Reasons for staying in a hotel in your hometown - my house is being fumigated; my Company is having a nearby conference that likely will last late in the night and begin early in the morning; hubby and I needed a getaway; my in-laws are visiting
You could show up with a grocery bag of chocolate, whipped cream, leather and lace. Accidentally let the handcuffs fall out as you are signing your credit card slip.
Then it would make sense that you only needed the room for an hour.

The Valet is where you ask for directions And actually they have been pretty accurate.
And yes, almost all hotels slide the receipt under the door. I usually make sure I add something to the tab after 2AM when the receipt is most frequently delivered to see if they can track it down. Very frequently a room service breakfast or a breakfast in the hotel dining room charged to the room gives them absolute fits to find while you are standing there innocently suggesting that there was an additional charge. I have had them say, in absolute frustration, "Just go ahead and we'll put it on your credit card." Not an answer, or "Thank you for telling us. The kitchen can't get me the charges so consider it a complimentary breakfast." Of course the bad joke comes when that complimentary breakfast hits your credit card.

I guess at my hotel I am the Valet then . We are a hotel with 72 rooms and no room service, cafe, kitchen (except mine) and no room service. We have a hot food bar for breakfast which is comp. So if the clerk on duty is one of the college kids and they get asked for directions they send the guest to me.
We are talking about two different size hotels. Mine is not very big. The only hotel in this town than might offer those services is the Hilton until a new Holiday Inn Express is built. Beside in this town the only drink one can get is in a privite club. So if you want a drink at the bar at the Hilton you have to join the private club.

My guess is that your hotel also offers a lot more reasonable prices than the Hilton down the road and/or the Holiday Inn Express. I have done relatively few of the reasonably priced hotels because, not surprisingly, the fees are also low for the amount of time involved. And I must admit to a fair amount of dismay at the lack of 'value' in a $400 per night hotel room! While the establishment offers a whole lot of amenities, like a workout room, bars, restaurants, spas, valet, doormen to haul your bags, gift shops etc. most of these amenities are extra charges either billed or as tips.
