I've had to take my father to stuff at Glengarry, and I agree totally with your assessment of the parking and the hotel ambience.
I actually woke up while my first procedure was still underway, somewhat to the surprise of the specialist. Little did he know I've got the pharmaceutical imperviousness of a bull elephant. I didn't mind, actually, as I was still quite floaty and not in any pain, and the view on the monitor was captivating, to say the least. To quote Grant, it was like watching the intro "down the tunnel" credits from Tom Baker era Doctor Who.
When I went back for round two, via the front door this time, they hammered my neurons good and proper and I didn't wake up until back in recovery, much to my relief - I don't think that would have been much of an experience to wake up in the middle of. And I agree, the suddenness of the pre- to post-op scene wipe is quite something.
