I can understand how you dont want about to access your vehicle, however in many cases valet parking is the only option due to limited space and the need for effective management of the limited parking available. Valets are generally trained to maximize all available spaces for parking where as most of us arent. Hotels are forced to offer only valet parking and just dont have a choice.

So you stiff the valet attendant that has no control over a hotel's set up or policies?
