About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking facility at Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Washington, DC/New York Avenue is a well-maintained, open-air surface lot located at 2305 New York Ave NE in Northeast Washington, D.C. Situated along one of the District\'s most critical entry thoroughfares, this facility offers open-sky parking without the clearance limitations typical of urban subterranean garages. Because it is an open surface lot, full-size SUVs, extended pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and commercial vehicles with roof attachments can park comfortably without the risk of height restriction hazards. The lot features clearly demarcated bays, dedicated ADA-compliant accessible spaces near the entrance, and wide driving aisles designed for smooth two-way circulation.
