IANAP (I am not a prostitute :P), but...
I was not under the impression it was common for several clients to be booked during the one night.
I believe the girls would either use the hotel room for:
a) A place of work for regular specific bookings: it has the benefit of not being at a brothel/not at their home if they aren't comfortable with that, and it can become a familiar place and you'll be "reasonably" safer than going out to a clients house.
b) A way to work if you're in a different city/having another girl coming from another city.
Obviously, if you remember your freakonomics, there are levels to the prostitutions market. So there is the possibility of:
c) Its a place to drum up new business. I imagine places like hotels in Washington/Canberra where people are there on business, have money, and are away from their families, is, in the prostitution business, a place of relatively high demand. So the clients might have a room there that they're already paying for...
Now to be fair, this is at the relatively upper-end of the prostitution market.
Ironically, in the context of my other discussions in this thread, in this country at least, if there's a super low-end part of the prostitution market, i'd expect it to be operating out of illegal brothels...and probably out of unmarked houses out in the burbs...
