Two simultaneous hotel bookings.
[QUOTE=Dickaprio;2188689]Beg to differ with you! Hotel staff may take copy of one's passport as part of check-in process, but they don't take (or keep) the passport.[/QUOTE]This is correct as for my experience not in PHi but in Costa Rica. First night stayed in the SJ gulch area, cheap monger abode. For the next 5 nights I booked a more upscale room several easy walking blocks away (not GF) and kept the first room for girl action. In cheap room kept only condoms and girly gifts. No problems of any kind for having two rooms at the same time. I actually enjoyed it for a good nights sleep, comfy bed, quiet hotel, and improved ambience. Copies of ID's were all that front desk needed.
