Pump n Dump travelers. How do make your hotel decision?

past year I've been htting up a lot of shows, events, festivals etc across the US . it's been fun but I'd like to UP my hookup game.

paid the membership, surfed the cities ... took the notes and still baffled.i know every city has its own circuit but am I missing something?

how do you plan your PnD location?

Last year a guy online sent me a pdf of a Chicago hotel list from some site he bought it from. I used it and wasted $350/night cost. it was Bday so I rationalized the travel expense. NOT AGAIN!

Past experience I have less luck when booking near a bathhouse (Dallas, Chicago, Houston).

I've booked in gay districts (bars) with little attention digitally; if I go OUT I usually chat or hook up easier (Chicago, Denver, Vegas).

I STOPPED paying for hotel guest parking just in case they need it.

I know most Red Roofs Motel 6 lines have easy access vs the upscale places w key access only. I've used the sniffies hotel locations and surf guest access but never cintact the hotel.
