OTC guide: Short stay hotels and other suggestions

The easiest way is to ask her. You probably are not her first otc. She will have heard from other dancers where to go if you are her first

Google is your friend. Enter the address of the club or other landmark. Open up the map and select the search nearby. Search for hotels. Take a few minutes to check them out. The hotel web site and google reviews will let you know if short stays. I usually find something within ten minutes.

Because I only club when I travel this isn't an issue for me, by the agree with taking a few minutes to research and then ask the dancer if you're still unsure.

Electronman posted: "For example, I know that conventional wisdom is to avoid OTC visits in your home or apartment unless you get to the stage where you trust your "visitor." I suspect that similar guidance applies to OTC visits at her home/apartment. "

If she's a local girl who has worked at your club for a while, the realistic risk of her doing anything to bring ongoing drama upon herself is extremely low. Just secure small valuables and important paperwork and you should be fine. The notion of using a hotel when you are single with a perfectly good bed at home has always seemed silly and wasteful to me.

With respect to visiting her place, I'd be much more cautious. I've done this a handful of times and never was it a great experience. I've never had any real problems, but some of these girls have really fucked up living situations and it can be sad to see.

If you must get a hotel, then nothing fancy is needed. I don't have hourly places near my local clubs, but you can always find a cheap lower end motel. Just use one of the travel consolidators, like Expedia, to search for local options.

Carry a weapon. Not kidding. It saved my ass once, and that’s enough for me. I carry a pistol and knuckles (yes, they’re legal here, at least for CCDW holders). Presuming you live in a state that doesn’t violate your right to keep and bear arms, of course.

I often use Priceline or one of those to book a hotel if I’m staying overnight. Mostly I just use the local no-tell though; they have 3 hour rooms for $50-60 depending on day and time of year. Sometimes Priceline will give me a deal for only a little more than that for an overnight.

Offer to buy food. Whether that’s carry out to take to the room, or a sit down before/after the festivities, it can sometimes seal the deal. Strippers love decent food.

I must be unconventional because I always have dancers come to my house when I have OTC sessions in the Detroit area (which is nearly all the time). I don't care if it's a stripper I've known a long time or one I've just met.

My rationale:

1. I have saved 10's of thousands of dollars on hotels rooms.
2. My house and living room and bedroom are more convenient and comfortable than a hotel.
3. My wife doesn't mind (because I'm single).
4. My firearms are handy in case a boyfriend/pimp were to try anything.

I must admit that a few small valuable items have gone missing. Was it elves or strippers? You be the judge. However, the cost of these items is dwarfed by my savings on hotel rooms.

Jacklash, you're not remotely unconventional. In fact, IME you're more like the norm. In all the OTC stories I've heard in person from dancers and customers over the years, I don't think I've ever heard of single guys renting motel rooms when they had empty houses or apartments close by. It's only on here that I encounter this unusually paranoid concept. If I was single without kids, I'd probably use my house too. I just chalk it up to one of those differences between weird stuff I read on a board like this and what I see IRL.

There are a host of dayrate apps out there these days, on top of Recharge and Airbnb. Know what's around in your area. Very worst case, the "luxury" hot tubs

I only take strippers I know really well -- ATF status -- to my home

Most of my experience is on the road, but I’ve had a few OTCs in my home city. I’ll use a hotel of the same type as I would on the road; i.e., a midrange to upscale hotel, but nothing super fancy. I like them for the same reason I like them when traveling: clean, well appointed, controlled access, and security. Depending on time of year and occupancy rates, you can often find a nice hotel like a full service Marriott for around $100-$150.

^^ In San Francisco, that kind of hotel could easily cost me $250-$700, hence my enthusiasm for Recharge, day rate hotel apps, etc.

Inviting a dancer to one's home does not mean that something bad will happen, but probably kosher for her to not know where you live (analogous to why many guys don't give dancers their full-name and often use a burn cell #) - e.g. let's say you end-up w/ a headcase or a druggie, easy to just block her on your ph but if she knows your address then she can become a PITA to deal with - not saying this would happen or happens, but the less they know about you usually the better b/c many dancers seem to often have "financial emergencies" and PLs getting hit-up for these "emergencies" is not rare - if one does OTC very-regularly, then yes the hotel-costs can add-up but if it's something irregular then paying for a room for a little extra sanity-check is probably kosher (especially if you don't know her very-well or your gut just tells you she may not be trustworthy).

In past threads, many of the experienced OTCers opined along the lines of doctorevil in that it'll probably be more-enjoyable if you get a decent room vs the cheapest possible - most women are kinda finicky about certain things and a nicer-room may set a better mood whether consciously or subconsciously.

An app that lets one find rooms by the hour as subraman mentioned would be aces, but seems certain apps may just work in certain areas/cities - I would not want to rent a room just for an hour and have to be clock-watching, and once one goes past an hour it starts getting closer to what one would pay for a whole-night.

Here I can get a nice hotel from noon to 4 pm for $100 on dayuse.com

JackSlash, I just think that you have been very lucky. Most of these girls have either drug issues or associate with people who are in and out of prison. Hell, many have been there themselves. In some cases they may not even intend to get you caught up in a crime, but it can happen. When they know your house they know your name. They may owe someone money. They may have a friend getting out of jail. They may mention something to their dealer. I think just better to keep that separate. .

The first time i tries otc was the last time i tried otc. before i know it i was in an abandoned parking lot in the middle of the night. it felt like a trap and i drive out of there quickly

I will say that adding food to the OTC experience can be a nice deal closer and with all the delivery apps out there now, it's even easier than it used to be. Most the hotel's I use have room service as well but I really hate spending $30 on nachos. The young lady who is the contacting me most recently about partaking of her OTC services is offering overnight, so I'm thinking breakfast in the morning might be part of the deal

Dayuse.com and HotelTonight app are very useful.

OTC at home isn't usually an option for me due to geography. I live more than an hour from the closest clubs in Northern Ky which are shitty clubs that really aren't worth visiting unless you are desperate. I did have one fav about 10 years ago that lived aboit 15 min from me so it was a lot more convenient for her and I to get together at my place which was great

I have only used 1 short stay hotel in Louisville and it was about $40-50 for 3 or 4 hours and was the worst hotel room I have ever seen. Shady streetwalker and drug dealer looking types hanging out everywhere. God only knows what types of stains on the bed, bedding and chair. A bathroom that looked worse than most dive club bathrooms. I vowed to never pay for another room like that as long as I live.

That's when I realized that in the areas I usually club (Louisville/Columbus/Indianapolis) I can usually find a 2.5-3 star hotel (Holiday Inn, Best Western, etc) for the night for about $50-60 through Priceline with their express deals. If I can't find one on there I can use 3k points on my Wyndham account and get one of their go fast deals for $45-70 for a Microtel, Howard Johnson, Ramada type of hotel. Even less for a Super 8 with Wyndham but those are sometimes sketchy depending on the area.

Never used any of the day rate apps but I'll look into them if I can get a decent room for under the prices I mentioned.

What is the going rate to offer a girl for a few hours?

Hotel.com and Hoteltonight both have same day specials that are as Dr Evil has described.

This may be the most interesting thread to me in awhile because it touches directly on the issue I’ll be facing moving to Detroit next month

Very helpful advice^^^^

I'll check out the apps for finding short stay, day use hotels.

I also considered using hot tubs as a meeting point, but I don't especially like fucking in hot, bromide-infused chlorinated water.

These 2 Hotel Chains Have the Worst Reputations in the Industry

A hotel is more than just a place to crash for the night—when you’re traveling, you expect certain luxuries along the way, from a smiling hotel clerk to crisp white sheets. But a recent report found that some hotels just don’t impress.

The American Customer Satisfaction Index ranked 32 of the most popular hotel chains in the country based on reviews, giving each a customer satisfaction grade between zero and one hundred. The average hotel got a score of 76, but two sunk below the rest: Days Inn and Motel 6. (Pro tip: Regardless of where you stay, make sure you know the 15 things to never do in a hotel room.)

Both economy chains earned a score of just 65, which would be a D on most grading scales—far from satisfactory. The numbers aren’t too surprising, considering that Motel 6 and Days Inn are both known for their cheap rates, not their spectacular amenities. But it seems you get what you pay for. Consumer Affairs gives Motel 6 and Days Inn 1.5 stars and about 2 stars, respectively, based on customer reviews and complaints nationwide. Some words in the reviews that stand out are 'sketchy,' 'filthy,' and 'rude.' Yikes! Of course, every traveler has options, and some hotels on the ACSI list blew those out of the water. AC Hotels by Marriott topped the list with a score of 84, and Hilton Garden Inn was a close second at 83, meaning these upscale brands earned even better reputations than some luxury or upper upscale chains. For the globetrotters, check out the best hotel chains the world—ranked. Travelers on a budget could also consider booking a room at the best-ranked economy chain, Econo Lodge, which had a score of 73.

The first thing I looked up after reading Papi's response was, the 15 things to never do in a hotel room. I am relieved to report that "Bang your CF" is not on the list.

One rule of thumb to consider. If you can book a hotel room to use for about the same rate or less for the club VIP, you're doing ok.
