When is the best time to go to Washington?

The best time to go to Washington is during the spring (April to May) and fall (September to October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Spring brings blooming flowers, especially the famous cherry blossoms, making it a beautiful time to visit monuments and enjoy outdoor activities. The temperatures are mild, typically ranging from the 50s to 70s Fahrenheit, which is comfortable for exploring on foot. This period is ideal for couples looking for a romantic trip with scenic walks and outdoor dining. Fall offers crisp air, colorful foliage, and comfortable temperatures, usually in the 50s and 60s Fahrenheit. The summer crowds have thinned out, making it easier to visit museums and attractions without long waits.

Kahler Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great if you’re visiting Mayo"

Centerstone Plaza Hotel Soldiers Field - Mayo Clinic Area

10/10 Excellent

"The staff absolutely makes this place what it is. The front desk is absolutely amazing and go out of their way to help everyone. The shuttle drivers are phenomenal and efficient with quick rides to the hospital. The attached restaurant Twigs has amazing food and also fantastic staff. The property could use some updating but overall this is a great place to stay."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Rochester-Mayo Clinic/St Marys

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was amazing! Food was hot and plentiful. The variety was great! Love the location. Staff are so friendly and helpful. The only issue is parking, especially for handicapped spots. I do understand though as it is located in a congested busy area. I am willing to work around the parking as we enjoyed everything else about this hotel."

Kahler Inn and Suites - Mayo Clinic Area

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was very good with a lot of options. The parking is convenient, although the immediate roads are under construction so you have to deal with lane closures and detours, but at least you can still utilize their parking lot. The thing I was mostly disappointed with was the dirty carpet that turned my socks and feet black. I would hope that the rooms are on a reasonable rotating schedule to clean the carpets, if they’re not, they should be."
