I haven't heard bad luck in clients cause all live in houses in quiet residential areas. But are the areas that are no no's to you i.e Council estates, lonely houses on fringes of town, places with limited parking e.t.c

I won't go to workplaces (or anywhere else 'public' or that may have other people wandering past/in) or anywhere I can't check properly with normal security procedures. I also have a minimum booking duration based on distance, for example I won't go outside my own town for less than two hours and since I don't drive, the place really has to have some transport links (I should point out that I do very few outcalls, but more because I can't be arsed).

I dont see what council estates have to do with anything? I grew up on one, and there were people there who had/didnt have money, and who were/weren't arseholes just like there is anywhere else - I certainly wouldn't turn a punter down out of sheer snobbery, if that's what you mean. If they follow the rest of my booking procedures, including being polite and respectful, why would I?

I hate the ones that tell you there's plenty of parking then you turn up and see clamping signs everywhere. As much as they insist that nobody has ever been clamped I won't take a chance so I park elsewhere then end up with a long walk.

Ditto. I also wouldn't do Outcalls to hotels in certain areas - going back to your post about hotel snobbery, I wouldn't visit hotels in certain (London) postcodes when I know there aren't any decent ones, OR that I know it's not an area I'd like to walk around in.

I won't visit hotels which I know to be either shitholes or keycarded - we have a couple of the usual suspects here in Scarborough and as far as I'm concerned they can book an incall if they want to see me that much (neither are more than a ten minute walk from me anyway). If that's no good to 'em, I can live with it .

Agree with Rooby.
Hotels only. Four or five star ones too. Central London only/ Canary Wharf.

I can easily understand why some ladies don't offer home visits (and I rarely do them myself) but why on earth would you care what a hotel's star rating is when you're working?

I can understand not wanting to stay in lower rated places for personal stuff, and I doubt any of us would agree to continue with a booking in a hotel which was a complete dump or a health hazard or both, but seriously - you'd turn down a well paid booking with a perfectly nice paying punter purely because he was staying in a Novotel, or something?

One of my best outcalls ever was to a crappy Holiday Inn. The guy was here on business and apparently there had been some last minute problem with the original 4 star hotel which had been booked for him so he found himself stuck at this low budget one. Well it turns out he was minted. It was a 3 hour outcall and on top of that he gave me ?100 tip. My highest ever! SWEET 
I?m not fussed about how plush the hotel is. I won?t do home visits though ever, not even with someone I might have seen before.   

Anywhere that doesn't check out via my usual procedures, or workplaces.  I don't have problems with council estates and have had some great clients in areas considered 'a bit rough'. I also avoid anywhere too local, or where it's not discrete - I'm hardly going to accept a booking from someone staying in rooms above a local pub that I have to walk through(plus these'd be highly unlikely to meet my security check requirements).

I won't go to hotels that don't have phones in the room because I like to ring the room to make sure they are in it.
