How to get through hotel walk-in bookers
Every time I am in HK, I go through the forums in great detail in preparation, so after a couple of calls, I can go see a couple of hotel walk-ins. I usually go for just the $900-$1k range Chinese in TST. I tried my usual approach today but the results have been a bit frustrating. Out of about 20 calls I made, about a dozen just kept ringing. One guy called back from a number that was marked "private" and asks me "who do you want to see?". I had no way to figure out and told him that his number was marked private and asked who he had available. He didn't seem interested in telling me and just hung up. Another guy who picked up said they are closed and I should back after 9pm. About 4 or 5 of them just hung up on me the moment they heard English. I finally got through one, was told to go to the "R" hotel. Got there on time, called the guy and he says she moved to a different hotel and I should go to that hotel after a couple of hours. Finally ended up booking a Japanese girl who was advertising in TST, but instead was a couple of MTR stations away. Well, I am here a couple more days, and would like to figure out if I should try a different approach to get through to these guys. Amy suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will of course share my reports on the forum. This forum has been a tremendous resource over the years and I started contributing last year after my last trip here. Thank you for creating this amazing community.
