Hotel 411

[Sir William]

So I'm askin'.... can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced hotel at which one might theoretically pay cash, might theoretically have a lady come by without being molested by the staff, and might theoretically leave from afterwards without staying the whole night?

I understand that Russia actually has hotels that you can stay at by-the-hour, but the only thing close that I have heard of here is the odd flea-bag along the low track... that is definitely NOT what I am after. Just a nice clean hotel that is large enough that a single woman walking through the lobby would not raise eyebrows....

Any help you could give a fellow perbian would be much appreciated - PM me if you want to keep it quiet!

Your gonna be pretty hard pressed to find a place *that you'd wanna stay in* over night that won't ask for a copy of your CC.

Last place I stayed in on the spur of the moment just for rompty-bompty was the London Guard on Kingsway. Clean and private, easy as pie to sneak a chick in because of the general layout of the place. TV bed and shower. You may on a slightly slim as hell chance be able to convince the guy to let you pay cash if you don't have a CC.

you might wanna try...

the Cassandra hotel on Kingsway, close to Joyce.

Credit is pretty easy to get nowadays, so you might want to try getting a credit card just for pooning expenses. Have the bills sent to your office if that is cool or maybe a postbox.

Ramadas have not too expensive winter rates ($69 to $79 depending on location) and you wouldn't mind asking a higher end chick there for some fun. Their lobbies are so busy that she could just walk in to the elevator and go up to the room with no hassle.

There are other places starting at about $49 that the deskmen just don't give a shit who comes and goes.

But I don't know any clean places that just take cash - theft is the problem. If they don't have a credit card impression to charge it to, people will walk out with everything that isn't bolted down - I've been told of furniture and TV's passed out the windows, bed linens and towels missing, shower curtains taken, even the interior toilet hardware and light bulbs stripped. And at the low margin that the lower end places operate at, it wouldn't take too many total room thefts to equal the profit of a lot of stays.

there are four hotels at the end of robson
that dont require a creditcard
they ask for it upfront, but if you offer a deposit
they'll let it go:

the greenbrier-1393 robson-(604) 683-4558

the riviera-1431 robson st-(604) 685-1301

the barclay-1348 robson-(604) 688-8850

and tropicana suites-1361 robson-604-687-6631

they're all fairly safe and clean
no hassles

every motel I used, was more then happy to take cash .... and some are as good as a decent hotel ... swimming pool or sauna might just add to possibilities

 

[nessa]

saunas are my favourite-so toasty

Aw, you guys'n'gals are great! No wonder I love ya so much....

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have a problem leaving a CC imprint as a deposit -I just don't want a charge to go on it that ends up showing on my monthly statement... hence the pay-by-cash.

I'll have to throw my knapsack on by back and go a-wanderin'
