Stay at the Hilton.

Go to Hooked for a dinner.

You’re on a forum board full of people competing to have the highest HHI and kids at the best colleges and vacations to the most exclusive resorts. It’s full of judgmental a-holes who are going to rip apart a totally nice and fun beach because it’s touristy. It’s not reading between the lines. It’s everyone else who has to one up and make themselves feel better because they go to the Caribbean and not OC. Get lost.

It’s not about being a peasant. OP said she was considering a hotel in ocean city not dead set on it. I made the point earlier that before spending $600 a night on mediocre hotel I would explore my options. If you got off the highway and the first food place you came to was selling a basic burger for $20 wouldn’t it be nice if a local informed you about the great place 2 miles down the road that had an unbelievable burger for $12.

Mexico more fun? Does Mexico have a Thrasher's and Purple Moose Saloon?

I love you.

You could rent a condo for a week for that much and just buy the same groceries you do at home (not that you want to eat the same way on vacation - but the cost could be comparable to not going away)

we are aware of the cost. We have stayed in condos for 10+ years. We don't want a week anymore. We don't want to drag our sheets/towels for a miniweek.

Thanks for your concern. We are looking for a shorter 2-3 day beach stay at a hotel that is ocean front, in good condition and has 2 queen beds, near restaurants. We don't want to drive 5 hrs for a short beach trip. So, that means OC rather than VA Beach.

You can rent sheets and towels. Much easier.

o.m.g.

What?

B/c I asked specifically for hotels in OC and even after clarifying that we are set on OC hotels, and repeating my reasons, some people insist on trashing OC or contesting the validity of our reasons for going to OC. It doesn't matter what the cost of tea in China is or how long it takes to get there if I am not going to China.

Why so cranky, OP?
