With no texting and driving being posted on the highway.... and crack down on cell while driving it doesn't look suspicious anymore to be in a parking lot using a phone or texting
Due to the fact that I live in the middle of no where, I am generally an hour from any appointment that I schedule. To not be late, I have to account for traffic afterall this is the DC Metro area. Then if there is no traffic, I often arrive early.
Sometimes, I just find a near by parking lot and chill, sometimes I contact the lady and let her know I am in the area, if she is ready early; however, if she isn't then she feels rushed.
Any advice on what to do when you arrive early?
I have had clients arrive early before and they will let me know just in case I am ready for them earlier then planned. It has never been an issue.
I would say hang out discreetly somewhere close by I till it is time to be at the hotel. If you are in a city, go grab coffee, or a tea, a smoothie or a Cronut. Whatever suits your fancy.
I just always advise my clients to not come inside the hotel until it is time and I have given them the okay and directions to the elevators. 
Good advice. Gotta ask, whats a cronut? 
Just ask, I am generally early and I usually let them know that they can come up early if they wish.
You can sit in your car texting on your phone and nobody will think twice about it. 7-11 for a snack, fill up with fuel, shopping center. Any place but the lobby. Unless you know the hotel very well. Some of the DC hotels are so large you can find a place to chill out where nobody will bother you.

If it's phrased appropriately ("I allow a comfortable buffer for travel time, and if things go well, I might be a little early. Shall I just text you when I arrive?"), then I think you might be golden. If you just randomly text her 30 minutes before your scheduled time to say "Here I am!", then you will probably not get a favorable response.
Be aware that she may tell you not to expect to be allowed in early -- maybe she has another date, or she's sleeping in, or she's meeting someone for brunch. There could be any number of reasons, and you might not even get one -- she might just say, "No, honey, just text me five minutes before our appointment time for the room number".
'cmon. you're not a rookie. You needed him to tell u that?LOL. Most of my regulars know that I am punctual if not early. Often times I'll get the ok and room before I actually arrive. But I do give updates along the way. It just depends on your rapport with the provider.
I need to have more regulars.
