Made reservations for August12th and 13th over the phone. The girl entered the wrong dates and wrong email address for the confirmation # to be sent to. Then once I finally arrived there the girl at the front desk said she didn't have reservations under my name, admitted to screwing up in entering the night I booked for the previous weekend and stated there weren't any vacancys and the manager would have to give us a refund in the morning. The girl at the front desk was helpful in helping us finding a new hotel for the night, but the next morning, George the owner was the most arrogant, condecending, stuck-up individual I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. He stated that even though it was the hotel's error that the wrong date was entered in and the confirmation number was sent to the wrong email address, that no refund would be given nor would he even transfer the night's credit that we already paid for with the deposit to another day. Needless the say the money they stole, will be the last they ever get from me or anyone I know.

Dear people,
I have a question about transportation to Ocean City.
Is there any way to come to OC from Washington DC WITHOUT a car?
We are students who will be studying in DC and who would like to spend a weekend (or more if we like it) on the beaches? Is there any kind of public transportation, buses, anything from DC?? Or we have to rent a car? :(
Thank you very very much for your answers!

If you rent a car, it is quicker. Unfortunately, many rental car companies won't rent to people younger than 25.
Greyhound makes the trip in 5 hours. You go to Baltimore then transfer to another bus.
You could take #922 or #950 MTA bus from DC to Annapolis and then taking Greyhound the rest of the way. The Greyhound from Annaplis to Ocean City is 3 hours, so I am suspect you may not save much time if the connection times aren't right.
I'm originally from Baltimore and we often spent weeks in the summers at OC, so that's why I looked at your query; altho I have not had to go there other than via car.
so I Googled and found this website which gives you transfers from various airports; paging down you see from DULLES, BWI, etc. Possibly one of these routes would make sense.
I am visiting the area myself later this summer (Balto., D.C.), so Ihad also seen that there is an inexpensive train from D.C. to BWI.
OK, so as I was 'entering', I realised I had neglected the website:

Everyday at the beach, a kite store called
The Kite Loft, puts out an impressive display of flags and kites! They usually have a theme, and some expert flyers out there doing tricks for you! It is very festive, and always bright and colorful for a great camera shot! We almost always go and check out the flags and kites on display in front of the Kite Loft!
Great food, beautiful restaurant, what a view! Ask your hotel for a recomendation, and you may get a coupon to this great tradition at the begining of the boardwalk. It is right by the museum, and some great rides too, beautiful shops, location is a plus too!
It is a bit pricy, so save it for your big dinner out! Raw Bar is open Saturday and Sunday.
I like the Chicken Chesapeake, Chicken breast stuffed with crab meat. Yum! Great salad with dinner, and all the side dishes you can eat!
While the advent of the internet seems to have lessen challenges of finding maps, directions, etc. do not count on it totally, especially Mapquest.com. I found it to be woefully wrong on many occassions and this trip from Northern VA to OC, Md to take five hours not the 3 hours and 9 minutes suggested. The directions were clear, but nearly like the bird flies, regardless if it was back country roads, which they were. Alas, one had an accident, so we had to circle around about 20 miles south and east to rejoin. Homeward bound, we asked the hotel staff the best way, and it was a main east west highway. Still took a longer time that 3 hours, but a straight shot.
The city of Ocean Beach is well defined with roads that are laid out logically north to south, numbered with the lower numbered streets reflecting the older town with the board walk. Finding our hotel was easy.
I went to Ocean City for several reasons, the major one being that I was transporting two others to attend a conference. And my lodging was being paid for. Since we had signed up late we didn't get to stay at the resort where the conference was being held at, but we were a short walk away. Our hotel was at the Gold Coast Mall which was quite convenient and had the movie theatres and a Denny's. I would stay there again. I had priced the rooms earlier in the week thinking I would stay an additional day, but by the time I knew for sure I wanted to stay, the price went up $100.00 a night, so make sure you book all your dates far in advance (2 weeks B4 at least). The resort had much nicer facilities and the restaurant there was terrific.
