Carr Workplaces The Willard - Coworking & Office Space — Local services in Washington

I had the opportunity to work with John Garon on a project, and while I appreciated the initial collaboration, I encountered some significant challenges with the payment process that I feel compelled to share.

The payment system that John Garon's organization uses requires contractors to register with a third-party company in order to receive compensation. Unfortunately, I experienced technical difficulties during the sign-up process and was unable to complete my registration despite multiple attempts. This created substantial delays in receiving payment for the work I had completed.

I reached out to John Garon multiple times via both email and voicemail to address this issue and seek assistance with resolving the payment delays. Regrettably, John did not respond to any of my communications, which left me without guidance on how to proceed or alternative solutions for receiving payment.

While I understand that payment processing can sometimes involve complex systems, the lack of communication from John Garon made it particularly challenging to resolve these issues in a timely manner. I believe that maintaining open lines of communication, especially regarding payment matters, is crucial for successful professional relationships.

I hope that John Garon will consider improving the responsiveness to contractor inquiries in the future, as this would greatly enhance the working experience for others who may...

Great day office experience. I needed an office for an afternoon to do 2 video conferences while I was in DC. I could not get the online reservation link to work, so I made a reservation by calling and the staff, and they were extremely friendly. I received an immediate email confirmation chin and an email with a link to pay link to pay that was very efficient. The whole process took no more than 5 minutes on the phone. Even though closing time is at 5:00 o'clock they let me carry my reservation over to 5:30.

The office is just a couple of blocks from the metro center metro stop, an easy walk. Upon arriving, I was greeted warmly and immediately shown to the office despite being 30 minutes early. The office was expectedly spartan, but more than functional with a very comfortable chair and large desk. The desk had an outlet with 2 plugs, and there were also 2 guest chairs that I did not use. Lighting was a little strange for a video call but but with the addition of a small additional light that I carry with me it was more than a workable.

There is a large break area with coffee and tea that was extremely nice. One of the nicest I have seen in my travels.

I would certainly return and also recommend Carr Workplaces to...

I have had my law office in the Willard Office Space for more than ten years, first as a full office when I was the Washington office of a Philadelphia firm and then, when I left that firm, in a "virtual" office of my own. I have been very happy with both arrangements. The location is superb and the facilities are fine for their purposes. But best of all is the service provided by the Carr Workplaces staff. Everyone I have dealt with has been highly professional, courteous, responsible and friendly. They have always been responsive to my clients and others who call or visit me and cheerfully ready to help me with anything I need done. I think the fees Carr charges are reasonable, in particular for the "virtual" arrangement, especially since the District of Columbia is such a hot real...
