When is the best time to go to Sunshine?

The best time to visit Sunshine, Tennessee, is during the spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and comfortable for outdoor activities. During spring, the average daily temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C. This is a lovely time to explore the natural beauty of the region, as wildflowers are in bloom, and the landscapes are lush and green. It's ideal for those who enjoy hiking and exploring the numerous trails in the surrounding state parks. Autumn brings mild temperatures, typically between 10°C and 20°C, and spectacular displays of fall foliage. The changing colours of the leaves across the Tennessee hillsides are a major draw for visitors. This season is great for scenic drives and enjoying the cooler, crisp air. While summer (June to August) offers warm weather, with temperatures often reaching 30°C or higher, it can also be quite humid. Winter (November to March) is generally mild but can have occasional cold snaps and some snowfall, which might limit certain outdoor pursuits.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our ‘Fully refundable property’ filter during your search to find the right Sunshine hotel for you.

Drury Plaza Hotel Chattanooga Hamilton Place

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding Stay – Exceptional Cleanliness & Top-Tier Hospitality! Rating: 5/5 stars Property: Drury Plaza Hotel Chattanooga Hamilton Place We had a fantastic stay at the Drury Plaza Hotel in Chattanooga! From the moment we walked through the doors, it was clear how well-maintained this property is—the entire hotel was spotless, well-lit, and incredibly welcoming. Highlights of Our Stay: * Rooms & Property: Our room was immaculately clean, quiet, and comfortable, with fresh linens and a perfectly maintained layout. The rest of the common areas were just as spotless. * Pool area & Hot Tub: The hot tub was fantastic! It was clean, warm, and the perfect place to unwind after a long day of driving and exploring the area. * Breakfast & Evening Kickback: The hot breakfast in the morning was fantastic—great variety, fresh options, and plenty of space to enjoy a meal. The evening happy hour (5:30 Kickback®) was equally great with delicious complimentary food and drinks. * Exceptional Service: A massive shoutout to the amazing employee assisting with the evening happy hour on Thursday night! She was exceptionally warm, attentive, hard-working, and went above and beyond to make sure every guest had a wonderful experience. That level of genuine hospitality truly set this stay apart. If you’re visiting Chattanooga, this hotel is a gem. We will definitely be back on our next trip through the area!"
