Dean, I agree it is the traffic in and out that can cause the biggest problem. In some new boutique hotels, the stay includes access to a club in the hotel and they can be very particular about the numbers of people coming and going. Be certain to remove all materials identifying the hotel from your shooting area and keep the noise down. I have found that it is easier to arrive with a number of pelican cases and be generous in tipping the valet, bellman and housekeeping. Things will go smoothly. A two bedroom suite will give you five great areas with different backgrounds in which to shoot. We have actually had more difficulty in the 'down and dirty' motels then in the nice places. Any place that is less than $30 in a city is pretty 'atmospheric' :groovy:
