Who are these people?

[Sex]

I'm on biz trip and motel seem to be the cheapest, decent accomodation option. Now, I would think that guests would come around Friday and Weekends to do the dirty, man was I wrong.
I don't know if this is a general thing but I observed that even on Mondays @ 10AM horny folks would show up. This continue for all week: morning, midday, brief silence, then late afternoons and into night time.

Don't these people work ? Don't they have meetings or stuff to do? Cars parked, are mostly big, top of the line my wild guess is that these are mostly business owners or executives, job roles that nobody gives you hell for leaving half the day.

Thoughts?

I can understand why that would bug you, but let me tell you that, as a former hotel worker in the
UK myself (several years ago), people will fuck at ANY time of the day or night.

I was the night shift guy when I was working (so, obviously, I overheard lots of sexy sounds), but I was
told a few sordid stories from my work colleagues on day shifts.

For example, sometimes the manager would send one or two workers to conduct 'room checks', to see if the lights
were working in each room, to check whether the kettles were functioning OK, etc., and they would occasionally
stumble upon a couple having sex. One time, a worker opened a door and saw a guy on top of a woman banging
away while she had her legs in the air.

I was also told a story about a group of people who shot an actual porn video inside a family room during the
day - I mean with proper video recording equipment.

But when you really think about it, none of this should come as a shock, because, well, let's face it, a lot
of people who do these 9-5 office jobs, do take the piss. Given the opportunity, I bet quite a few of them
would escape for a 2-hour-long 'lunch break' - and I bet even the office bosses do this quite regularly
themselves. I mean, if your job is to ensure that an X number of spreadsheets are completed by a
certain cut-off date, then you could easily sit around and do fuck-all for much of the time until that
date approaches (my ex-girlfriend's job was like this).

Another thing is that not everyone (of course) works 9-5, Monday-Friday. Some may have to work
on weekends, some may work night shifts, some work early morning shifts, or whatever. So, you're
gonna get people popping in during the day for a shag.

Another point to remember is that escorts book rooms in hotels for a number of days, especially while they're
'touring' a city, or a certain area of a city. Strictly speaking, this is against policy - in any hotel - because
UK hotel regulations forbid a hotel guest to use it as a base for their business. However, minimally staffed
budget hotels in the UK will usually turn a blind eye (or just not care), as the staff are too busy doing other jobs
to notice. (It's also not easy to actually prove if a woman staying in a hotel is a prostitute, of course.)

I remember when I started working in a hotel, and the staff knew about a Russian escort who was staying there.
They were actually concerned when she mysteriously vanished one morning, and must have left in a hurry,
because she left some items behind, e.g. clothing, condoms, lube, and even...a sharp knife(!)

Just to add this (based on my experiences as a former delivery driver - pre-lockdown), in case
someone thinks I'm talking crap:

1. Check out the pubs in the City of London after, say, 2pm on Fridays. They're full
of City workers (inside and outside the pubs) getting totally pissed out of their brains.
So, obviously, Fridays are 'half days' for many City workers.

2. Many office workers in London's West End leave for home by 2pm on Fridays, which is
why many delivery drivers have to go like crackers to get their parcels delivered before
this time on that day.

Now, you may think: 'So what? Maybe they've had a hard week and wanna go home early for the weekend'.
Yeah, but try being a minimum wage-earning warehouse worker and leaving ONE MINUTE early at a food
distribution centre (for example). I guarantee you your employer would fire you that same week.

Great explanation sndprv, I totally agree with you. Lol, part of me wishes I worked in the hospitality sector? Although it’s not that well paid is it? I used to love hearing Juliet’s tales of her experiences in hotels, coordinating seminars etc.....That could be another reason as well. Maybe seminars and business/corporate stuff is starting to happen again, now covid restrictions are being lifted in the UK? Rather than teams and zoom meetings as in the last 18 months? People making up for lost time?! Love hearing all this though. Cheers

Great explanation sndprv, I totally agree with you. Lol, part of me wishes I worked in the hospitality sector? Although it’s not that well paid is it?

The wages in the hospitality sector are shit - always have been. The hotel chain I worked for paid minimum wage,
plus a night shift allowance. I was shocked at how low wages were in the UK when I returned to the country 10 years ago;
I was earning more as a courier back in 1996 - 15 years prior! No overtime was ever paid when I had to go in on my off
days to sort out certain issues. Nor was I paid overtime whenever one of my colleagues was frequently late for the
morning shift handover. Nor when I had to stay for an extra hour when paramedics were called while a hotel guest
was experiencing a diabetic fit one morning (and nearly died).

But the job isn't very physical, I suppose. It does, however, wear you down mentally, especially when you
have to run a medium-sized hotel with a 24-hour bar all by yourself at night - and on Saturday nights when
it gets very busy. That's why I always insisted that my manager provided me with one other colleague until 4am
on Friday and Saturday nights. You begin to tire of the job once you realise how many different incidents can
occur during any shift. It feels like a weight on your mind that just keeps getting heavier and heavier.

It's also a dangerous job at times. A receptionist before me in the same hotel was stabbed somewhere in the
side of his body during a robbery. To add insult to injury, the company suspected the incident was an inside
job! One of my jobs was to evict hotel guests when they were caught smoking in the rooms, or when
they were a major nuisance to other guests, e.g. when they had loud music on and too many visitors
inside the room with them - so imagine how a group would react to one guy telling them to leave (you'd
basically get death threats).

It's a very customer service-oriented job. You learn a lot about people - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
You meet people with some interesting stories to tell, and you meet some very funny people. You learn
how people react to words and phrases, and what triggers them. You'd be surprised at how some
people behave under the influence of alcohol - particularly women.

[elltell]

Lol, well that’s put me off completely then!
I’d like to think that wouldn’t be the case in a larger chain of hotel (Marriott) etc...?
Especially the bad stuff. Surely they have security to help staff out?
So not even time to go round trying to pick out sex sounds either?!

And I haven't even gone into any details of some of my worst experiences.

The more expensive hotel chains will definitely have more members of staff during the night,
even if they don't have security. That's enough. I was always on my own. Even just one
additional worker makes a big difference.

Look at it this way: suppose someone brought their family with them (partner and kids) to stay
for a weekend in a budget hotel, where there was only ONE staff member on duty during the night.
How safe would that guest feel knowing that that worker has to fulfill the roles of a receptionist,
bartender, cook, cleaner, security guard and fire marshal - all on their own?

That's why there should be a new law, which should state the minimum number of staff members on duty
at any given time in any building that is classified as a 'hotel'. There should always be a minimum of two
members of staff on duty during the night, no matter how small the hotel.

So not even time to go round trying to pick out sex sounds either?!

Sure, sometimes. When you know you can get away with it.

I was exposed to sex sounds quite regularly, anyway, whether I liked it or not, because
I had to go on regular 'fire patrols' throughout the night, whenever I had the opportunity.

[elltell]

Yes I completely agree. Even for health and safety and duty of care for their employee.
What if you fell ill or got hurt during your shift. No one there to help you apart from guests. Terrible.
Lol, yes, I’d be taking my time on those fire patrols. You never know eh?

Not once did I receive any help from a hotel guest, and I've been in situations where I (alone) was up against
entire groups of guests.

I can't even say that the police were always 100 per cent on my side whenever I called them in. They will only
be fully on your side when they realise that their fellow officers are also under threat, in which case, they will
call for reinforcements - which arrive very quickly indeed.

However, I've been in a situation where I had called the police (I gave them plenty of notice), and they - two
officers (a man and a woman) - just stood outside the hotel and waited till the incident had finished and I had
dealt with it myself.

That same woman PC attended a later incident at the hotel, which involved 3 van fulls of officers attending
and arresting a group of guests. She gave me a stern stare after I said something in response to a death threat I
received - which she and multiple officers had overheard - from a guy they had searched, arrested and handcuffed.
I was simply standing up for myself. The impression I got from this experience, is that there are women police officers
who have a problem with men who are assertive, which you have to be when running a hotel this size on your own at
night. Makes you question their psychological motivation for joining the force in the first place, eh? (BTW, this same
crazy guy phoned the hotel during the day shift and was even threatening the manageress, because he couldn't find his
car key, and assumed it was still in the hotel.)

[elltell]

Omg, sounds a nightmare. And certainly not worth it for the money you get paid. No way.
I’d be joining a larger chain hotel if I did have to. I take it you are out of that now, and just stay in them on business?

[sndprv]

I want nothing more to do with hotels, except when I'm visiting another area/city of the UK for tourism/leisure
purposes.

Also Weekdays there arent that many people normally lodging in hotel rooms as opposed to weekends so some retirees or part time workers etc or even full time working people sometimes take the day off and like to come fuck during weekdays when it is not too busy and they can be as loud as they want.

Australian hotels are half empty mostly during weekdays so heard some people talk about meeting up mid week ( hump day wednesdays) to fuck at hotels when it aint that busy

Also a fellow doctor I worked with used to fck his lady on the side mid week mid day so his wife didnt catch him other times and weekends when he was with family instead

The hotel I worked at was frequently booked to near full capacity even on weekdays. The reason was because
we would get many contractors coming to London for jobs, and their employers would book family rooms, which
could accommodate up to three adults, as long as two of the guys didn't mind sharing a double bed.
Other companies, of course, would book their employees into their own separate (double) rooms.

We would also get lone workers (for example, IT workers on 60K - 70K short term contracts), who would book a
double room for the week (Monday to Friday), then go back home to Lincolnshire, or Tyne and Wear (or wherever)
for the weekend. There was obviously no point in them renting a place, since accommodation costs in London
have been astronomically high for many years.

The hotel chain I worked for was notorious for overbooking its hotels, and the rooms were given out on a
first-come-first-served basis. Because I was the night shift guy, and I was responsible for checking in guests
into the last remaining rooms, I often had to face customers and tell them I had no rooms left for them
whenever we were overbooked by head office. So you can imagine how angry a lot of these customers
became whenever I informed them that the company overbooking policy was stated in the terms and
conditions of their booking. There were nights when head office would overbook our hotel by as many
as 6 above capacity(!)

wow thats insane..yeh here only super big cities like sydney and melbourne you get that chatter or hype. prob be booked out there mid week as well..but in say adelaide, hobart or perth mid week you could hear crickets chirping in the hotels even brisbane in queensland was dead mid week as i travel a bit interstate for work.

yeh i worked in london for a bit. i know what you mean.especially mayfair or chelsea. its always full.

well hopefully you can get back to night shift again. you would be able to hear the sound of music right there with the likes of colonel von trapp and maria yodelling again like it were the 60s again.

I've been to a few of the hotels in Mayfair - as a delivery driver only, not as a guest.

The one I delivered to a lot was the Chesterfield. All the staff there were really nice.

well hopefully you can get back to night shift again.

Absolutely no way would I ever set foot in a hotel again for work purposes. Budget hotels, especially, are hell holes.

They're probably much worse now than when I was working in them. I had to deal with all sorts of 'problem people'
at night. We had to take guests that were booked in by the local council and the police - drug addicts, alcoholics,
the mentally ill, the mentally challenged, domestic abuse victims, benefit scammers, and all sorts. Believe me,
some of these people caused me and the entire hotel a lot of problems, and I was not paid enough to be a social
worker on top of everything else I had to do.

Funny you mentioned that film, because I once visited an apartment block where actress Julie Andrews lived,
way back in 1979 or 1980. A wealthy family who lived in the same block invited us over for tea. In fact, their
family name was/is well known in the UK high street. It really opened my eyes to how the rich lived (back then).
It's an experience I've never forgotten.
