If we wanted to rent a room in a hotel/motel for a few hours for some adult fun, hows it looked on by the hotel/motel? In other words, does it happen a lot where a room gets booked and paid for and the guest leave in the early hours?
It’s done on a regular basis the hotels are not bothered when you book out. They are there to run a business not to judge morals. Hotels are now, and always have been, meeting places for people to have sex without other people knowing. The hotel staff know this. If they have a problem with that they shouldn’t be in the hospitality trade anyway! I have booked a room just to change and freshen up and booked out at all sorts of times. Just pay in advance. If you use one of the Camponile chain of hotels you dont pay for breakfast if you dont have it. They just debit your card for the one night.
Chain hotels really don’t care about that sort of thing – mostly they’re staffed by people who really couldn’t give a stuff. I can imagine it being a bit uncomfortable staying in B&Bs though, as they do tend to be some old dear’s pride and joy!
Travel Lodges and such places are good for this, they are actually cheaper at the weekend as they cater for people travelling on business during the week.
You can turn up any time and pay cash in advance (one chain has now stopped this, they want a credit card and ID) and you can keep the room til 12 noon the next day. So what time you leave is up to you – if you stay only a few hours it won’t bother the receptionist!
Absolutely no problem with the large, Motorway side type of hotels, although more are asking for id if you pay cash. You dont need to book out when you pay in advance and the card type keys mean you dont even need to hand your key back in.
The reception staff must be used to it because its getting very difficult to get them to raise an eyebrow. Ibis rooms are available from noon, if your looking to have fun before collecting the kids from schooll.
If you’re looking for some weekend fun try the Copthorne Hotels – at weekends they’re about 65 quid if you go through the right booking agent , and they are SO much nicer than travel inns which are about 50 quid a night.
Travel inns etc. are designed for business people to crash in, so they’re quiet and basic – they also feel a little bit seedy, which I guess could be a plus if that’s your thing.
The Copthornes are built like a porn movie set – huge rooms, big ensuite bathrooms with mirrors everywhere, a bath you can just about fit two people in, and in the one I was in, a big kitchen worksurface type desk thing across one end of the room which was at the perfect height, quite strong too. The one we were in (Birmingham) also gave us no hassle at all, despite the fact we made a hell of a lot of noise .
If you’re looking for somewhere really special, I reckon hotel Pelirocco in Brighton looks amazing, and their rooms blatantly aren’t designed with sleep in mind! If anyone goes there, please can you give me a review – I really like the look of it but I’ve never made it down there!
