    Doesn’t look too good when you get to your date riding the bus and bring them back to your two bedroom apartment that you share with two roommates including one who’s got their bed in the livingroom!

        Not even all that expensive either, especially for the chain “premium” hotels like Leonardo or Marriott or Village or whatever.

        Turn up smart, look tired, ask for a room and ask for “the corporate rate, because I need to claim it back on expenses” or some shit.

        A £180 or £200 per night suddenly because available for £70-90… if they have any availablity of course. There’s a wild markup on hotel room prices.

          That’s not how it works at all. There’s no secret words to get a lower price. The best possible scenario is an upgrade if you have status at the hotel, and that isn’t even guaranteed. Hotels charge businesses a lot of money.

    This is actual reality. Fake it till you make it. Many are in positions of success only apparently. The rich with resources do the same. The limit is an ethical one and you set it yourself.
