Prostitute checked into our hotel!

Id just get a lock on my bedroom door 😆 cheaper and all that.

If it's what you are, you shouldn't be offended.

The PP is JOKING

I’m wondering if it was me! Around the same time today I checked in to a London hotel for £250 to get a room for my boyfriend and I. I dressed a bit sexy/slutty today too. We went up there and had sex for 3 hours and then both went home. The reason I checked in during the day is because both of our children are at home at the weekend and we need to find somewhere to have sex.

Seems the op isn’t keen to explain why she’s decided the woman was a sex worker. I suspect because she knows full well she’s been judgey and people would point it out.

It's amazing how some people seem to be unaware that there is a cost of living crisis going on for part of the population...

I agree. He'd paid his N.I for years to get that. It's not taxpayers money, it's his right. When will people stop thinking that pensioners are spending THEIR money. Who paid for schools, doctors etc when they were younger and not earning anything!

Quite. You're not going to know who's who. People have sex in hotels. Shocker.

I imagine most rapists’ mothers, daughters and wives think that.

Many rapists are otherwise normal men.

Don’t be so naive.

Now in the hotels are these to purchase or to borrow

Wow. So you see women being used in this way as tantamount to consensual sex?

I am so tired of entitled parents acting as though all of society must cater to them and their children! OP, if you want family friendly, go to disney. 🙄

How would it be any different to any other couple having sex next door?

No one said 'happy' about it, did they? It happens. It's always going to. I'd prefer my child to be in a hotel at the same time as a relatively safe prostitute going about her day than hearing about another one laying dead in a ditch. But I suppose we care about women in different ways:

I’m not naive that my children will eventually learn about the existence of sex work but my dd is 10 and genuinely has no idea of the concept. Seriously, what on earth are you all showing and teaching your children that they would be able to spot a prostitute at thirty paces in the lobby of a Premier Inn?

So you’d be happy to be in a hotel you’d spend a lot on, with your kids, and for there to be a series of rapists johns fucking some unfortunate woman in the room next to you?

Yeah, right.

It’s a safe place to work

I don’t know why it would make you uncomfortable?

Because the second one makes the person saying it feel virtuous.

On this, a few years back my partner went to reception to book an extra night at the hotel because we had to leave by 11am and me and the newborn were KO. He didn't want to wake us, it cost about £95 and he paid cash at reception.

It could have been something like this.

I believe you OP. I was shocked by blatant presence of sex workers in a London hotel, midweek with families staying. This was a hotel right on Piccadilly. Really put me off staying there, I’ve lived in London for loooooong time

I'm shocked you think it isn't a lot of money these days. 😆

I once checked into a hotel and was asked to pay a room deposit but my card wasn't working. I paid in cash. She could have been doing that.

I'm still not seeing good reason to believe that she was a prostitute from what you've written. Many hotels allow early check-in, some whenever they have a room available and some under particular circumstances and/or by advanced request. It's also possible in many hotels to check in LATE, having booked the previous night and let the hotel know your approximate arrival time - I've seen this in London in particular for people coming off of overnight transatlantic flights. As far as the amount she paid, hotel rates vary considerably. She could have had a credit, booked it on Priceline at a significant discount, benefited from a loyalty program deal, etc. It's not that unusual to pay cash, and given 10 and 20 are by far the most common denominations of Sterling (and what you'd get from an ATM), that's unremarkable too.

In a good hotel, it's likely that the guest could show up, give their name, and have a prearranged early check-in and a reduced price honored without any discussion that would be audible to other guests in the queue.

What point are you trying to make in a thread where an OP is horrified that someone might be using a hotel room for sex work?

No one is trying to be "cool." Women who resort to prostitution are in a DIRE way. Usually drug addicts. Kicking them out of hotels will mean they'll endanger themselves even more by doing it in cars/streets, it will not solve the problem. Ultimately, you will never eliminate sex work. That is the reality. It just needs to be made safer for women.
