This is more of a question for the ladies but the guys are welcome to chime in with their opinions. Since I've been in the biz for a while now (on and off), you'd think I'd have figured this out by now but it still occasionally causes me problems...

When I have made a booking with a client for outcall to his hotel, sometimes I am not given the room number until practically the last minute. I understand that it is because often, the client is coming straight from the airport (or wherever he's coming from) and he is not checking in until close to the time of our date. Obviously, he can't give me the room number until he knows it himself (understandable). However, the problem arises when I make my way to the hotel in time for the appointment and then I never get the phone call that I am patiently awaiting. Mind you, this doesn't happen very often but it does happen.


If a client has an appointment for 8 pm and he says he'll call me between 7:30 and 7:45 with the room number, I will tell him that I will not leave my house (or wherever I am) until I have the room number first. I don't like to sound harsh but some of us ladies have to book drivers etc. I know for a fact that some drivers will not even pick up the lady to take her to a call if she does not have the room number.

Not a big deal if the hotel is downtown because I can get there quickly, but if it's out at the airport, Mississauga, Markham etc. it becomes a real issue because I need ample time to get to these areas. I cannot be expected to head out to these areas without a room number, can I?
 
Hi Cutie! Unless you know the client I would think you would need at least one hours notice before leaving for the hotel to check and see if the client is at least registered there.
 
when i do outcalls i tell them i need to confirm an hour before hand saves all kinds of hassle. it gives them time to freshen up and leaves you time to get to the place.
you would expect the first and last name of the person and room number to even attempt to go to them and yes you need the first and last name guys the desk asks

Hi! That's exactly how I feel but try explaining it to these guys...also, without a real last name (they sometimes give me a fake one), you can't even check to see if they're registered or not. :(

Chloe, I would think no last name, no nookie! Just make it a requirement on your web site that you need a last name before you will leave for the hotel. And if they do cancel you can always call me. GB

You can't be expect to be anywhere in the GTA in an hour. If they can't give a last name they should at least give you a cell number to confirm or it seems like a deal breaker.

The cell number is to confirm where the guy is so you can get his room number and then call him there.

We all know you an veteran so to speak. I think were talking about the same thing but with out hijacking the thread I will leave it at that.
 
Thanks for the advice! I do usually do what everyone is suggesting but some guys say it's unfair and that other ladies don't do this. I thought maybe I was being too strict but now I realize I'm not - thanks! The thing is, I usually do get a confirmation call and a cell phone number (but not always - some guys say they don't have a cell). Even then, I still hate to head all the way out of my way without the room number - it's just too risky. Having the room number makes me feel more secure that the guy will indeed be there when I arrive.

As for the last name, unfortunately there's no real way of telling if it's fake or not (unless it's Humperdinck or something, lol). So if a guy gives me his name, I tend to believe that it's real until I find out otherwise. :(

lol. I hope for your sake the summer of Mike is better than the summer of George.

Our rule always was that we need the name you will be registered under at the hotel. We will give you a call before we leave to confim your room number and the appointment. (we were coming from Barrie all the time so it was an even longer drive for us). I never ran into many who had a problem with it and if they did, they didn't get an appointment. Plain and simple!

Sometimes guys just call to inquire and will say things like, "I will be checking in to the Sheraton at 7pm, are you available for 9pm?" and all it really means is they are just asking. I normally tell them something like, "ok, just call me when you get settled and let me know the room number". If they cannot give me their last name I will accept a cell phone number, as long as I can call back and confirm.

Sounds totally reasonable. If it's somebody just calling to inquire that's not a problem at all...often though, these are guys that have booked in advance and confirmed but they still can't give me the room number because they haven't checked in yet.

Like I said, it rarely happens that I am stood up in these situations but it has happened. I still don't like the idea of travelling a fair distance without a room number regardless of the situation. And some drivers also require the room number before we leave. I think a cell phone number is no guarantee as they can easily just not answer when I get there.

Well the same thing could happen with a room number. Sometimes they just don't answer and when you get there they just don't come to the door. That's why I only take bookings by phone or email.

That's only happened to me once so I guess that's why I feel better about having the room number.
