The Bethesdan Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
"The parking facility is very narrow and challenging and for that inconvenience you pay $40 for 8-24 hours. There is no 24 hours pass where you can get in and out without paying for every moment of parking at the facility. They need to improve that part"
