Facility Overview
One Metro Center Parking is a premium, professionally managed valet garage located at 701 13th St NW, Washington, DC. Situated in the heart of the East End/Penn Quarter submarket, this facility provides a secure and highly convenient parking solution for those visiting downtown Washington. The garage is entirely covered, ensuring your vehicle remains protected from the elements. Please note that this facility has a strict vertical clearance limit of 6 feet 8 inches. It is specifically designed for standard passenger vehicles; consequently, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, minivans, and high-roof passenger vans cannot be accommodated due to the facility's specific size and layout constraints.
