That is not actually true. I only see one client per day, so the cost of the room is very much an issue for me. I work full time, and I don't have time to entertain more often than that, nor do I wish to have a parade of clients in and out of a hotel room. That gets noticed. So the perception that we will make it up is not true. If you read what I said though, I was telling you how to take your motel 6 budget, and get a three star hotel with it. That was my point.

For me, budget hotels work fine. Having said that, I'm not going to get a room in a bad part of town, and I always ask a provider if she is comfortable with the hotel I'm planning on getting. Also for clients, using Priceline or any other service requiring a credit card probably won't fly. I tend to use cash for room when playing locally.
