Default C280 Air Conditioner Refrigerant

Hello! Need to ask for some help here. My air conditioner has not been working too well lately. It gets cool, but only after about 30-60 minutes. So I probably need to add some refrigerant to the car. I looked in my car manual and it states that I need to use R134a refrigerant, but it doesn't tell me where to put it in my car. I asked a few people about this, and some tell me that I have to bring the car to the dealer to get it serviced, and some others state I can do it myself and that I should be able to find a hose with two valves on it and to put it in there. I see a valve on a silver hardhose that is to the left of my window washer fluid container, but there is only one valve there. It looks like the right spot, but I am not sure. I hate to put the refrigerant in there if it is wrong, or even if I shouldn't fill the fluid in myself because there may be other items that need service first as part of the procedure. Any ideas/suggestions on how I should handle this would be appreciated. Thanks.
