I am sometimes out on the road and have to call in to meetings or the office. I have a cell phone and can use it from the car or a coffee shop. However, this is sometimes not ideal because of the noise or the wireless connection or how hot my car gets.

Are there any places that have comfortable chairs, quiet, and preferably have "hard line" phones that are conducive to this? Only place that I can think of are the airport frequent flyer lounges, but, of course, those are at the airport. Thanks.

Hotel conference room (the small room that has a rectangular table for about 10-12 people). Most hotel front desk personnel will let you in there for a short time at no charge. Been there and done that. Or you can use their computer/public office area if it's slow. Regardless, give them a tip. They work hard and deserve it.

Lots of Kinkos (Excuse me, FedEx Office) locations have a conference room you can rent by the hour.

Schedule an appointment to look at a vacant house for sale and unlock a side door whlie the realtor isn't looking, then go back later to make your call.

You're posting in the business section. You're basically stating you have a need and it's not being fulfilled out there. Business idea perhaps?

Business call in an adult video store? So many things can go wrong there... but it was a funny suggestion.
