Facility Overview
The valet service for the Residence Inn Washington, DC National Capitol is a professional, guest-centric parking solution located at 1233 1st St SE, nestled in the vibrant Capitol Riverfront district. As a valet-operated facility, guests are relieved of the stress of navigating tight garage corners or searching for stalls. The service is primarily designed for passenger vehicles, sedans, and standard SUVs. Please note that due to the urban nature of the facility and height restrictions common in downtown DC parking structures, oversized vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, or lifted trucks may be subject to availability or restricted; we recommend contacting the hotel directly if you are driving a non-standard vehicle.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth arrival, we highly recommend arriving at least 60 minutes before the start of any major event at Nationals Park, as local road closures and heavy event traffic can cause significant delays. If you are not a hotel guest, be aware that space may be limited; consider booking your accommodation or parking arrangement well in advance. Keep your phone handy for mobile GPS navigation, as some side streets near the stadium may be restricted to residents or event traffic on game days.
