I got on ok with it but only saw two people, and quite far apart as it was a 2 hour and a 1.5 hour. The first guy phoned reception and said he was here to see a friend and they let him in. Second guy, I met outside and let him in.

The entrance is key fobbed and the only way in is via the keyfob.

I.always pay by card but the female I checked in with paid by cash and also unfortunately I forgot I had my work phone on loud and it started ringing when I was at reception (I won't be making that mistake again). So I think the manager must know, but I am going to see a few more and then leave today (I have to walk directly past reception to let the clients in).

Why would a ringing phone flag you as a sex worker? Sure I pop my work phone on silent when checking in, just in case but still think that's not proof of anything.

It's not illegal, but the hotel/owners of the rented apartment can kick you out. The police however won't care. Escorting is legal in the UK, so they're not going to show up if someone calls them.

While not illegal, it can be against the terms of a rented apartment as many have a term in the lease of not running a business from home. So they can kick you out based on that.

In summary: it's not illegal, just might not go along with terms/be what the owners want.

I do know of 1 case where hotel called police on sex worker and they arrived and took her down police station this was several years ago. I would imagine this is not a common situation but i do not it happened. Just like when i was working as an indie in a rented incall the police raided it and had a warrant they were mob handed and searched the entire place and took client in to another room as i was in the act. Awful situation but a long time ago.

No, nothing you are doing is illegal. Probably just very bad form to trust another girl you dont know. Not everyone is as honest and compassionate as you may be - some will happily fuck you over and not give it a second thought.

Just got it alone. I pretty much always have and found it the best way to operate.

Just keep working in the apartment until they kick you out, they might not even kick you out! Or if you think you can do higher volume at the hotel, then move there when convenient.

They're 'allowed' to do this because they're the police, and can ask you, me or anybody else to come to the station, give your name and address and so on if they have any reason to think something untoward is going on. You can refuse, but there's very little point and if you haven't committed any offence you don't have anything to be concerned about - the trouble with only having scraps of hearsay and half-stories as above is that nobody knows what actually happened (if the woman concerned was kicking up a fuss and refusing to leave, for example).

Hotels will often have rules and policies just like we do - that isn't the same as the law :).

Thanks for all of your advice.

I went down today and the manager was properly staring at me (unfortunately I can often read what people are feeling or thinking due to being an empath) but I wasn't too bothered - also, I had my personal phone in my hand when my work phone started ringing at check in. Not much of an obvious sign, but the female I checked in with was in heels, has fake boobs, heavy makeup, and the fact that she was paying by cash just makes it obvious to me.

I wasn't that busy today so cancelled the hotel at 2PM and stayed here. I will take any bookings that I get here tomorrow and just let them in (I am going down in normal clothes now and just stripping to my lingerie and putting heels on when they get up here). If they kick me out, they kick me out.

Had one prick today who had the apartment name but claimed he couldn't come due to a 'man being on reception' like it isn't me taking the risk. Also, had the 1.5 hour guy cancel on Monday night due to it being a 'dodgy area', think he was chatting shit but I had made him buy me a Paysafe voucher prior to even considering the booking as I thought that he might be a flake so I got that at least.

Thanks veggiegal, it was a bad move of me to naively trust someone and it was completely my fault. Like you said, it is best to go it alone and I actually prefer that.

Onward and upwards hopefully from now on anyway!

Hotel situation was the hotel had other sex workers working there before and did not want this type of thing continuing anymore so the police was called and they took her down the station obviously to scare her. She said the hotel wanted the word to spread that no working girls were welcome this was a good 7 years ago and my situation was i was busy had complaints from neighbours they seen many men in and out. It was a snobby area. Police raided it detective and uniform about 7 of them they had got a warrant from a judge
They came in all guns blazing searched entire place 1 client in there, sepetated both of us, took name addresses etc checked for any warrants under our names. It was a very horrible situation embarrassing and humiliating. I said i have done nothing wrong as i am a indie they wanted to check there was nobody forcing me etc and behind it. They said they will not take it further or take me to the police station if i agree to go if not things will be made difficult as i am not wanted around here. Then i got a lecture of why am i doing this as i do not look like a hooker or a drug addict then said why let men do these things etc.

After this i left the flat it was rented i never owned it, it was not worth any further hassle for me. I contacted a outreach place after this and they were very surprised by how they handled the situation plus i contacted a solicitor and he thought it went too far and thought possibly we could bring complaints but i left it. I do also know another sex worker who had police harassment at her working flat and once she got solicitors involved the lower ranking police were told by hifh ranking one to leave her alone and apologized.

I have learnt to expect different treatments from different police forces. I had 1 visit once off a different force and they were very understanding and not interested but only visited because a client had caused trouble reporting it as revenge for me not giving extra time for free.

Hotels can do a lot. They often have it in their terms not not conduct prostitution. Rented apartments is different. You're down to what the lease holder allows.

I skirt around it at my place because I only see 3 to 4 incalls a week and meet all outside wearing normal work clothes during the day. In the evening, no one bars an eye last. But that's purely because I keep low volume. If I were seeing 2 a day like I did at the start, I'd have been thrown out by now. But that is because I live in a upscale concierge building.

Never ever seen that.
I'm glad I got all the Cynthia Payne books before the prices rocked to sky high.

I know of one chain has a clause about not conducting a business from their rooms.

I can think of more than one, and none of them will be being named here :).

Like Lottie though, I've never seen one that specifically.mentions prostitution.
