On the subject of valet parking, “Ultrabar” valets are the worst. They do not post the signs and use orange cones to block of all the spots on F between 9th and McCormick and Schmick’s and Cowgirl Creamery. When I contacted U Street parking and the club to let them know of the 20′ only rule, they said they cannot control their employees.
