What are the weekly rates after Labor Day for one bedroom accommodations?
Rates will vary quite a bit depending where you stay. Here is a sampling of rates for a few different places:
Dunes Manor is a couple of blocks north of the boardwalk at 28th street, all rooms are ocean front with balconies. This is one of my favorite properties in OC, and the place I always recommend. My family stays there often. Rates from ~$1000/week in September. http://www.dunesmanor.com/.
Holiday Inn Suites at 17th Street is right on the boardwalk http://www.ocsuites.com/. Many rooms are ocean front with balconies. The hotel has lots of amenities including indoor and outdoor pools. Rates from ~$1400/week in September.
The Spinnaker is right off the boardwalk at 18th Street (ocean block) http://www.ocmotels.com/spinnaker/. It is a great property, and being ocean block it will be bit more affordable. Many rooms have balconies with a view of the beach and ocean. They have an outdoor pool. Rates from ~$900/week in September.

I'm trying to find the cheapest accommodations, checking in on the Aug 25th and out on the 28th.
2 adults and 4 children.
Here are a few places that are affordable, but clean. I also have 4 children
and know it can be tough to find a place to fit everyone. Some of these
places may not be able to fit 6 people, so you may need two rooms.
Beachmark, 73rd Street, outdoor pool, ocean block. A basic motel that will be clean, but will not have lots of amenities. (http://www.beachmarkmotel.com/), $139 on weekends in season.
Tides, 71st Street, outdoor pool, ocean block. A basic motel that will be clean, but will not have lots of amenities. (http://www.tidesmotel.com/), $129 on weekends in season.
Sahara, 19th Street on the boardwalk with ocean block buildings too. No pool. A basic motel that will be clean, but will not have lots of amenities. (http://www.saharamotel.com/), $134 on weekends in season
Beach Plaza, 13th Street on the boardwalk is $99 weekdays, $129 weekends. This is a nice hotel that was fully renovated last year. No pool.

What hotel would you recommend to stay at thats under $100 a night and is within walking distance of the beach? We are looking for one of those not so "name-brand", but decent affordable hotels. Someone that stayed there before recommended a hotel with "BLUE" in the name, but can only find the Blue Apts, that houses students during summer !! HELP, looking to stay this coming weekend. Thanks
Below are a few places that get close, but I know of no place I'd recommend at $100 per night. The ones below are affordable and clean and an easy walk to the beach.
Tides Motel at 71st Street is $119 weeknights, $129 weekends.
Sahara Motel at 19th Street is $124 weeknights, $134 weekends.
Beach Plaza at 13th Street on the boardwalk is $99 weekdays, $129 weekends. This is a nice hotel that was fully renovated last year. If they have rooms this is the place I'd stay.
Admiral Motel at 8th Street has rooms from $87 weekdays, $119 weekends.
Eden Rock Motel at 20th Street has rooms from $114 weekdays, $134 weekends.
Fenwick Inn at 138th Street is $179 and up.

I am looking for a cheaper condo for my family of four from August 24th to 27th.
Your best bet is to work
directly with a realtor to find a unit that best meets your needs and budget. They usually rent for full weeks, but if they have availability they will do partial weeks. Two
realtors I've used and been
very happy with are:
Coldwell Banker: 800.633.1000 http://www.cbvacations.com/
Shoreline Properties: 800.492.5832 http://www.shorepro.com/
I'd use their websites to look at units, but call them to ask questions and make a reservation. Condo's usually rent in one week increments, so it will be best to work directly with an agent to try to arrange your stay.

Does the Admiral Hotel do reservations for only 1 night?
Most hotels in OC do require a two night minimum in season, but mid-week Monday thru Thursday you should not have a problem. As the season winds down you might be able to get a one night stay. Best bet is to call the hotel directly closer to your stay and see if they have a room available. http://www.ocadmiral.com/index.php

We have 3 families who want to visit Ocean City, MD on Sept 3-5. What is the best deal we can get at your hotel? Total of 3 rooms, at least 2 with refrigerator.
That is a prime weekend. Labor Day Weekend to be exact. My advice to you is to go to www.hotels.com and see which hotel comes up with the best rate. They will not discount rates until the very last minute if they have inventory available.
