Who pays for the hotel? Who picks the location for public sessions?
The times I’ve used a hotel we agreed on a price limit and split the cost. Both of us were enthusiasts though. Pros usually require the client pay in full from what I know.
Yes @2dogmom
If my clients can’t come to me and they don’t have an available place to host, then they book the hotel. If they book a hotel, I give them an extra hour of cuddling for free ☺️
Nice incentive Sheena (If they book a hotel, I give them an extra hour of cuddling for free), very generous of you. Shows a lot of character and appreciation
I have just said, when booking, is the X Motel on Suchandsuch Road ok? Never a problem. 2/3rds of the local Red Roof Inns are good. 1/3rd suffer from poor housekeeping or are in undesirable areas. Local rates $53 -73+taxes.
Often the lady has been to that location in the recent past.
I generally agree. The decision to choose and pay for hotel accommodation should be mutually shared. That should be discussed early on in the conversation when both parties choose to meet each other.
Because several of my cuddle folks are two to three hrs drive or so , we don't see each other often so if I go there or they come here we usually get a room and stay the night . If I go to them I'll pay , if they come to me they'll pay . It's kinda fun like a mini retreat .
@Sheena123 ditto what @Stillworkin247 said.
@pmvines what??? lol
@2dogmom ok I stand corrected sometimes we will go half and half when i visit then but it is not always the case 🙂
Some of you sound pretty reasonable, Nobody around here would ever pay half for the hotel lol. So if you can't host or they can't host the typical costs of a 1-hour cuddle can add up to $300 because you also have to pay for their travel fee.
I don't do hotels either. Nor host, or be hosted. Unless it's someone I know quite well, and it's at a point in my life that I can do either one of them.
Though, I'll think hypothetically. If I am in a position that I can pay some, I'll accept the offer. If not I'll decline, and if they ask a reason, I might say so. Though, generally speaking I feel bad having my cuddle partner pay for all of it. Unless they insist, and/or it's like a dollar to them.
The other factor is travel, if myself or the other person is spending so much traveling across the country, or something: then that should be taken into account. Not only the cost of traveling, though how the person must be exhausted too, especially depending on the type of transportation they took to get there. If the other person was in the city (the hotel is in), or steps from the hotel they booked.
@Lovelight if you don't host or be hosted how do you ever find someone to cuddle ? Do you prefer public only ?
@pmvines due to my current situations, for now I prefer public.
Lol, and im over here booking Phoenician and Cosmopolitan suites...
Edit
Thats entirely misleading, my bad... I totally just like cuddling in nice hotels... avocado bread for breakfast in bed.
Personally, I've wasted enough of my own money before I joined CC booking hotels only to have the other person no-show, block my number and what have you. Calgary (and Alberta for that matter) isn't a heavy traffic area as far as legitimate professional cuddling goes, so if a client bails on me, there is a next-to-nil chance I'll have use for the room. Now, I leave that up to the person booking. If it's someone I know well, I have no issue chipping in, but I will never pay in full unless the session cost covers the room. The ones who are serious about meeting me usually have no issue, and I also offer free time in exchange.
I'm really hoping I can find a place where it isn't going to be an issue for me to host, because that's what I prefer. I don't want people to have to book hotels just to be able to have a session with me. The service is already hard enough on the wallet as it is, and I like the safety that comes with having someone in the house who can intervene if something goes wrong, plus being in a familiar environment like my own home puts me more in control.
Hotels are safer than most homes because there are cameras everywhere and most weirdos will know this. If you go to their house you are on their turf and they have the upper hand.
Now the fire alarm went off once when I was cuddling in Phoenix at a hotel and I told her they go off all the time and it will go off soon. Wrong. Fire truck came and the fireman pounded on the door, so we had to go downstairs and wait in the parking lot. The verdict—the fire alarms went off for no reason but the fire department apparently have to come by Arizona law.
Valid point. Though, I could also set up my own surveillance as well and likely would. Would be expensive, but I bet you nobody with nefarious intent books me after that, lol. Hell, even when I hosted earlier in the year some people would run off once I let them know my safety contact (DH) will be in the house. That's usually a good preventative measure/screening tool.
💯 about being on someone else's turf. That's exactly how I see it. You just never know what you're walking into at the end of the day. The person who's hosting could be Gandhi when you meet in public and turn into Jame Gumb when you go to their house. I would much rather enter a hotel to do a session, literally the only issue I've ever dealt with was when I left my T&C pages behind and had to go pick them back up. Client left it at desk with my name on the envelope and the hoity-toity front desk lady was asking me questions that were totally irrelevant and unnecessary in order to get them back... I think she opened it. LOL
The thing I hate doing is having clients book hotels just to see me, especially if they're a lower income. I'd feel much better referring them to the other local pro who does host. Travelers aren't a big deal because they're already hooked up with the room.
@Catloaf Yes, as a business traveler I am already hooked up with the hotel.
That’s right ! If you are scared of cuddling the lion , why go to the lions den .
@Catloaf that’s the type of good business mentality that can be rare to see around. Most of all being a decent, and considerate person. Keep up the good work!
