10/10 Excellent
"THE CLEANEST hotel I have ever stayed at. This was such a great hotel. We stated during heatwave in DC and this hotel was so great. Had a coffee shop/restaurant/bar everything was right there. The staff were so friendly and when our flight was delayed we were able to stay in the hotel until 3pm (for a little fee). We were blown away at the hotel for how little we paid. Will definitely stay here again if we are ever in DC again"

This season is ideal for visitors who enjoy spending time outdoors exploring the city's many memorials, monuments, and parks on foot. The warmer, but not yet hot, weather makes walking between attractions very pleasant.

Autumn also offers pleasant weather, with cooler temperatures and colourful foliage, making it another excellent time for sightseeing without the intense summer heat or humidity. This period is great for those who prefer a more relaxed pace and fewer crowds than the peak cherry blossom season.
