Workplace Fail: HanaHaus

HanaHaus is not for the rest of us. It is aimed at a certain demographic, and everyone else be damned.

I had an afternoon of down time between meetings in SF and Cupertino. Needed a place to hunker down and work for 4 hours. Made a reservation at HanaHaus on recommendation of a friend on the Stanford faculty.

The WiFi was miserable, the environment was so loud I could not hear on a conference call, and I had to move my car every 90 minutes because HanaHaus is conveniently located in a district with maximum 2 hour parking.

So I guess I’m not their demographic.
