Would you book into a hotel for 2 hours just to DTD?

[maybejustmaybeitsme]

A local ish hotel about 5 miles from where you live as the man is married though separated and living at his parents' and your ex is still living with you?

I didn't know you could actually do this it apparently the Travelodge or premier inn don't bat an eye if you check in at 8pm then out again at 10pm.

I think it's pretty unseemly but maybe I'm just a prude!

They see it all the time haha! Why not book somewhere a bit nicer and stay the night?

Sure. I wouldn’t actually check out though, just leave and don’t come back

If you're both free agents, it's nobody's business. I'm sure they see it all the time

Why not?

It's also possible at most hotels to book a "day rate" so the room is yours 10am-4pm ish.

Secret relationship. Woman is OW that no one knew about.

I didn't know about day rates! Use the pool and facilities kind of thing?

I don’t think premier inns or travel lodges have pools 🤣 the facilities are usually a vending machine

I have done this when much younger. Both myself and boyfriend lived with respective parents. We’d go out for the evening for dinner or movie and then go to a hotel. I had a curfew (yes, even in my early 20’s and during my uni years) and he’d drop me back home in good time. No day rates though as these were back in the day before premier inn etc. Most definitely neither of us were married.

Done it loads .... who cares

I guess it never crossed my mind that this was an option for illicit sex. You learn something new every day on mumsnet!

But who would stop you doing it? Of course it’s an option lol!

Sounds like the lovely kind of thing a cheat does

I did a summer job at a travelodge. Every pension Tuesday this old boy used to come in with a different youngish woman. He’d be in the room for an hour or so, drop the key back to reception saying he wouldn’t need it again today.

I would for a nap.

They don't mind. I've done it before with posh hotels for photo shoots and left after 3hrs or so

We just used the back seat of my car when we lived with parents

Yes you can. I've done it several times. Not in a cheating situation. It's quite fun.

@TheFatberg That made me laugh out loud!

I might I suppose but would prefer 3 hours or so.

Only two hours?? Oh darling book at least 5hrs for resting in between

Why wouldn't you just stay?

@mrswx

They don't stay as they have their wife/husband to get back to!

I almost did this a few weeks ago!

The man I am seeing seperated from his wife months ago but was staying with his parents and only just moved into his flat this week. It was getting a bit....urgent :o Luckily my ex asked to have the kids an extra weekend so we didnt need to!

I knew an elderly woman who had made her fortune with her hotel but renting rooms by the hour for this exact purpose. This was in the 60s and 70s.

I know a few people who work at premier inn, and the holiday inn, and this happens at least 3 or 4 times a week. A couple check in at 3pm, and then check out at 6pm. (Or check in at 7pm and check out at 10pm...) They think people won't know. They DO know. They DON'T care.

My friend works in a premier inn, and she saw a man check in with a prostitute some weeks back (the 'call girl' comes in at least once a week with a different man!) and my friend knew the man. He was an old colleague, and is verrrry married. He is also a massive arsehole, and my friend took great pleasure in seeing him squirm. She didn't tell anyone who she saw though; just that it was a bloke she used to know.
