Late last night I made an appointment with a hotel girl in the Jordan area. Waited 45 mins and was given the location. Went into the hotel and a staff stopped me and asked for registration and id.

Does this happen to late night rendevous? Do hotels check id during the afternoon?

no idea~

why do they check ur id? they are just workers in that hotel !

then did u see the gal?

The guy was standing near the lifts. He had his uniform on and his name tag so I am sure hes working there.
He asked me which room I was going to and after I told him he asked me to register with my hkid.

I politely told him I'd come back later and then left. Immediately called the girl to cancel and she was nice about it.

You did the right thing. Rock on, dude!

If it was SD, they've been doing it for a couple of months, although at my last visit about a week ago, they didn't. Prior to
that I showed my ID about 3 or 4 times. What's the problem bro, you're not doing anything illegal. But I certainly admire your
resolve. With the the cutie of my choice waiting for me upstairs, I don't think anything could keep me away.     

I wonder if you can cite the privacy ordinance and not give any info.... I don't mind showing ID, but if they keep a record of it, no thanks...

If they take the info down, I am sure they keep a record. In either case, it's just not a good practice to divulge your personal info without the need to know basis.

They've been doing that for a while. I don't know why they record people's ID, but it is annoying.

Not enough to stop me from going though.

Anyone good enough with local law to know if we can deny giving them ID but still go up?

forgot to bring ID but you can have one of my special visiting cards

Special visiting cards? You mean one of these?

A hotel can deny entry to anyone they choose. So if you do't show ID when they ask - they just you refuse entry.  

Ok...happen to me once....2nd visit to these Hotel......

I was pissed off bout the ID thing but as Jake said....the pretty gal is upstair waiting for........

I asked the guy who register my ID ...Why??

He said too many punters comin in and out...and that the Hotel knew what's happening and the things going on up and down with the gals and punters......but for the security and safety of other hotel guests, should any inconvenience caused by the punters to the other guests or even the gals.......at least the Hotel can track down the wrongdoer one way or another.....

So, if any bro was on the list where 1 of the punter gone haywire.......you will be drag down to the station for questioning....perhaps.


Well, that;s what the hotel guy said.....I couldn;t care less cos the gal is waiting for me in the room.........


Hmm......I though nowaday they move most of the gals to TST area.......
Recently, I always called upfront to check the location...if it is the said hotel....I will not go for it.....

Better be Cautious than Lust.............

I wonder how this policy has affected business for them. Since many girls are still working out of said hotel, the ID check is definitely not a full deterent.

I've been asked several times for ID in various places, and depending on the situation I may or may not present it.  I remember some tiny little motels here that asked me for ID before and I refused to show them, instead I wrote down the information, I would usually leave half true and half untrue, such as real pass port number, no way I am giving that to them.

They also did this to me in HK at the chung-king mansion some years back, they wanted to keep a list of all the passport numbers, their excuse was incase I lose my passport...  I said ok, I took out my passport, and wrote down the number fudging a few of the digits, in a place like that, I don't trust. In a big hotel, ok, at least other people, guests, probably won't see it, but it still makes me feel uncomfortable to leave any info.  Though just a few days ago when those business men were killed, it may not be such a bad idea for them to know who is coming to visit visit you so I understand a little why they are checking ID's.
