I agree that GG5's "hotel-style [an overnight] brothel" is a bit off the mark. As the Wiki article says, the booking are more Internet and less phone these days. Keeping it general.

the whole point is that there is no "storefront", a fact both wikipedia and chiebukuro state up front, which makes Gg5's glosses mostly wrong
