I’m Rura, formerly a male member of UC and now a member of the new salon.
Regardless of the dating type, I always make a reservation in advance for dinner.
As for hotels, I often use Rakuten Travel. I would pull up a reservation for a city hotel near the restaurant—one showing availability that day—and proceed to the final step on my phone. If she agreed to continue seeing me after dinner, all I had to do was tap “Confirm.”
Of course, the room might be gone by then. But in busy areas like Tokyo, Roppongi, or Ginza, there’s usually some nearby city hotel with same-day availability, so I’d wait to confirm her wishes before making the reservation quickly.
Hope this helps.

I’m date◎yume, a male member.
Regardless of the dating type, I always make the first meeting dinner only.
I’ve never booked a hotel.
We talk about various things and feel each other out to see whether we can take things to the next stage.
It’s about enjoying the process of figuring each other out.

I’d say about half of people make a reservation for the meal. However, if the place is crowded and you can’t get in, it can really put a damper on things, so it’s safer to book ahead.
That said, last-minute cancellations do happen occasionally, so you need to be flexible enough to invite someone else to dinner even if you get stood up.
On rare occasions, a staff member may be called in at the last minute as a replacement and join you for dinner.
As for the hotel, I don’t think you should make a reservation. With Dating Type C, the probability is 50%.
That means the hotel fee would be wasted one time out of two.
Just to be clear, regardless of whether you have a reservation, the club’s rule is that things must start with a meal.

I’m Basil, a male member.
I always make a reservation for the first dinner, regardless of the relationship type. I ask about my partner’s preferences when arranging the date.
For Type C, I reserve a room at a city hotel about 30–40% of the time. I’ll make a reservation in advance on rainy days or when it’s likely to be difficult to walk into a love hotel, depending on the time and location.
Personally, although cost is also a factor, I prefer love hotels because they have larger bathrooms. No one has ever told me they dislike love hotels, either.
If it’s a clean love hotel with a relatively spacious room, I feel that women come prepared for it, so they don’t seem particularly uncomfortable.

I’m in my 30s and new here.
I think making a dinner reservation is essential, and you should also be considerate when choosing the restaurant. Since the rule is to give her the transportation allowance before the meal, and some women may not feel comfortable being seen by others, I choose a private room or somewhere similar.
When it comes to hotels, I feel the same way as the gentleman known as “Papa-Katsu Gentleman.”
