Lobby excuses.

[yugdlo]

Ok. So no more popping smoke and throwing it thru the front door, screaming "cover me buddy I'm going in" and low crawling to the elevator.

And the acting normal. Could you please define normal? From what I've seen at some of these places "normal" can mean a lot of things.

[Longermonger]

Hotel clerk: Sir, can I help you?
You: Yes!!! I'm with the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, and I'd like to talk to you a little bit about my beliefs. Are you busy?

I dress in coveralls with "Lou's Plumbing" on the back & carrying a plunger. If anyone asks, I say, "Shitters backed up on 4." & head to the elevator.

The coveralls help hide the big red bow on my dick!

LMAO.....best one I've read yet!

y: There's no such thing as normal.

All day yesterday and the evening before I was hurting myself smiling at the above comments cause once upon a time ago...
Does anyone really think that hotel staff don't know what's going on? They might miss a few but still. Remember their job is to rent rooms and have happy repeat clients.
Some posts above have alluded to hotel staff being bored, etc. While partially true, note that the lobby is a stage, and at times more entertaining, and more original, than what a scriptwriter can come up with.
Hotel trivia presented for humour. Note that these also include civilians dating civilians.
For JR: All I'm going to say is " pet deposits ". I recall a few diff situations where maids got several hundred dollar bonuses. Guests do get blacklisted. Thanks to BigMike for that memory.
For local guys that check into a local hotel: Thank you for giving the staff an excuse to place bets with each other on which of the gals that come through the lobby later are your date. Winner based on which gal comes back through the lobby on her way out xx minutes later.
By the way, the maids run their own set of bets, as do bar staff, for the theatrics that go on at their stages. And, it's quite common for staff to be in on bets from other areas of hotel.
Towels and maids: Never ask the front desk for towels, that causes a paper trail. As R Stone mentioned, ask a maid and tip her. You will then have xtra your entire stay and you just might get adopted and looked after. I disagree with sherm's conclusion of a discretion issue, cause of all staff in hotel, the maids are going to know regardless, and his tale shows that that the gal had been adopted by the maids and perhaps had a bit of extra security cause of that. Of course it's the tip money.
Gemma gets 2 full bonus points. One for correct check in procedure for gals and one for the elevator mention.
royamcr gets an assist on the elevator.
Doughnut eaters showed at a place and demanded the elevators all be brought down cause they wanted to find someone. So fire override was used. When fire override is used it takes a while to reset systems. So... the pastry boys had to go up the stairwell 12 floors to the 14th in full gear.
I have more, but seriously, it's a zoo, and civilian stuff is a heavy part if it. Think wedding reception with full open bar and there's people everywhere and a smoke bomb will not be noticed.
For guys, and op's original que: lacrew has first correct answer at post 2. Just don't walk into a potted plant.

Have I seen you? JK jk.. I always give my gentlemen exact way to walk in, go left or right to elevator. I tell them Walk in like you own it.

The worst is an off day for a hotel and there are like 2-3 cars in the lot. The best is hotels that are bustling with activity and you can just blend in like you are a guest.

You have to wonder if hotel staff has Johndar.

You have Conrad Hilton on your client list, Sami?!?!?

[Tetas]

I usually stop at the desk and chat about the weather with whoever's working, then I tell them to send a bunch of clean towels to whatever room I'm going to "Cause there's fixing to be a big mess to clean up."
Keeps 'em on their toes...lol

San Antonio Coed has a thread going entitled: In call Hotel procedures.
Ours is hands down better. I'm glad I'm in Kansas City.

I do want to know what happens when malwoody arrives at a different city.

Something having to do with their mayor, a proclamation, and keys to the city....

[lacrew_2000]

I have been stopped in the lobby once...I think it was the Hilton. I used some bs excuse and kept going.

Another time in a Super 8, the lobby guy followed me a little bit. I ignored him...but right as I was leaving, le comes in the lot and the clerk runs out, pointing at my car. I got out of there...and le didnt follow. Btw...avoid the Super 8 in Topeka.

[Mizzou82]

If there is not a lot of guest traffic and I get a little spooked, I let the lady know and walk through the lobby with a small overnight bag (empty) that stays in my trunk. Not too many johns have luggage
I think a couple girls I see have deals with the hotel managers. One has a photo that was taken in the hotel entry way.

1. M82 gets a bonus point: Business travelers always have luggage, or an armload of work stuff, or they've stopped somewhere to pick up a dinner that they're going to eat in their room. Always have something in your hand, even if it's just a phone. And yes, repeating the mantra: Just walk through as if you belong there.

2. Gals, perhaps tip the maids. They're going to know regardless. And let them clean the room. You should be able to figure out their schedule the 1st day.

3. Never ever get hotel staff upset, and that includes never wedge a side door open, cause almost all have "it's been open longer than x seconds" warning lights at front desk.

Happy hoteling. And if there happens to be a civilian wedding reception going on, seriously, the staff will not notice a thing. They'll be busy trying to stop the elevator races.

[Misawahawk]

The only answer is to walk with a sense of purpose. If you act all mousey that will only cause problems. Look security and front desk people in they eye. Be polite, say how's it going, good evening etc.

I got Ahhhhs on that list!!
