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 absolutely love Francis Scott Key Family Resort! We’ve been coming here for over 16 years, and it truly feels like our home away from home. ❤️ My kids have grown up coming here, and even after all these years, they still get excited about every visit. There’s something really special about a place that can continue to bring your family together and create memories year after year. During the summer, we look forward to coming at least once a month. It has become one of our favorite family traditions, and we’ve made so many wonderful memories here over the years. Thank you, Francis Scott Key, for being such a special part of our family’s summers for more than 16 years. We’re already looking forward to our next stay! ❤️🏖️

Stayed in Maryland Building so the outdoor pool was very convenient. Pool towels being provided is also nice. Indoor pool was great for my new swimmer and toddler.

The rooms were very nice and clean. The inside pool was the best to avoid the Sun and heat. PJ's pizzeria everything on the menu was delicious. Will definitely come again.

First time we stayed here. It was really clean . And the pools were very clean . Alot to do for the kids. The only downside is if you're on the second floor you have to carry all if your luggage up quite a few steps.

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 .

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!

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.

My kiddo got sick on the drive down. We arrived at the hotel very early in the morning and I explained my situation. They were able to get us a room within the hour so kiddo could rest. The room was very clean and the property and amenities are well maintained.

We came to stay here for my daughter’s 7th birthday and it had everything we needed on the resort, pool, splash pad for my 2 year old, bar for the adults in the crew and restaurant that had amazing BBQ chicken pizza. They left enough towels and washcloths upfront so we didn’t have to ask for more. We were able to make breakfast in our rooms to save money. All in all it a great time!
