Hi, I am wondering on everyone’s preference on where to cuddle when you’re not cuddling at your own place (if you even cuddle at your own place). Do you prefer a hotel, a Airbnb (or similar), or it does not matter to you, as long as your cuddling.
I myself don’t mind airbnbs to an extent but I know some cuddlers aren’t comfortable with it because it’s a random persons home that doesn’t belong to either cuddler. Also, I sometimes wonder if the person running the Airbnb is worried when they see different people coming in and out of my room whether it’s a separate entrance or not.
With a hotel, there’s a bigger safety precaution in place that makes both of us feel safer. And if it’s someone I’ve cuddled before, I can just simply tell them my room number and up they come lol easy peasy. And some Airbnb’s I’ve booked have a $10 cleaning fee, $30 Airbnb fee, $30 taxes fee…. Ends up sometimes costing more then a hotel room where I could get a free breakfast for the same price.
I like hotels they just feel safer.
I prefer Airbnb over Hotels when I’m on vacation.. I would not use/visit an Airbnb for a cuddle appointment.. most Airbnb have Ring camera.. they will get the wrong idea when they see different people showing up/leaving.. the owners like to know who is going to be in their home .. A Hotel is good for hosting if you’re only going to see one person that day.. it’s easy to book using Dayuse to get a room in a very nice Hotel for a few hours.. if I get the room, I am reimbursed when my cuddler arrives otherwise I go to the cuddlers Hotel… Hotels ( not motels) are safe and better than Airbnb for cuddle appointments..
I don't go anywhere private with anyone I don't know well and trust, so as @pmvines said in this thread, it doesn't matter to me where the cuddle is, because if I'm there, it's because I already feel safe with that person.

@SunsetSnuggles very good point ! Safety first 😃 which is why I do not host at my home 🏠 not even if I have seen the person a few times..my home is off limits… as far as going to meet a cuddler at a Hotel, I will meet the person at a Starbucks, cafe before going to my/their Hotel .. 1. Speak on the telephone/ video chat , 2. Meet at cafe before cuddling session to discuss exchange drivers license/photo ID ( I need to see photo, full name , state … covering our address is fine and respected/understood) , looking at their car make/model / license plate .. I don’t mind if the cuddler observes my car /license plate as well… as long as we both respect each other and follow the rules everything will be fine 😃 3. Go to the cuddle location .. Hotel 🏨 Happy cuddling 🤗 Everyone! Be safe 😃
I also text a safety friend with all of the information Before, upon arrival and upon/after leaving a cuddle session … I tell the cuddler I will be doing so and the cuddler is welcome to notify one of their friends as well .. there are still crazy people in the world , but, it’s better to be safe than sorry 😊 do the best we can
I follow the same steps if the cuddler is coming to my Hotel 🏨 I would not just give out the room number … Hope everyone stays safe and happy 😃
I will only use hotels. To me it is the safer option.
My deal with Airbnb is that there are huge housing shortages and housing prices in much of the country are wildly unaffordable. Short-term rentals/investment properties contribute to that problem, so I refuse to use them.
I'm curious, for those who prefer a hotel for safety reasons - what is your preference if you're cuddling with a repeat client that you know and trust? I totally get the safety consideration, but hotels feel so sterile and not so cozy to me. Not that it's that bad, but a nice Airbnb totally takes the cake from a coziness perspective.
To me it depends on the day weekdays like Friday & Saturday hotels are double triple. Airbnb its usually a flat rate for any day of the week. If I'm getting an Airbnb I'm getting a whole place to myself in a good neighborhood. So I don't got to worry about being around strangers. Hotels gives you more amenties in general. If i had to pick one it will be Airbnb
@natickben @moosegreely973 There have been a couple AirBnBs that I stayed in that it was a room in someone's home, not the entire home... 🤷♀️ I will agree that many are now are entire apartments or homes though.
I said either but whenever I’m traveling for pleasure, I always stay at airbnbs. If I’m traveling for work, it’s hotels.
I think that the cleaning and other fees at AirBnB’s make them somewhat cost prohibitive. If I am traveling for cuddles I like to be able to ask for extra linens and also use the amenities such as gym, pool, restaurant, to recharge my batteries. Flexible check in and check out times are nice plus the option to DayUse. Additionally I use Priceline to get great deals on rooms in the cities I visit to keep costs low. Most hotels have a lobby or coffee shop to meet new clients in a public place. For all of these reasons my vote is hotel for cuddles, AirBnB for personal travel of longer than 3 days!
I prefer hotels for safety reasons. Plus, all the added fees for Airbnb can often make the cost more than a hotel. The hotel I prefer in Boston, you have to use your room key to access the elevators and stairs to all rooms so that no one off the street can access.
I like cuddling outside the most. I don’t like hotels b/c I don’t feel safe. I don’t rlly trust AirBnB b/c they don’t offer support for the renter or the rentee. They seem 2 only care about money.
My last cuddle was by a lil stream in the sunshine, n I felt very connected 2 humanity in a way i don’t under walls.
I think a crowded park on a warm sunny day is the absolute best 🤓
I’ve not gotten a chance to cuddle outdoors yet but the nice weather is coming and I hope it happens someday soon!
@BenjiRader I adore outside cuddles; the vast majority of my cuddles are in parks. 🌳🐦🌷🦋🐿⛲️ Here are some of the views:

I have some really scary experiences, where I was booked to stay in places that look like they "pay by the hour" sort of thing. I have since learned my lesson that I tell the cuddler that the hotel needs to be a recognised chain like "Travelodge" or similar.
I agree with some of the sentiment shared above... Hotels are safer than AirBnB for both parties + I tend to not want to visit hotels that look run down or shady or anything... idea is to feel peace and calm during a session vs being worried about safety...
Dayuse let’s you get a Hotel room at upscale Hotels 🏨 ( Marriott, Hilton, etc) for a few hours during the day .. It’s Not the same as those hourly rate shady motels…
I would choose the Bear BnB over any place run by a man.
I love Airbnb for cuddle trips! Houston has awesome Airbnb choices! 🩷
I think as long as both people are comfortable with the arrangement then anywhere is good. A long time ago I cuddled at a drive in movie it was super chill and unique for me
I actually like the idea of cuddling in a drive-in movie @mercedesislove. Hopefully I get to try that one day
I prefer Airbnb for personal use but would use a hotel for cuddling. Hotels have staff and cameras everywhere so my activity with the client will be tracked which I like as a safety precaution.
I think it depends. Some airb&b places want the names of your company, for security reasons. Hotels are a better experience, in my opinion.
Which is better, a hotel or a Airbnb?
Yes.
I've found AirBnB to be a total waste UNLESS i'm traveling with a large group (4+). Airbnb will charge you a $250 cleaning fee and give you a list of chores to do and all kinds of unreasonable rules lol.
The hotel is what I would pick if im hosting
