    ›manager comes and says i need to pay to let her come up

    I have worked in several hotels. None of them charged for visitors. I’m calling bullshit on this one.

      … Or the motel knows how prostitution works, and wants their cut, and has worked this arrangement out before hand.

      If this were in Central or South America, or Asia it’s believable. I remember checking in one time and there was a sign on the wall saying something like “female guests will incur an extra charge”.

      In my experience, cheaper hotels charge per person and don’t allow visitors at all; more expensive ones charge per room (though with a limit for visitors or extra guests).

      IMO In reality this can only apply if you can’t bypass the reception desk (e.g. a motel).

      Additionally some states and countries require that all guests are registered and have shown some id, so if you wanna go up you’ve got to check in.
