"During the day, the lobby of the Ace Hotel is mostly filled with people who have a few hours to kill before their next tech Meetup. The Stumptown outpost in here serves quality caffeine until 8pm, and the huge hotel lobby has lots of comfortable couches and armchairs. There’s also wifi and a good noise level, so you can have a meeting without whispering or screaming. Just be prepared to hear people casually drop “Silicon Alley” and “letter of intent” into conversation." - Matt Tervooren
