Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms had a smell to it not sure what it was but we kept on putting room spray so that helped while we stayed there. The bus shuttle was a plus to go to the board walk.

This is a great little spot for families to visit ocean city! The pools are great and the rooms were comfortable. There are a lot of food options close by that allow you to enjoy that fresh seafood and the shuttle is a great option to get to the beach! 100% recommend if you have kids.

We loved our stay at Francis Scott Key Resort, lots to do with the kids and family. The shuttle was nice when we didn’t want to drive our own vehicle to the beach. Being walking distance to shop and eat was also a plus. Hopefully we will be back next year. I would love to stay in the purple cottage! So cute!

Amenities amazing , kids had a blast in the indoor play pool and the parents had a blast on the outdoor pool . The grill was a plus although restaurants near by were cost effective . Staff at check in was nice , we were 3 separate bookings and they put us near by at last request. The cleaning needs improvement , the floor had seeds from previous guests , towers smelled weird and the conditioner bottle was half used and dirty marks on it . Although was a great experience and recommend for families with small kids .

The family resort was really amazing and had everything there. The traffic was so bad on the 4th of July weekend that thank god that the resort had so many amenities cause you really didn't want to leave to the resort to be stuck in traffic for hours. The visitors and staff were very friendly and had you feeling comfortable immediately.

Plenty of parking available, which was great for us. The indoor and outdoor pools were nice for days that we didn’t want to venture off the property. It’s close enough to places to walk to quite a few restaurants for any meal of the day. The shuttle from the property to the island is great if you don’t want to deal with driving through beach traffic as well. There are a few other amenities we did not use, like the arcade and the movie theater, but the amount of kid friendly activities makes it worth it to stay here. We have been here a few times and it’s been great every time. There were also a few new additions like PJ’s Pizzeria, which was delicious.

Needs an elevator and better sound proofing because I heard every family at night but overall great place with the movie theater for kids, small arcade, playground and convenient restaurant and pool areas were great. Just absolutely needs room updating and bath tub was bad with water rusting.

This was my family's 1st time staying at this location. It was very clean, the staff was super friendly and there was plenty for my 4 year old grandson to do. He loved the indoor pool, miniature golf, arcade room, playground and even the movie theater. He selected the movie he wanted to see and we were the only ones in the theater. The staff even popped popcorn for us. I would definitely stay here again.

Stayed 2 nights in the room with kitchenette, very clean indoor and outdoor pools. There is only 1 basketball hoop, had to wait a few times for the hoop, hopefully they can have more basketball courts in the future. The walls are thin in the room, you can hear your neighbor talking, kids crying and so forth. 5 minute drive to the boardwalk, close to amenities. Overall we had a great time!
