Are there motels where you can avoid showing your driver's license, for anonynimity?
[QUOTE=FortyFour;5731113]I know what you mean. The short stay places are good enough for a "short stay". (Note, the dollar amounts here are normal, not the stupid code some think is "cool").
EZ-Rest Motel. Telegraph, just south of 9-Mile (Southfield). 3 hours (anytime) $28 + $2 key deposit. I've been there many times. No problems.
(Forgot the name) on Grand River. Few blocks EAST of Telegraph (Detroit). Last July it was 3 hour $30 + $5 key deposit (don't know if it's only certain hours). Been there once. No problems.
Dorchester Motel. Grand River between Inkster and Beech Daly (Redford). I stopped in to ask, but never stayed there. They have a different set up, where you can stay "most" of the afternoon for a reasonable rate (don't remember the exact hours or the price).
Bahama Motel. Grand River just north of 8-Mile (Farmington Hills). Last July it was $40-45 I think.
Out of curiosity, I stopped at a few other nearby places and they were in the $40 - $50 range. None of the "chain" motels that I checked offered short stays.[/QUOTE]SO, just wondering if these, or any other motels, where you do not have to show your driver's license, so you can maintain anonymity?

[QUOTE=MIguy69;5800342]SO, just wondering if these, or any other motels, where you do not have to show your driver's license, so you can maintain anonymity?[/QUOTE]I don't recall any that don't take your license info. I'm surprised that they don't also ask for a credit card to cover any damages.
If you're that concerned, find a hooker that hosts. That's my preference.
Another possibility. These are all Mom-and-Pop places that don't exactly cater to the business executive. If you're a respectable looking guy, visit some places and ASK THEM if there is an "alternative" to providing a license (no need to explain why). They already do a key deposit, maybe they'll take a larger deposit in lieu of the license. I'm sure that more than a few places have a higher "no license rate", ahem, I mean a tip / bribe for their trouble.
A possible problem with an alternative is that it's dependent on who you talk to. Maybe "Mom" says sure, but "Pop" says get lost.

But, as you say, that's prone to who is working, and who wants to show up, and then find the wrong person working the desk!
Too bad some hotels just don't have that policy. Like you said, they don't have your credit card, so having a copy of your license gives them little leverage if you pay cash for the room. Which is best way.
I have not gone to a lady's house, or hotel. It feels really unsafe, and open to so many problems that are lessened by renting a room. Who is in the bathroom, or the room next door, who is already watching her location, etc. , - to name just a few. Staying in the car seems safer, although less comfortable. But much more control over the situation.
I have wondered about using a fake license, or I'd, but know nothing about them, or what kind of trouble it could get someone into for using it?
