I wonder if the CEO realizes that this isn't the best place to get a good nights rest and some work done. Very loud music is pumped through the elevators, lobby, and stairwells. In addition... the valet parking is unusually slow.

Recently it took 45 minutes from the time I called for my car until the time my car was pulled out in front. Thirty minutes of that time I spent outside waiting. I even offered to walk across the street and retrieve the car myself. The parking is outsourced- this is not the first time I've waited an unusual amount of time. Perhaps the parking garage is some sort of labyrinth.

I don't mind the music... but the valet parking issue alone has caused me to switch my stays in future weeks so I'm at properties that cater better to business travelers... like The Fairfax. Its great for weekends though when I have no responsibilities and feel like staying in DC.
