For the most part, I really don't like it. But I think it has one important use case...at large medical facilities/hospitals it's very useful for an old person to be able to just walk up to the door as opposed to first being confused at where to go and next walking 3 miles from the garage to where they need to be. Everyone here pooh-poohing on valet needs to understand that cases like this are incredibly important and helpful.
Yeah my friend was talking about that, like an old person and their spouse arrive, the spouse needs assistance but the car also needs parked and not 1/2 mile away like is often the case with big parking garage systems. So the valet can park the car while the driver assists their spouse. But of course the hospital charges for the valet parking, and worse a big chunk of the limited spaces that were available are now valet only.
