Parking rates (Dec 2022)
Yoonie L.

It was our last day in DC and the parking at our hotel was $59/day totaling up to $69 with the taxes. They had a reduced rate but only if we were out of the parking by 1pm. The problem was, we had planned to stay longer until about dinner time. We were looking at other parking garages that offered an early bird check in, but thankfully, my husband had asked one of his colleagues who is from the DC area and he had recommended parking at Ronald Reagan Building parking. The rates were really reasonable and for how long we stayed there, we paid $25, which was well below the hotel fees (plus we didn't have to walk all the way back up to the hotel) and even if we did, the rate would have maxed out to $35 (see attached pic for rates as of December 2022). The parking is secured. There are several security guards at the entrance and just so you know, your car will be searched before entering. The floors are named a certain place for you to easily remember where you are and they also have business-sized cards by the elevators that you can take with you to remember your floor and section that you parked. When you exit on the main floor, you will pass the security check area from the inside, but just know that you will have to go through the security check point to reenter the parking in the building. Loved that we had secured parking and the rates were so much lower than most parking garages in DC and it's 24 hours! Stay safe, Friends!

A ticket so you know where to find your car.

The Best Safest/Cheapest Parking Garage while in D.C What I like the Best is most of the Smithsonian Museums are within walking distance.

Easy access. Large. Close to the Mall and Museums. Easy elevator into building and food court. Expensive but that's a given.

Safe place to leave your vehicle while you're out and about. Kind staff and many parking spots. What's not to love?

Fast, secure, cool, safe, and dry. Elevators everywhere, just remember you go through security to get back in.

Is there almost always parking available? Heard it's a pain to find parking in dc, is that only if you're too cheap?

Would you recommend parking here if attending a play at Ford's Theater?

That would be my choice. Its a safe place to park. One block north and three blocks east you'll be at Ford's Theater. I would suggest you park on level B2 or B4 close to the blue elevator lobby. This will take you up to the Pennsylvania Ave. Lobby… Read more

I used the SpotHero app and paid $16.95 for about 10 hours of parking, which is fairly affordable…read moreprice for downtown DC for that kin on a weekday. The entrance is on Vermont Ave NW (on the right side) just off K Street NW. There are four levels of the garage, and each is numbered and color coded in case you forget the color you may remember the number or vice versa. You park yourself, and if you block someone in, you're asked to leave your keys with the staff member. They have electric vehicle chargers that you have to pay for by usage. I'd definitely park here again.

Every time I park in this garage, the attendant that takes my car makes the same joke. It goes a…read morelittle something like this: Me: Hey there. Do I need to pay now, or pay later? Attendant: You can pay now AND later. Mwhahahaaaa! And that's it. That's the joke. That's the lame joke I've heard three times. Who knows how many times this joke has been told. I challenge you to be told this joke again. This parking garage location (#94) actually has it's entrance located on Vermont Avenue, directly across from Josephine and adjacent to The Corner Bakery. While the location is convenient, the prices, payment and hours are not as much. First of all, you must have cash, They do not accept credit cards. Also, just a little over two hours parked here ran me $16. Additionally, the garage closes at 10pm so if you stay past that time, you will have to relocate on the torturous to find street parking around the neighborhood. Good news is, no new scratches on my car so they must have taken care of it enough to warrant an A-OK from me.

Downtown

You'd think that the logistics of operating a parking garage would be pretty well solved by now…read more There aren't a lot of moving parts. Cars come in. Cars go out. Some people pay daily, others have an account. The trick to a functioning parking garage is preventing bottlenecks. People who pay monthly don't want to wait in line behind people who pay daily. That's kinda why we pay monthly. Franklin Court Penn Parking hasn't really figured this out. Most big DC parking garages just make you pay the daily flat rate when you come in, and there's no gate to leave. Monthly people just drive around the line of daily parkers. For some reason, even though it's a flat rate for 99% of the people parking here, they want you to take a ticket and pay on the way out. But there's only one exit. And even though I can pay for a cup of coffee at starbucks in 3 seconds, for some reason, these guys seem to have a 1990's style credit card processing system that takes about 3 minutes to check out each person. And the fact that the lady who works here at night (who appears to never go on vacation) loves to chat up her friends when they check out each day doesn't speed things up much either. There's actually enough space for two lanes to exit, but one is blocked for some unknown reason. So the result is, if you leave between 5 and 6 PM, you wait. And wait. I've waited 10 minutes to get out of the garage, which is an awesome add-on to my 30 minute commute. There are other things that are annoying about this garage too. It seems to be used by some HVAC contractors who have a fleet of extra-long trucks that stick halfway into the aisle, causing near collisions as people try to navigate through the spaces barely big enough for a car. There are speed bumps every 50 feet, which I am sure are slowly eating away at my suspension, and caused me to scrape my car-top storage container once, even though it was well under the entry height limit. The elevator bank that gets you in and out is fascinating in its inefficiency. There are 3 elevators serving 4 levels of parking ONLY (they don't also go up to the office levels), and there aren't usually people waiting for one, yet it invariably takes 60-90 seconds for an elevator to come when I go to my car. What are they all doing? Why doesn't the software send an unused elevator back to the lobby so every single person doesn't have to wait every single time? All this adds up to an extraordinarily un-streamlined process of getting to your car. My commute would be 25 minutes if I could just drive out of the garage like I have at almost every other place in DC I've parked. Instead, it's 35-40. So why do I park here? Well, my employer subsidizes the rate so I save a hundred bucks a month. I am seriously considering foregoing the benefit to park somewhere else. Why don't they get 1 star? The parking spaces themselves are pretty decent. I've been in garages with awful pole configurations and tiny spots. Most of the spaces here are manageable. But that's little consolation.
