I was in Hoi An 2 weekends ago - cool, cloudy, but no rain as I recall. Where to stay depends on what you like in the way of accomodations. What to do, I have generally walked around the town, visited some of the old buildings and museums. If you are into cooking there are numerous cooking classes - no doubt there are visits to islands, other activities - do a bit of internet searching. I am in Dong Hoi right now (just a bit further north) and it is cold, so Hoi An is probably pretty "brisk" these days as well. I would wait a bit, unless you don't mind cold weather and wearing heavy clothing. If you have to schedule well in advance, March or April are probably a good bet - but check on when the rains are.
