OT ~ Salisbury, MD Hotels / near OC MD

Is this too far to stay if you want to go to OC MD beach or the other beaches close by? How would the traffic generally be during the weekdays? We are thinking of going M- W kind of thing. It said about 30 miles but to me they seem on the short side.

My Mom just suggested a quick trip there next month and I am comparing prices. I found some nice places in Salisburg but I can't remember if that would be too far to travel every day for the girls.

I am trying to keep the short 2 night trip very budget but I don't want ot stay in a dive. (some of the boardwalk places we have stayed at years ago were terrible IMO) The most important thing is to walk the beach and gather seashells. Everythign else is icing...

Any suggestions for a room big enough for 3 adults and 3 kids (DH can't get off) ? I kind of like a suite or some sort of sepperation. My Dad SNORES LOUD. Or very reasonable 2 rooms. My Dad is handicapped and can't do steps. Boardwalk is not needed.

I am trying to keep the short trip down to $500 or so our share not counting gas I can pack a lot of breakfast and snack foods to help with the budget but I am craving seafood at least one day

Also any resturants to recommend? The only one I reallly remember is Phillips.

We stayed in Salisbury once when we went, thinking it would be no big deal to travel back and forth, but to be honest, it got to be a pain in the butt to do it. If we left the beach, we wanted to be able to zip right back to the hotel to change/shower and that wasn't possible, since it was a 30 min drive. We had to drive 30 min back to the hotel and 30 min back to walk around the boardwalk. From then on we've stayed right in OC.
