I’d be really annoyed if the omelette wasn’t made with eggs where the chickens are free to wander around the farmyard.

Me not being particular to hotel checkout times is not necessarily related to escorting. Nor does it just affect those who travel for that purpose. You have to be willing to think critically enough to view the actual issue, versus making a statement implying I don’t enjoy being an escort.

I remember awhile back talking to one escort in a town who said something similar: he said he used to travel but he got so tired of checking into and out of hotels, so he rarely does anymore. Unfortunately I can’t stay in the same locale back to back because I wouldn’t get enough serious bookings. Plus I don’t even like the area I live in, so traveling is something I have needed to do for my own sanity. 
 

The monkey wrench in the equation: The tiring process of changing hotels almost daily or every other day, or being faced with a bill every morning to pay for a second night. Yes, that is how it goes in hotels. I’m not asking the world to change, but as the topic of the thread states: it still wears me out. Not even being tired during sex, but what I’ve found it seems to do to my sleep schedule, which seems to then especially during winter: affects my health. I had to admit myself to the hospital the other day for breathing issues, after spending a couple nights at a hotel that…just didn’t feel very clean. Nice hotel on the outside and my room; but the hallways smelt stank and dank. And there was a constant running fan between the living room and bedroom that was dusty. Probably contributed to it.
 

I didn’t even host there, it was just for my own personal use.

the OP comes here regularly posting his ongoing complaints about his chosen profession & he knows the type of responses he will get.  My sense is at this point is he wants attention, not a solution to his issues. 

the other members continue to post mostly helpful suggestions, but also know that the OP won’t take any of their suggestions.  they are participants in the back/forth that they know will go nowhere.

you guys may as well just go back to the deposit thing again and beat that dead horse one more time.

Well what good are you putting out, by skirting the topic all together and just pinpointing what I post about?

Again: If you don’t like what I have to talk about, get the fuck out. I didn’t invite you here. I would care less if you replied or not if it wasn’t going to be something constructive, and not constructive criticism.

People have given advice, like @Shawn Monroe did. But it didn’t include some backhanded statement used to put me down like some have. If someone comes at me aggressive and trying to minimize and dilute my experience, then you expect me to be like: “okay you’re right, I’m wrong. I should of just left like a little bitch and not said anything…even though a white customer would have wrote a scathing review on that hotel“

Stop, just stop. Don’t go there with me.

You see, that’s your problem right there.  You are not aware of what you can and cannot do.

You cannot drive us out of here.  This is a public forum, we don’t need your permission or your invitation to comment.

You can’t tell hotels how to run their business, you just have to adapt your business to theirs.  You want to sleep in, pack late, or meet clients at 11am or 12pm, book more nights.
