Shuttle service every 20 minutes on the hour from 5am until 11pm. It takes approx 15 minutes from the time the shuttle leaves parking lot until you arrive at the airport. Upon return shuttles pick up outside of the baggage claim at the airport near the shuttle sign.
What our customers say about Crystal Gateway Marriott

I didn't know it could be this easy and inexpensive to park in Crystal City. The Crystal Gateway is very close to DCA and provides both a hotel shuttle and easy access to the metro system. If you are spending the night in Crystal City the metro gives you access to all the great DC tourist spots and dining.
The parking is underground and the spaces are tight but that is the case in all the parking garages in the area. I found a single space with a column on each side of the car that protected my SUV from other cars. I parked for 17 days.
The Marriott shuttle departs every 30 minutes during DCA airport hours. The shuttle drops off at arrivals. Upon return from your trip sign for Hotel Shuttle pickups is clearly marked outside of baggage claim.
Getting my car out was easy and the valet knew exactly how to handle my voucher. Took less than a minute to validate and get my exit card.

User friendly in setting up the parking. Excellent facility to use. Easy to get in and out. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Shuttle always on time. Used this hotel at least 20 times over the last 2 years for parking.

My only complaint would be the wait for the shuttle. It has taken me 45 mins to get one on several occasions.

The hotel needs more shuttles during busy airport times.

This was my third time using this service. So easy and convenient! But mostly, the price is right!! Drivers are super courteous and helpful with baggage too. I will use this hotel lot every time I travel as long as it is available.

Cheap Airport Parking is the best site for all of your airport parking needs. Their actual prices are exactly as their advertised prices because the site doesn't add miscellaneous fees to increase the per day price for parking. This is the only site that I use for all of my airport parking needs.
The Crystal Gateway Marriott's parking garage and shuttle service is outstanding. The drivers are very friendly and provide first class service. I always tip more than double the standard gratuity because I saw so many people not even say "thank you" or provide a tip for the drivers.

Location, price, safe environment and access to airport made this parking choice an excellent decision. We have used this facility previously and will do so in the future.

The wait for the shuttle would have been less frustrating had there been a way to know when to expect the next shuttle.

The parking attendant wanted to charge me more because I was exiting the facility earlier than the end time on the reservation.
Other than that the parking experience was great.

Everything is great; prices are good too.

We have parked at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in the past, and likely will do it again. I generally end up dropping my husband off at the airport with the bags at around 5am, dropping the car off, and then taking a taxi to the airport (<$20), but we get garage parking and the shuttle to the hotel from the airport at a good price. The parking lot it tight and, in some places dimly lit - but we've not had any problem with security or finding a space.

Shuttle wait times are long. Ended up just hopping on the Metro which was much more convenient.

We didn't get to use the shuttle to get to DCA because it was a 15 min wait (as one had just left 5 min ago) and we didn't want to wait that long. So we had to take a cab but were fortunate to split it with a hotel guest also going to the airport.
On the way back from the airport, the shuttle was not operating since it was after 11pm so we had to take a cab to the hotel - a $14 cab ride (not including tip) for going less than 2 miles!! I wouldn't recommend parking here if you are coming back after 11pm.

Overall great experience. Reading other parkers reviews helped me to know to enter the garage on EADS St. The signage inside the garage left a bit to be desired. Will definitely park here again.

Getting around inside the parking lot can be difficult. More signs would be helpful.

Great location, good pricing. Free shuttle. Very satisfied and will continue to use. Can't wait for you to expand to more cities.

There were three problems: first, there are two marriotts that are basically in the same building, and it's unclear which one is the place. and the name of the hotel isn't "marriott dca" as appears on the slip. and the entrance is no where near the address you give. all of this added up to it being confusing to figure out where to go. once there, everything was fine.

Again a little hard to find/get to for first-timers. Shuttle drivers confused as to which Marriot we actually were parked at. Overall a good experience worth repeating.

First of all, I will say this is a really great option for parking at DCA. The location is good and right off the highway. I'm glad I read one review which pointed out the exact address of the hotel/parking (which is 1800 Eads St NOT 1700 Jefferson Davis Hwy) or as a newcomer to the area, I would have been completely lost. The parking area is VERY tight. I have a large SUV and it is a bit difficult to maneuver through the garage. The cost is excellent ($8 per day). I would give more stars, however, the shuttle service is TERRIBLY slow! They say the shuttles (a van) come around every 15 minutes but that has yet to happen. After waiting at the hotel to go to the airport, for 20 minutes, I ended up sharing a cab with another person who was also waiting, totaling $12 ($6 apiece). Waiting at the airport for the shuttle to return me to the hotel was another 20 minutes and again, I opted to share a cab. Also, the shuttle does not leave the Crystal City Gateway and take you directly to the airport. There are two additional stops at other Marriott hotels. Also, on the way back from the airport, since the Gateway is the final destination, all other Marriott patrons are dropped off first. All in all, if you have time to wait, indefinitely, for the shuttle, you will have no problem with this facility. I will definitely use this facility again, realizing I may have to pay for a cab instead of using the free, shuttle service.

No complaints. Did the transaction in the car on the way to the DCA parking garage. Upon return to the garage after our trip, I had no printout, but showed the attendent my confirmation email on my phone and was good to go.

One suggestion I want to give you guys. In the confirmation page you should give your real physical address from where we have to enter into the parking i.e 1800 South Eads st, In confirmation something else was printed and I was looking for the address for around half hours.
