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

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!

Small businesses also do the short term day-rate thing.

I have a client who does head massages and she hires a room by the hour in various Travelodges etc (and yes, it's head massage, not other kinds of massage!).

Although I know "escorts" also hire rooms by the hour during the day for what they call "out-calls".

Well known hotels for swingers to use. The hotels are used to it.

Laiste · 01/09/2019 14:24

I've done it.

I can think of 101 reasons to do it and cheating is only one of them.

AmIRightOrAMeringue · 01/09/2019 14:26

Of course the hotels don't bat an eyelid! How could they? They've been paid. What would they say anyway!?

busybarbara · 01/09/2019 14:27

They don't even need to know. You don't have to check out at most of those places. Especially Premier Inn which are card based. Just leave the cards in the room and walk out. You already paid

SimonJT · 01/09/2019 14:29

I have done it a few times (but no cheating involved), it’s sometimes the better option if you’re living in a shared house. I extended a hotel stay last Sunday so we had time for a shag before check out.

FrenchyQ · 01/09/2019 14:34

Husband and I book into a hotel every so often for an afternoon, don't think the hotel really care aslong as theyve been paid

Justaboy · 01/09/2019 14:35

Appaling behaviour! have ye no shame;??

I bet that its 50 odd % of their revenue the 2 hour shag-an-afternoon:)

maybejustmaybeitsme · 01/09/2019 14:35

@duffyluth it's not me doing it! I'd never be so bold as to book in for a few hours. In my youth it was fields not hotels and not with someone else's husband I might add.

Oh sorry I misunderstood.

When I was at university in the mid 70s I worked as a hotel receptionist one summer during the long vac, it was very common even then. (am v.old)
We used to have a bit of fun with the men (it was always the men) who came in for the room by asking them what time they wanted breakfast, served in-room and included in the room rate.
They would always say they were leaving far too early for the breakfast service and we'd reply that it was no problem, breakfast could be served any time from midnight. Much bluster ensued. These days I suspect they wouldn't give a flying fart.

Of course they had always left by about 5 pm to get back to the wife Once we were full up and a customer turned up in the early evening looking for a room.
We'd had one of these short-time guests earlier, a regular, so we checked the room (empty of course and surprisingly tidy and bed not, er, slept in, ). So we just straightened the bedcover and re-let the room. Blush

MHHQ can we have a delete the post just made button?

In fact all the ones justly made;)

itsaboojum · 01/09/2019 14:41

Can’t help wondering how many people saw the thread title and thought maybe you were making an offer. Grin

AlrightOkNow · 01/09/2019 14:45

I have definitely not thought about this before to have a breather in an afternoon where DH is being a pain and won't help much with DC...

With Travelodge, isn't there a drop box in some of them for keys?

kateandme · 01/09/2019 14:45

my uncle was a hotel advisor and he was on the board that helped a hotel do this.but it wasnt(mentioned) for sex hours.but more for people who came to visit big cities and were screaming out for a day to be able to have a hotel base.they visitors to use facilties and a room for short times.also on locations whre there wre big transport paces like airports and schedule delays or late early flights etc.
it is also now more popilar as more pople are commuting and business meeting held in hotels.

Yes you can book and stay as long or as little as you like.
They dont care whats going on in the room as long as they get money.
My name for places like that hump citylodge.
Sadly it`s very rife as mumsnet will know.

insideoutsider · 01/09/2019 14:48

Never heard of dayuse.co.uk?
You can book different rooms at different locations.
If you're feeling shy, make small talk about needing to catch a late train / flight and want to be nearby.

So, to those who think their partners 'never have the time' to shag any one else, think again! Grin

You could always do what my over the road neighbours who were living in a very crowded HMO did one night. Which was nip into the back seat of their car for a (not very) quickie. I would advise you to park down the road by the church though, there's no street lighting there , whereas if your car is parked outside my house it is fully illuminated by the streetlamp by my gate........

maybejustmaybeitsme · 01/09/2019 14:52

I've led a very sheltered life it seems!

Not nice, insidoutsider.

duffyluth · 01/09/2019 14:59

duffylust So if not you then who?..

I have no idea what you mean? I made a mistake that's all.

insideoutsider · 01/09/2019 17:11

@SunshineCake sorry! A painful joke I guess.

It's the website my ex husband used when he was having an affair. It was popular on the Ashley Madison website, I came to learn.

I could swear he was working hard in the office and that statement rings so familiar when I hear it from wives all over MN.

Of course
