Wait... the soldier, or the act of kindness??!!!

Now here's a twist on this subject matter... what do you guys do when the hotel staff knows that you are staying by yourself, but see you bringing up a local boy(s) to your room? Some FD staff have given me a confused look, others have done the "double take". More so in Poland and Austria, than in Germany or the Czech Republic.
