Because Ontario sits in the high desert of Eastern Oregon, the weather is normally quite dry with low humidity and plenty of year-round sunshine.

Rates are highest in the summer and the rooms get booked quickly, especially when there are special events such as America's Global Village Festival held in June.

September, October, and November are quiet months in Ontario and you can find lower room rates and easy access to rooms. December is actually quite busy with holiday festivals and events, so book your room early and expect higher rates. January through April is the quietest time of year and the coldest. This is when you can find lowered room rates and easy deals on rooms.
