You can get done up against the window and watch the passers by down below. Or do some work at the comfortable desk....

And look! A whole website dedicated to day rooms.

Calm down John. Here, hand me that stick - you've got it by the wrong end

I guess I was confused by your use of the word 'filthy' in your op.

That sort of thing is really as filthy as it sounds, isn't it? There's not some other legitimate use

I know someone who booked a hotel room for a few hours for a mid-festival shower (before festivals had the amount of accessible showers they do nowadays) and a nap.

I think it was Glastonbury at some point in the 80's.

OK. I was curious about whether it's possible to hire an hotel room by the hour for the purposes of an assignation. But, in my mind, such a set-up involves small, smelly rooms in backstreets, furnished with saggy old beds with cum stained nylon sheets that haven't been laundered for the last 36 hours and 36 assignations on them. Not hotels at all but, in effect, knocking shops. Somewhere for a tom and her client to go for a quick one, smoke a Rothmans then she's back out on the street and he's taken his Tesco bag of cat food home to Leyton.

This may be a particularly British view, but I suspect not.

I am not scared of or confused about sex. And if you'd read the thread you wouldn't be confused by the 'tv gear' stuff

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

well i never

 

[5t3IIa]

How do people manage it then? Do they manage it or is it only in films?

Just seems a waste of green to lay out around £100 for a night when we both go home before midnight.

Non-legitimate usage, you mean?

There are lots of people out there who want to have sex, but no place to do it. Couples without their own place springs to mind, people in affairs, and prostitutes and customers.

Legitimate sexual usage of a locked room with a bed in it, imo.

I did read the thread. Around here, the journalists would rent a suite, not a one hour hotel room. Or they'd use one of the many smaller meeting rooms that most larger hotels have.

Going to a one hour hotel room for an interview would be like something out of Bruno.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees - that's what I meant! I am not a prostitute, however, and don't know where to get a 'short stay' room though I haven't clicked that Hilton link yet

£100? There must be cheaper ones than that.

 

[5t3IIa]

Last one was £85 but I didn't want to sound cheap

 

[trashpony]

Why would a hotel want to charge you 1/2 rates if you are going to stay until midnight? It's not like they're going to be able to rent the room to someone else at that time is it?

 

[prunus]

I used to rent a room in a hotel in Geneva by the hour - 20CHF/hour it was, when I wanted to sleep prior to getting an overnight flight out (and had thus checked out of my other hotel in the morning). Nothing seedy about it.

Sadly...

Why not just spring for a more modest hotel, for the entire night.

You never know, you just might decide to do it two times in a row.

Kinell - hope you got him to at least go halves

Yah, that's what I'm asking

Halves? Fuck off - he paid.

That was your 51,000th post

 

[moomoo]

Why don't you just stay the night?

I always miss them!!

I guess I must be getting old, it seems like a right waste of money to me. I'd rather have he £85 to spend on something else

 

[5t3IIa]

*cough*

...and just do it in an alley behind the bins.

 

[moomoo]

*cough*

Huh?

 

[Kanda]

I've always just paid the night up front and fucked off when I had to leave, reception just think you're going out, you just don't come back, it's all paid for.

...and I don't think I'd take someone to a bargain bucket hotel, how seedy

 

[Chz]

I think the ones in Singapore airport are fucking fantastic. When you've got a 4 hour layover between a 14 hour flight and an 8 hour flight, 2-3 hours of sleep in a real bed plus a shower is awesome. Though I think they have a minimum rental of 3 hours or something like that.

Depends on the quality of the hooker though, some just look out of place at anything more than a formula 1.

[ShiftyBagLady]

Surely a standard double means bed, which means sleazy lunchtime rendezvous.

 

[AverageJoe]
