About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated just off the major transit crossroads of Central Pennsylvania, 1 Hampton Court Parking serves guests, business travelers, and regional visitors at the Residence Inn by Marriott Harrisburg Carlisle. Set on a dedicated commercial court adjacent to Harrisburg Pike (US-11), this facility operates as an expansive, open-air surface parking lot with well-paved lanes, marked stalls, and smooth turning radii designed for stress-free vehicle circulation.

Because the facility is configured entirely outdoors with no overhead ramps, low ceilings, or vertical height clearance bars, it provides unlimited open-sky clearance. As a result, this parking facility is fully suited to accommodate an extensive variety of vehicle types, ranging from compact economy cars and standard sedans to full-size pickup trucks (such as Ford F-Series and Chevy Silverados), lifted SUVs, commercial cargo vans, and passenger shuttles. The open layout also easily accommodates vehicles hauling trailers or car haulers traveling into the region for national automotive events.
