Rep Ocean City wherever you go with this weatherproof sticker.
Ocean City has gotten very expensive, and all of us want value when we head out for a vacation. Here are some great ways to make your hotel budget go farther in Ocean City.
Even when you want to stay for a weekend, you might consider skewing your stay either a little earlier or later. For hotels, Sunday night through Thursday night are considered mid-week and have lower rates than Friday and Saturday nights. Arriving on Thursday and leaving Saturday is much cheaper than arriving Friday and leaving Sunday. If you can stay Sunday through Thursday and avoid the weekend altogether, you will save enough to add another night and avoid some of the crowds.
Many hotels are increasing the price on rooms sold through the large online travel agencies like Hotels.com to cover the high commissions they pay on those rooms. It will usually benefit you to go to the hotel’s website and book directly.
Many hotels have book-early specials they offer in the spring. If you know you want to go to the beach, check out the book-early specials offered by most hotels.
Just like booking mid-week helps you avoid crowds and the highest prices, visiting in the fall or spring instead of peak summer helps you save. In our opinion, Ocean City in the fall is the best time of year: it’s still warm, the water is warm enough to swim, the weather is usually great, and the crowds have died down. Best of all, prices drop dramatically — not just on hotel rooms, but on restaurants too.
OceanCity.com does not charge commission on promoting hotel rooms, so we publish the offers and deals that hotels give us. We frequently publish packages hotels have for holidays and special events. Check this page often, as offers change constantly.
Hotels often send out promotional rates and packages through email to their subscriber lists.
If you aren’t interested in the big Ocean City events, you may want to book your trip around those dates. Popular events get busy and discounted hotel rates can be hard to come by. Some of the big ones are Bike Fest, 4th of July, the OC Air Show, and Sunfest.
