This may be a stupid question, but I want to know if it is ok (or totally unacceptable) to ask a hotel staff to help me make an outcall booking.
Due to compliance laws that went into effect last April, it has become a crime for companies to do business or seek services from any other firm with connections to organized crime. As a result, the concierge at an upscale hotel is not as helpful as he used to be. No harm in asking, though. But I would plan your own alternate arrangements just in case things don't work.
