About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking garage at 1151 24th St NW (commonly known as the 2300 M Street NW Garage and operated by Colonial Parking as Lot 944 / Lot 994) is a covered, multi-level underground parking deck located in Washington, D.C.’s distinguished West End neighborhood, right at the border of historic Georgetown. The garage serves commercial tenants of the 2300 M Street office complex as well as guests and patrons of The Westin Georgetown. Featuring an illuminated subterranean layout with wide driving lanes, clearly stenciled bay markings, and direct elevator connections to street level, the facility provides exceptional protection from outdoor weather conditions year-round.

Drivers should take careful note of vertical vehicle clearance limits, which are restricted to approximately 6 feet 1 inch (with select clearance sections up to 6 feet 5 inches). As such, the garage easily accommodates compact cars, sedans, sports wagons, small crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs. However, lifted pickup trucks, full-size extended SUVs equipped with roof boxes or bike racks, and high-roof commercial cargo or passenger vans exceed the clearance thresholds and cannot be accommodated within the garage.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The garage entrance is conveniently positioned on the east side of 24th Street NW, situated mid-block between M Street NW and L Street NW (directly across the street from Hope Cleaners and behind The Westin Georgetown). Accessing the facility is smooth from M Street NW, a major westbound one-way thoroughfare heading directly toward Georgetown, and from Pennsylvania Avenue NW, which funnels inbound traffic from downtown D.C. Exiting vehicles merge easily onto 24th Street NW, allowing drivers to quickly divert north toward Dupont Circle or south toward K Street NW and the highway corridors.

The Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station (serving the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) is located just 0.4 miles away (a straight 7-minute walk south down 23rd/24th Street). Numerous Metrobus lines (including routes 32, 33, and 36) and the DC Circulator operate along Pennsylvania Avenue and M Street NW. For vehicular commuters, immediate highway links include the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, the Whitehurst Freeway (US-29), and Interstate 66 via the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge, providing swift commutes to and from Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To maximize convenience when using this facility, drivers should keep the following tips in mind:

Operating Hours: The garage standard access hours run Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM; public drive-up access is closed on weekends. If you park late on a weekday, ensure your reservation terms cover after-hours retrieval or confirm access protocols with the attendant upon arrival.
Pre-Book Digitally: Take advantage of discounted daily commuter and early bird rates by reserving a space in advance via SpotHero or ParkMobile, which also guarantees your space during peak morning business hours.
Spot Selection: Park in any designated unreserved stall. Avoid spaces specifically marked "Reserved" for building or hotel executives to prevent ticketing or valet repositioning.
GPS Guidance: Set your navigation system directly to 1151 24th St NW rather than the 2300 M Street postal address, ensuring you arrive directly at the subterranean garage ramp on 24th Street.
