About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated conveniently at 3 Eagle Rd in Danbury, Connecticut, the parking facility at 3 Eagle Road serves as the primary parking area for the Courtyard by Marriott Danbury. This expansive, open-air surface parking lot provides approximately 120 dedicated spaces laid out on asphalt with clear stall striping and generous drive aisles. Because it is a ground-level, outdoor surface lot with no overhead barriers or low ceilings, it provides unobstructed vertical clearance. This makes the facility exceptionally well-suited for standard sedans, compact crossovers, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and commercial high-roof vans that cannot easily access standard parking garages.

While parking is straightforward, spaces closest to building access points fill quickly on weekday evenings when business travel peaks.
