May is a very busy month and sometimes it is hard to find available hotel rooms. Of course the good deals of earlier months are no longer available and you are down to taking what you can get, unless of course you reserved early.  For B&B owners this is good news because many people that otherwise would never stay at a B&B end up taking a chance and once they stay at a B&B they normally become B&B lovers.
The Smithsonian Museums, Monuments, White House, Capitol all offer free Admission and free Tours…Come and enjoy them while you can.
The AmericanGuestHouse Bed and Breakfast is also offering a one free night stay when you stay at least 4 consecutive nights with us (discounts can not be combined with any other discounts found on our web site or any other site we are affiliated with and you must request discount at the time reservation is made otherwise discount will not be honored).  This offer applies to stays up until 02/28/07.

Tourist season in DC begins with the Cherry Blossom Festival in April. Consequently at many of the museums and especially around the Tidal Basin where the Cherry Blossoms are, crowds will be large. Summer is hot and humid, so if you visit then, be sure to plan most of your activities inside museums. Fall is another wonderful time to visit Washington, DC, as the crowds are gone, and the weather is pleasant. If you’d like to see the government in action, US citizens can call your senators or congressional representatives in advance to obtain tickets to view Congress in session. Click on the link for more… |
