I wonder if I would have been startled or quick enough to come up with a funny response.
Thank you guys from the input.
Through a guest survey, the hotel manager sent me an email expressing his dismay that such a thing (offering an escort) could have taken place. He attributed the whole incident to a translation issue exactly like you described (requesting the company name on the invoice). I have no reason not to believe him but will take the whole shebang cum grano salis.
