Facility Overview
The parking facility for Homewood Suites by Hilton Washington DC Capitol-Navy Yard is a secured, covered valet garage located at 50 M St SE, Washington, DC 20003. Situated in the vibrant Navy Yard district, this facility operates as a dedicated valet service. Due to its nature as an indoor hotel-affiliated garage, it features a vertical clearance limit of 6 feet 2 inches, making it suitable for standard passenger vehicles and most mid-size SUVs. Large pickup trucks, high-roof vans, or vehicles equipped with roof racks may exceed this height clearance and should verify compatibility before arrival.

- Height Restrictions: Strictly observe the 6'2" clearance. If you are driving a modified vehicle or a full-size van, seek alternative open-air surface lots in the surrounding blocks.
- Event Pricing: Be aware that parking rates in the Navy Yard fluctuate significantly based on demand; check event schedules to anticipate potential price surges.
- Arrival Timing: For stadium events, aim to arrive at least 60–90 minutes prior to the start time to navigate through localized road closures and heavy pedestrian traffic.
