Visitor & Driver Tips
For the smoothest experience, please keep the following tips in mind: Given the high demand in the Pentagon City area, we strongly recommend that guests plan for the daily valet rate (currently $67.00 per day). If you are driving an oversized vehicle, please notify the hotel in advance to confirm clearance and associated fees. Avoid reliance on street parking, as it is strictly regulated and heavily monitored. For event-goers, arrival at least 30-45 minutes early is advised during peak holiday seasons or major local events to account for neighborhood traffic.
