Can anyone tell me the various pro's and cons of visiting and escort in a hotel as opposed to an apartment??

Twice in the last fortnight I have a rang girls in my area to find that they are staying in a local hotel for the duration of their stay in the area. I know some girls work from hotels but I have never come across this until now as I usually punt a good bit away from home. When they told me I politely declined the opportunity to meet as I didn't know how deal with this situation. For instance, what to do if challenged by a receptionist/porter etc. Do the hotel staff know what is going on??

Any advice on this, greatly appreciated.
