I agree with Bad's assessment on the only way to get busted. When i walk in the hotel, I walk in as if I am staying there myself. I smile and nod to the front desk peeps(hopefully she is a cutie hottie), i have my laptop bag on my shoulder(no laptop, usually a bottle of cabernet, champagne, or single malt), sometimes i will even pull my phone out and act like i am having a conversation..never have had a problem. I'm tall at 6'4 so i don't get intimidated, i would have parked and casually walked over to the officer and inquired about the hub-bub, but that's me. However I would always go with your gut response, and always and forever..call our lovely ladies and tell them y u r cancelling. Mutual respect is a 2-way street.
