DC Parking for Conversion Van
We are leaving on Saturday to stay at the Hotel Harrington. I just went
over the paperwork again and realized that they use an underground garage, which our high top conversion van will not fit in. Can anyone advise if there is any open parking in the Harrington area? We probably will not be moving the vehicle for the week we are there. Thanks Momma |

There is no open parking in the direct Harrington Area, and long term parking in DC is quite expensive. And alas a great deal of it is underground. I take metro in every day, so I don't know much, but I do know there is some rather expensive parking in the city at Union Station. But I'd also suggest considering parking in the suburbs near a metro station. You cannot park a week in the metro lots themselves, but several stations have adjacent lots where long term parking is possible. What direction will you be driving from? I'd suggest you drop off everything at the Harrington, then head out to park the car, then return via metro. Julie -- Julie ********** I could be wrong. My experience is limited to my experience.

I just called the hotel and they think that Union Station parking is 20 a day. I can swing that. They also told me it is about a mile away. Does that sound right? Thanks Momma |

Are you basing your evaluation of this hotel based on it's condition twenty five years ago? Seems a tad incorrect! -- Julie ********** I could be wrong. My experience is limited to my experience.

I'm not worried much. I read the reviews, I looked at the pictures... the biggest thing for us was not having to take 2 rooms for 5 of us. I am a camper. This will seem luxurious. Sorry you have such bad memories. Momma |

Momma I think it depends on your expectations. I have stayed at the Harrington on a number of occasions and its true the place is old and shabby. However its clean, in a great location and is cheap and I always found the staff helpful.

Accomodation in downtown DC can run $200 a night per room and up, even worse during tourist season. -- Julie ********** I could be wrong. My experience is limited to my experience.
