I created a bit of a stir just now but manager says this is a valet only charging lot FYI. Leave keys with valet and they provide 1 hour free parking while charging but self parking and charging is not allowed. Just a touch and go for me tonight.

That sounds ridiculous!!
I will be heading there in 30min for a short charge. I will report back.
The valet manager was extremely confrontational which caught me off guard. I was reading up thread that this station was going to be completely open to the public so I didn't stop to look at the cones lined up nor was the pin up on my nav map to let me know it was valet only. He demanded that I leave if car was not valeted (I actually forgot my keycard at home) so I kindly obliged. It was my first interaction with this hotel and obviously not a very welcoming one.

I am here. Valet only. This is Day 1 and I'm sure that this policy will get old for everyone soon. I can't believe that Tesla agreed to these idiotic policy with the Marina del Rey Hotel. There will be a ton of confused Tesla drivers that will be very angry when they encounter this nonsense.
There are other valet-only locations around the US - most commonly in New York City, but also Los Angeles - Francisco St. It could go one of two ways: the hotel thinks this arrangement drives more dining traffic due to people not being able to hang out in their cars, or they think it's a hassle and end up letting Tesla drivers self-park.
I read that but just wanted to make sure. It’s such a weird thing for them to want to park it for us for free. I’m going to go in the middle of the night and see what they say. And will text the manager tmrw to tell him this set up is alienating us from the hotel.

I told the 4 valet attendants to expect a lot of confused and some angry Tesla owners in the next few days. People want to stay in their cars when they charge and leave right away. This is going to be a huge hassle for them once this Marina del Rey Supercharger shows up on the car's map with lots more people encountering this policy.
