A city centre hotel which had been due to fight a child sexual exploitation order in court will no longer oppose the decision, police have confirmed.
The Britannia Hotel, in St James' Street, off Maid Marian Way, was served with the order back in February after Nottinghamshire Police said officers were called frequently called to the venue.
The order meant that all guests arriving at the hotel must provide photo ID including names and addresses so police can determine who is staying there.
Detective Chief Inspector Pete Quinn, child protection lead at Nottinghamshire Police, said the hotel featured "on a number of child exploitation investigations."
He said the hotel was discussed as "a possible venue" in online grooming cases, and that children reported missing had turned up there.
It was the first time Nottinghamshire Police had issued a Child Sexual Exploitation warning notice, under Section 116 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act.
It was served stating police reasonably believe that the hotel/establishment "has been or will be used for the purposes of child exploitation or conduct that is preparatory or otherwise connected with child sexual exploitation".
The order will in place for six months, until the end of July.
Britannia bosses were set to appeal the notice at Nottingham Magistrates Court in April, but the police said that appeal has now been dropped and the hotel is complying wit the order.
DCI Quinn told Nottinghamshire Live: "They have withdrawn that appeal. They are working with us to comply with the conditions of that order.
"We will review our position in July in what our next step will be - a renewal of that order or it will expire and leave it at that.
"They are working with us but it is too early for us to say what we will do next. We work with the industry, not against them."
However, DCI Quinn said if they can't work with venues to keep children safe, then police "will make them under this order".
Police visited the hotel at last weekend (May 25-26) to make sure guests were being checked in properly, in accordance with the order. The operation was deemed "a success".
DCI Quinn added: "This is a preventative measure and reduces the risk to children and young people. It is not about punishing the hotel.
"We are asking the hotel to adopt a process of only allowing guests to book rooms once they have given identification, such as photo ID, and that information about guests is available when we ask for it.
"We don't want hotels to be used to exploit kids so the more unattractive we can make the city for perpetrators, the safer the children of Nottinghamshire.
"It is not designed to catch criminals. It is to prevent them using our hotels to commit offences against children and young people."
The Britannia Hotel has been contacted for a comment.
