With the Fourth of July upon us what better way to celebrate the birth of the nation than to indulge in one of America’s favorite pastimes? We found baseball-centric hotel offers from coast to coast, that yield decent savings. Rates start at just $199/night. In some cases, it may be the best way to get a seat for the remainder of the season.

St. Louis Cardinals special from $289
Pull out your Cardinal red! Steps away from the Gateway Arch, Busch Stadium and more, the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark is setting fans up in style with the Grand Slam Package, starting at $289/night. The package includes accommodations; two tickets to a Cardinals’ game either the day or night of arrival; and a baseball-themed souvenir. Four-ticket deals are also an option. Taxes and gratuities are extra.

Seattle Mariners package from $199
Calling all Mariners supporters! Hotel Nexus, set in the North Seattle University District, is offering accommodations plus two field-level tickets; transportation to and from the game; complimentary hot breakfast; and two souvenir Mariners beer glasses for nightly rates ranging between $199 and $324. The package is available for one-, two- or three-game options, and must be booked by calling the hotel directly.

Washington Nationals offer from $239
Head to the country’s capital to partake of the Fairmont’s deal for Nationals fans: Two Field or Terrace seats and roundtrip Metro passes, along with a one-night sojourn at the luxurious 415-room West End hotel. All this starts at $239 or $279/night depending on ticket selection. Nationals Parks, a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ certified ballpark, is the first accredited “green” stadium.
