Facility Overview

Situated along the bustling Route 18 commercial corridor in Beaver County, 1438 Brodhead Road Parking serves as the primary open-air surface parking facility for Fairfield Inn & Suites Monaca and visiting patrons. Positioned in the heart of Center Township/Monaca, the lot offers a wide, level asphalt layout that wraps conveniently around the property. Because this is a spacious outdoor surface facility rather than an enclosed parking garage, there are no low overhead clearance beams or vertical height restrictions. Drivers of full-size pickup trucks, large passenger and commercial vans, extended SUVs, contractor work trucks, and oversized passenger vehicles can navigate and park with complete confidence and ease.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching the facility via I-376, monitor your speed along Brodhead Road as the commercial corridor features frequent signalized intersections and shopping plaza curb cuts. Ensure you park squarely between the white stall lines to allow ample door clearance for neighboring vehicles, particularly on high-occupancy weekends. If you are arriving with an oversized trailer, utility equipment, or a passenger coach, check in with on-site management upon arrival to confirm approved placement along the wider rear or perimeter bays. During winter storm advisories, take extra caution around entry ramps and allow maintenance crews space to clear driving lanes efficiently.
