Well, if he did want to do short time, he should offer to go to your hotel.

I trust you recovered the off fee, since the short time room was not available ?

At that point, I'm surprised the mamasan didn't suggest going to your hotel, in order to make sure the off fee was still paid.
Anyway, if there is the slightest hesitation, it's best to go after other fish, in my experience.
