I agree with ferrar and, respectfully, I disagree with Darkseraphim.
After reading M2Sexy's reports of his adventures, I was astonished that he would even consider leaving a secure hotel and moving to an apartment. I'm glad that M2Sexy escaped unharmed from the violent escort but he shouldn't forget so readily how lucky he was to do so.
I've travelled extensively in Latin America and I prefer to stay in very good, highly secure hotels. I've travelled with male companions and registered them as guests, as well as had other young men 21+ visit me in my room. I'm openly gay but I behave discreetly in public. As ferrar has stated, no reputable hotel in Brazil or, in my experience, Argentina would allow flagrant behaviour by gay male or heterosexual guests.
I feel the hotel manager was being quite reasonable. The fee suggested is very little. Personally, I hope that M2Sexy rewarded the security people, the reception staff and the hotel manager with cash tips of at least 50,000COP (as it's equivalent to only US $17 each)
