Holiday Inn at airport giving really bad vibe?

[IMBob]

Restaurant row on Carlson Court is good is the incall location is at Crowne Plaza, but it's a 20 min walk from Holiday Inn, not worth it.

I want to park at the restaurants lot near Toronto Congress Centre as well but I'm concerned about those nosey owners calling a tow truck, last thing I want is to come out of my one hour appointment and notice my car not there. Many years ago I made a mistake of getting into the lot of Park'N Fly thinking it's just a paid parking lot and almost got my car trapped there, I had to explain to the guy working there I made a mistake, and was able to get out 10 minutes before my actual appointment.

Someone also mentioned the auto shop behind Holiday Inn after they close, but I don't want to risk getting a ticket for parking unauthorized at private property, got this bullshit ticket in Mississauga at Webb Dr after parking at that stupid field to save $1.5.

I got a $75 ticket from parking in that empty field a few years ago ....

For me it was a Sunday...I missed that Private Property sign because I saw two others car also parked there (they also got tickets later). Apparently some Municipal Parking Enforcement douchebag is watching that field like a hawk. It's a parking ticket trap.

Wow, someone's getting a bit defensive about getting called out for being paranoid and probably drawing attention to himself.

Also, he's paranoid that everyone there is watching him and knows that he's there to see an escort, so what does he do?

I'm talking about 600 Dixon Road.

For one I hate how they have a camera right before that rising arm barrier, I usually wear a hoodie, but I plan to wear mask and sunglasses in the future.

You cannot make this shit up!

I booked a motel in sauga once. The clerk gave Me the wrong key and I opened the door on a couple in the midst of a paid encounter. I also saw 3 black guys pull in in 3 separate baller cars. The whole place was a whore house. I doubt the cops care about these hotels unless they think there's trafficking of some sort.

3 black guys pull up in 3 seperate baller cars means what exactly? I'm interested to know if they were white guys if that sentence would be written the same way.

They weren't, I truly hope you get your answer one day.

Didn't work for the Unabomber!

FWIW, except for the parking I really like that hotel.

I was there last week and it was jammed. I went for lunch in Perkins (to get my parking validated too!) after my session and ended up chatting with and being invited to sit with a nice Ukrainian woman and her son. Seems a Ukrainian church has sponsored a whole lot of Ukrainian refugees and they were being hosted at this Holiday in for two weeks.

Anyways, never had any bad vibes or experiences there.

Obviously, they were three surgical residents at the nearby hospital who needed some shut eye before returning for their next gruelling shift. Duh!

The lady doth protest too much.

Bruh, I gotta ask. How'd you know it was a paid encounter?

Oh man, you went there!

This guy acts super suspicious then wonders why people treat him suspiciously? He dresses like a kidnapper, runs away from cops investigating a kidnapping, and wonders why they chased him. He parks in a grass field 50 feet away from a parking meter and thinks it's some kind of elaborate trap. He repeatedly enters the wrong hotels and parking lots and wonders why people question why he's there. I think he just might be making this shit up!

One time in the evening around 7 pm I saw a pig car in front of lobby, I texted booker asking if everything all right? Booker replied "oh they are just giving people tickets for improper parking"...I thought it was bullshit because pigs don't give parking tickets, that's a job for those parking enforcement assholes. Booker had no idea what she was talking about.

Another time, it was around 5 pm, I noticed a lot of cars got tickets, I looked at one of them, it said "blocking fire route" $250, I was surprised by the high amount, apparently the car was parked beside those designated spaces, so I cruised around a little until I found one and parked there. I never understood that sign that says "reserved for long term parking", how the hell do they verify that? Would I get a ticket if I parked there? For a hotel parking lot, which is private property, the possibility of getting a ticket from these city parking enforcement assholes really feels like harassment.

While walking in the hotel hallway, I noticed this cute little chick wearing black and she was looking at me in a suspicious manner, I assumed she must be one of the room cleaners, later confirmed that as I walked back to the lobby and noticed her talking to another cleaner.

After the session with SP, as I exited through the door near the pool, I habitually looked over my shoulder and noticed this guy with dark complexion giving me a dirty look, I so started to walk in a nonchalant manner pretending to text somebody, in reality I was deleting the messages from escort agency, if anybody ask me any question, I would say I'm out for some fresh air and I plan to visit the Perkins restaurant. I noticed he seemed to be following me, but later I found him standing next to a truck, asshole's warming up his engine, I waited a few minutes until he drove away, because my car was parked a few spots away from his truck and I don't want to be tailed, then I looped back through the lawn area to the front of my car, made sure nobody saw me, then got in and drove away.
Each time this place seems to get more unfriendly... Anyone feel that? I keep my head on a swivel whenever I'm there...I even delete all the texts from agency right away and only wait for text about room number.

I suddenly got paranoid lying in my bed reading this that maybe I’m currently getting a ticket and being listened to typing outside my
door and I’m going to put my eye mask on and hope no one’s there.
you wearing a hoodie and mask and looking over your shoulders and giving the workers looks and checking what tickets other cars got and probably trying to reverse from
the lot when you saw the camera which already got you is likely causing others to be like- what’s his deal ?! lol
this your first time ?also that area in general is sketchy. industrial. transient. Holiday inn in general is sketchy.
minimum wage people don’t care about you
maybe managers with some authority complex
but likely not at holiday inn
private parking tickets can occur if beyond time
and if they have kicense and it’s not connected to room
then ticket. Was it a police vehicle or a security vehicle? also I think that one is beside a new low income /immigrant building ?
Lots of truckers in that area too who are over
tired and sometimes shady eyed due to lack
of showers and general long hauls and their looks are nothing to do with you. Maybe the guy you saw you thought was watching you thought the same of you lol. Like a cat that sees itself in the mirror and runs.
blocking a fire route is a safety concern for
Those in the building so it’s warranted regardless of the issuer.
not your concern. Best Advice. Dont look like the part (sunglasses at night. Hoodie. Mask. Slouched. Backpack. Backwards hat. Jerky movements. dont glare. Don’t go doing weird things I’m the parking lot. People could be watching you from their cars or their rooms. Staff during breaks. So you look like someone to watch. Mind your business and they’ll mind theirs. Don’t be drunk or on drugs. This makes you paranoid
finally, asking the booker ? Why would she know lol. why would she set you up. Why would she be investigation the police in the area. She’s busy and like hell
if I know. You got this ! its the holiday inn you don’t need to pace the halls erasing your phone.

The OP

Absolutely

It's been years since I've been to the airport area for an incall, but when I went I never parked at the hotel lots because they charge a lot. The hotel you mention charges $20 for overnight parking. There are plenty of large and free lots in the area like the Toronto Congress Centre, the restaurant row on Carlson Court. There are a few strip malls with fast food places in them too. You would have to walk a few minutes to the hotel though. Obviously, I would use a hotel lot if the weather was very lousy. I never park in condo visitor spots because I would have to ring up security, wait for them to open the door, snake my way through the underground maze, and then register my plate at the front desk. Obviously, not all buildings are like this and some have sections for public parking.



Newsflash #1: there are cameras everywhere including outside and inside a building's lobby and public areas. Wearing a hoddie and sunglasses or a disguise would make you stand out more than anyone else.



How would a booker know why a police cruiser is parked in front? Bookers don't have a CCTV link to the building. A cruiser could be on-site because of suspected criminal activity or another complaint. I don't know if they send parking enforcement officers or regular cruisers to private property for parking issues. It is possible to verify if a car is allowed to use a reserved spot. We have these things called pens, paper and books to record information. Specifically, the building staff can write down the license plate inside a book. If they're really fancy, they can use a computer to record who is allowed to be in a reserved spot. If you parked in a reserved spot, fire route, etc. on private property, then why would getting a parking ticket equal harassment?



Newsflash #2: room cleaners and hotel staff wear uniforms and nametags.



IMO, exiting the building anywhere besides the main entrance also draws attention to yourself.

Also if one is really paranoid they can check the live city emergency dispatches which give vague descriptions of why they are attending an intersection

 

[Muchadoaboutnothing]

Gotcha. Still, I always recommend finding something else to do if you get down early.

The lady I got together with yesterday needed a few extra minutes but thankfully, she lives across the street from a coffee shop so I just grabbed a coffee there. Added bonus, I just used their wifi so I didn't have to turn on my data to find out when she was ready.

I’ve sat in lobbies of all
sorts from 5-60 minutes and never once asked if i need anything or what im
doing and the staff talk
about normal boring topics between people
coming to the desk whether hotel or condo. I also don’t look like im bad news or homeless. I just sit with eyes closed. If you’re sighing and looking distressed. Muttering aloud then yes someone will notice and be inquisitive

 

[wonderingeye]

I've been at that location a few times. It really is a bad hotel for clients wishing to blend in.

If I was stopped by a friend or family member, there is zero reason why I should be there. No restaurant, no starbucks, no coffee shop. I know that if I ran in to a male friend, chances are he is there for the same reason. But, I still want to say that popped in for a coffee or meeting someone at the bar. In my head, I can sell that.

Secondly, the exits which are closer to the rooms is great for a quick departure; however, one must navigate that large parking lot to enter the lobby. Again, odd to not park near the entrance.

It is a looooong walk from the lobby to the room, passing staff who know why you are here and others who may include the odd client.

The place has the vibes of a sleazy hotel.

Honestly, I stopped seeing ladies who hosted from this location.

Best place IMHO is Sandman. The hotel is off the main strip with access from the rear right, close to the elevators with limited view of the front desk desk. Walk in with a coffee and head to the elevators.

The hotel and a restaurant share the lot. Easy explanation should one crosses paths with a friend/family/colleague.

Btw, I've seen a lady and the met up with the boys at the bar.

Hope the agencies are reading this...

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

Some of you are overthinking things too much. Has anyone here ever run into someone they know at an incall, especially at an airport hotel? What are the odds of this happening? Why would anyone you know be at a hotel in your/their hometown, especially near the airport? If it did happen, I would just say I'm meeting a work colleague from out of town.

I know people who live in a condo that's a popular agency incall, and I've never run into them there. That's way more likely than running into someone at a hotel. If I did I would just say I have another friend who lives there.

As for the hotel/condo staff, they don't care unless you're being weird. One time I had a last second cancellation while I was already parked at that hotel. I found another SP available there 30m later, so I had a drink at the bar and sat in the lobby looking at TERB. Nobody bothered me and it was later at night. I've also loitered in various corners of that hotel waiting for the room number without issue.

At condos I've sat in the lobby looking for something on UberEats to pick up on the way home. They don't care if you're already inside the building and you don't bother anyone or stay too long.

Police scanners are digital and encrypted these days so you can't listen in anymore. With enough effort, I'm sure someone can crack that encryption though. If you're going to the trouble of decrypting emergency broadcasts, then you should just stay home because your own shadow might scare you.

...there is a Perkins right there. I've never eaten there. Apparently it's a chain (just found out today) and there is only one in Toronto. You can say you're trying out the Perkins.

I think I'll do it next time, take a few photos of their menu, memorize their special items, so that I can come up with an excuse of "trying out their amazing food, it's recommended to me by a colleague".
