Do you judge a traveling escort / therapist by his hotel?

[armadillo]

I do in most cases, because I have found a correlation that the crappier the hotel, the quality of the escort or massage also corresponds. I wouldn't imagine Able Rey staying at the Motel 6 in Inglewood if he visited LA.

What has bee your experience?

a former Daddy's Escort Of The Year hosted me in a somewhat run-down place in LA once....he even called me ahead of time to be careful in the area!!.....knowing he's a good guy, I didn't care at all.....he and I have both told each other we don't feel the need to impress the other.....

 

on the other hand, a well-reviewed former escort hosted me in a very nice hotel in West LA....when I asked him why bother with a place like it, he said he felt it was appropriate to have a nice place for the clients....good reasoning, of course, but he turned out to be a bit of an actor, going thru the motions for another one-time client during his visit out west....

 

so, no, I don't see a correlation.....I admire people who don't feel the need to impress others....most important to me is privacy, cleanliness (room and the dude!), and "chemistry"....

I've seen polar opposites in accommodations. I can't say that there is necessarily a correlation, between the quality of the hotel and the service the escort provides, but in LA, I much preferred seeing an escort at a nicer hotel, mainly for safety reasons. Poorer quality hotels/motels are more likely than not in bad areas. Worrying about carrying larger sums of cash for the escort and concerns about the security of the car in parts of Hollywood or the downtown area, make the over all hiring experience less pleasurable. If the address is at all questionable, I will use Google map to visually scan the block and surrounding area.

Talvin DeMachio--much loved here once advertised as working out of barely respectable place near the interstate in Atlanta, not far from where I worked. It seemed like an off choice for him. Guys who drive to DC and want free parking sometimes locate themselves in odd suburban locations locations at semi-budget chain places.

 

These days, guys increasingly use Airbnbs; some really are pretty marginal or in odd locations. I attribute some of it to not knowing the city, but I'd think that information networks would be better so that they'd avoid places that will discourage some clients.

I have been fortunate enough to meet guys in a variety of nice hotels in NYC. I have also had the misfortune of meeting two excellent fellows at hotels which were really not very nice and while I had a great time with those guys, i would ask where they are staying before hiring them again. It does not have to be FOUR STAR but FOR RATS is a bit much.

Bryan Knight, who's a newbie here, goes to a motel in Watertown.

 

I've seen him there twice or thrice (I forget) ... one of the times being during

the Marathon Crisis of 2013 ( Boston Marathon) ...

 

Okay motel, a little sleezy, but nice over all.

I judge based on hotel to an extent because it's impossible not to. There are about a dozen hotels in the Dallas area (between downtown and north 635) that travelling escorts and masseurs tend to stay at. They are all fairly nice. I assume they are all around a 3 star rating. Occasionally, a guy will get a really good deal at a nicer hotel (for example, Peter Hung told me he got a fantastic rate at the 4 star hotel he stayed at when he was here last year). I view all of the "normal" hotels as neutral, but if a guy is staying at a cheaper place off the beaten path, then it can raise a red flag (same thing with local guys who lease apartments in run down buildings or bad parts of town). I've had some great experiences at less expensive hotels/motels, but a disproportionate number of my bad experiences have been at those places as well. For me, Holiday Inn = no negative prejudgment; Motel 6 = maybe I shouldn't go through with this.

 

The longer I've been doing this, the fewer chances I take. That means I stick more with the well reviewed guys and take fewer risks meeting newbies. It also means that when I'm setting up an appointment and the guy gives me the address for a Super 8 Motel, I'm more likely to tell him that the location raises a red flag and that I'm not sure it's going to work out. I don't do that because I'm snotty. I do it because I've learned from past experience that the odds of it being a below average experience are MUCH higher than if the guy is staying at one of the regular places. I think of it as making wiser (as well as less risky) decisions, and it would be unwise to ignore what experience has proven to me is relevant data (the hotel choice) when making my hiring choices.

I think it's important for an escort to make a good choice and stay at a nice hotel.

 

Never judge a book by it's cover but in this case it's part of it. I wouldn't go to see someone at a 2* hotel, if he can't afford "investing" on a 3* hotel, doesn't even try priceline or doesn't have a client who works at a hotel to help hm out, why trusting he'll do the right choices on other things.

 

A motel on a highway sounds like a drug bust or other king of law enforcement operation.

 

Parking, really an issue? Just pay for it or park and walk 10 blocks.

What has been your experience?

 

 

It really depends, mostly, on the luck of the draw.

 

I met one of the finest and most pleasureable escorts who worked out of a Motel 6. That particular Motel 6 was located in the middle of a shopping center and there were at least six fairly nice restaurants in the shopping center The motel was not fancy but it had all the amenities a guest could want.

 

Conversely, I agreed to meet a different escort that I met from rentboy.com. The escort was a traveling escort and he said that he always stayed at 5 star hotels because it made a better impression for clients. I met him at a major chain hotel.

 

When I arrived, the escort was not the person in the photos of the ad. Despite his being a different person, he repeatedly told me that he was the person in the ad. I just happened to have a copy of the ad with me. I showed him the photos and he laughed and said "You caught me."

 

He also said, while you are here, we might as well go through with the appointment. Needless to say, I declined.

 

While it is true, the above is only a sample of two incidents, the fancy hotel escort was a scam artist while the Motel 6 escort was genuine.

 

As I said initially, it is the luck of the draw unless you already know the escort prior to your meeting or check reliable reviews.

Good for you, I am learning to do the same thing.

 

Same when they ask for $$ upfront.

In years past, I had met a few guys at those two -1/2 (maybe) star hotels just south of LBJ off of N Central (between Forest Lane and LBJ) like the Studio 6. None of the encounters (except one) were very good or anything to write home ( or a review about). On the other hand, I did have a good visit was with a masseur who was at the Hyatt Place at Dallas Central just west of the Studio 6 Hotel.

...good reasoning, of course, but he turned out to be a bit of an actor, going thru the motions for another one-time client during his visit out west...

 

I didn't quite understand this. Did you mean he picked a nicer hotel for some kind of fantasy scene with another client?

While I don't think it tells much about the quality of service provided by the escort or masseur, it can impact the experience itself. Thin walls, backing up to the interstate can make the experience less satisfying. And I've found a nosy staff member to be more likely at the lower rate motels - - never experienced at a higher end establishment.

sorry, I didn't make that entirely clear....no, I was just "another one-time client" on his appointment list during his visit out west, so I sensed he wasn't trying too hard with me, though he did all the stuff I expected....the point I was making was that a nice hotel doesn't guarantee an excellent escort.....but everybody has a story!

Thank you, someone that speaks my language.

 

First comes my safety, I will not go to a crime ridden area. I am also concerned about my mini-van being broken into.

And with 'crappier hotels', no only is crime a concern, so are crabs. When do they change their sheets?

[Nvr2Thick]

No hard and fast correlation. Some guys just don't know the area when they're making a reservation. The airport hotels are hit or miss around here. Some that you'd think were OK are overflow for public housing, but almost every airport hotel has tons of bad online reviews so it can be hard to distinguish. I don't think escorts expect to make a lot of money in this city, so I've almost never seen one at anything other than a discount chain. I've had some great times with great escorts in lousy hotels.

[tanman4u]

Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd resurrect this one with a twist. Escorts do you judge your clients by the hotel in which they stay? I'm curious because I have a Las Vegas trip coming up and it looks like I'll end up staying at Circus Circus. Not exactly the top of the line hotels on the strip but it's inexpensive, not that bad (I've stayed there before) and convenient to the convention center. If I'm trying to arrange hookup (or two) will my staying at Circus Circus vs., say, Luxor or one of the higher end hotels affect things?

[EastbayMike]

Interesting question tanman. I've often wondered the same thing when I travel and how it might affect the fee. I try not to mention the hotel (other than general area) before getting a quote.

[armadillo]

Well, another twist.

I saw a traveling massage therapist recently, and the address he gave me was rather upscale. He was using AirBnB to rent an apartment for 6 days, and I am sure the owners will be real happy when they find out what he was doing in their digs from their neighbors. Turns out he is running a companion RentBoy ad also, and I imagine the hourly foot traffic will surely raise some eyebrows.

[Guest ChrisW]

The cost to travel to major cities is pretty high, about 200-250 a night. Every trip an escort does is a crap shoot, while you may have bookings for your entire trip there keep in mind people cancel all the time. To fly across the country and work in NYC, DC or Chicago a trip is going to run about $1500-2000 assuming you are in a city for a week and that takes into account all of your expenses. You can absolutely find deals and escorts do there best to find them but sometimes you just end up in a hotel that isn't as nice as you might hope. If your escort is working out of the Tenderloin in San Francisco you might want to be a little cautious but if he is working out of a Best Western in Boystown cut him some slack. Its especially hard to find a decently priced hotel and flight during the summer.
