Premier inn are excellent venues, it takes literally 5 mins to set the huge mattress up on the floor, very good showering facilities too. 100% recommend premier

Thank you :-)

Personally (having had several matches years ago in hotel rooms), I would not use a hotel room anymore.

Reasons as follows -

1. The walls are usually paper thin.
2. There maybe hotel guests in the room next door or below (as well as the noise and point no 1).
3. An excess of noise may bring a knock on the door from hotel staff.
4. Although the furniture in some rooms can be moved to create some space, you’ll quickly find how clean some rooms are (or likely not) when you move that furniture.

Just my points from my experience that’s all, and that has been in Premier Inns and Travelodge.

Thank you.

I understand but you would need to confirm this, but I believe Iain (Grove Park), still has is matted venue (he sold the ring during covid).
He is London based and offers the best value hire rates.

If you are ever in a hotel/motel and the guy you are with has a medical emergency: diabetic issue,stroke,choking event heart attack or dies ( yes that can happen ) when EMS and the Police Or Sheriff the EMTs are going to as you questions. Has he ever done this before? Has he eaten today? What medications is he taking? How old is he. Is he alergic to anything?. When you are vague and cant answer those questions. They are going to be suspicious. The Law Enforcement person is going to consider you as a questionable character. If your opponent passes out or worse. You are probabbly going to be questioned aggressively. Just something most guys never consider. I would question you very aggressively. I was a LEO for 34 years

years.

If this happened in a home, it would be the same questions. Your scenario could happen in any setting, so not sure the intent of your reply.

I was thinking the same thing. It's a risk no matter where it would happen.

Sounds like he's implying if it happens home that you just slip out quietly and let them die? LOL

Oh Please... Lets all fill out a medical questionnaire.

You’ll have to try a few hotels and take note of the ones that work well. With Premier Inn I very rarely had problems. Their beds are very light weight, so can easily be moved into the little corridor in front of the bathroom to create floor space (not all the way out of the room!). I never ever had a dirty room in a Premier Inn, not even under the furniture. I’m not a very vocal person, so noise has never been a problem (never had a knock on the door in over 20 years now). They have some hotels where the rooms are big enough so that you don’t even need to move the bed, just take the mattress off and put it in front of the bed (although their newer hotels usually feature smaller rooms).

Travelodge is a mixed bag. Some of their hotels work great, some not so much. Same goes for cleanliness. Some Travelodges are impeccable, others are dirty sh*tholes with an inch of dust around the room perimeter and under the bed (Croydon for example).

Holiday Inn Express is also a mixed bag. I never had a dirty room, but their new standard room layout is rather compact, so it’s difficult to make space and they often have heavier bed frames. However, there are plenty of hotels that haven’t been refurbished yet

I've wrestled in an hotel when someone (or me) has stayed in such. What needs considering more is the noise your wrestle will generate as a fun erotic wrestle will (should be) less quiet than a full on submission wrestle or noisy cummer. I've had several hotel wrestles and never had anyone knock on the door or exclaimed to 'be quiet' or words to that effect. If either person is already staying at the hotel then no additional cost is necessary.

Switch on the TV to cover any noise from your wrestling.

Thanks again for those helpful replies 👍

Never had an issue in a Travelodge or Premier Inn and no-one has ever come to the door - of course you can't go full volume as you might do in a dedicated mat venue but that's an acceptable compromise. If you want a full ring experience then book a ring.

The noise emanating from a hotel room during a wrestle is likely no more than from a couple having energetic sex, including a noisy cummer for that matter, so I would not worry about that.

Some people have made good points about cleanliness but you can take measures: place the bottom sheet on the ground and the mattress on top - this will create a border of sheet which extends about a foot all the way around. Then put the duvet cover on top of the mattress so you can wrestle on something clean.

I have never considered what would happen if your opponent had a stroke or heart attack - but I think a plausible story, if you are mortified byu the thought of admitting you were wrestling, is to say you were fooling around, foreplay etc. Either way you will need to explain why you were with a stranger in a hotel room. However, as other people said, if you were at his house what would you do - creep out and hope no-one sees?!

For me, a hotel room is better than a mat space as they are usually in a more convenient location, have better shower facilities, and are probably be cheaper (depending on when you book).

Good luck!

Noise seepage depends on the structure of the building. First, if there are rooms on the ground floor chose one of those. Second, chose the rooms at the end or corners of the building when available. And finally, look for the rooms next to the elevator or stairwell. Those walls will always be the most heavily structured. Not to mention typically only one neighbor to worry about, instead of two.

Alternatively, maybe just put something across or in your opponents mouth as they won't be able to make too much noise?

I guess it depends on the time of day. Id this activity is taken place later on folks will have their TV on or be partaking in their own noisy activity so it's not really a problem

I have to confess I've never moved the mattress off the bed. My opponents seem to have been too keen to get on with things!

My limited experience has been Premier Inns. The downside is you need a room key to access the rooms so have to meet folk outside or in the bar.

What I have done in the past is ask for two key cards and then hide the second one in the car park or somewhere (there is always somewhere you can hide it). Then give the room number and location of the key, together with a photo, to the opponent.

Actually , all these scenarios are great, lots of food for thought here, the comments high lite the scary, but very real, situations that can arise during a meet to fight or wrestle. Makes ya think a bit for sure.
