“Nice family oriented hotel for Ocean City”

Reviewed May 23, 2013 NEW

Stumbled into this hotel online while planning a pre-memorial day trip to Ocean City, Maryland. It's very much a 'beach' style hotel (room is not luxurious, walls a little thin, doors go straight out to exposed 'halls', however it was extremely comfortable). It IS before the bridge crossing into Ocean City proper, so it isn't on the beach. Price was... More

“great for family”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

We stayed here as a couple during bike week and had a great time. They were very accommodating with easy check in and check out. I have stayed here about for times in different buildings. The rooms are average quality. Resort seems to be very kid friendly.

Thank you for taking the time to write. Though our main focus is on our younger guests we love to have different groups come and enjoy our property! Hope to see you ride down soon! Sincerely Annemarie Dickerson Owner More

“Family friendly but not luxury by any means”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

The good: This hotel ( actually a motel) has character and is family friendly. Fabulous indoor pool kept very warm so the little ones don't get cold. Small arcade and DVD rentals for the room. Also, reasonably priced bar with tasty drinks and OK food. double beds are small but comfy. The bad: located before the bridge so a little... More

We appreciate your honest comments. All guest rooms carpet and furniture is less then three years old. We are planning next winter to begin the new drywall/ bathroom phase of our redevelopment. The inadequate cleaning has no excuse and I apologize. We may not be luxury but we are clean and we missed the mark.... I hope your family will... More

We had a great time while we stayed here. It is family friendly for younger children. The room was clean and the staff was very nice and friendly.

Clean rooms, great accommodations for the price! Not a spa/resort - but that's not why we went. We went for the kids to have fun! Loved it.... More

“Wonderful vacation destination for families.”

Francis Scott Key is a great family resort. They offer plenty of amenities for all ages and the rooms were very clean. Staff members are very friendly and helpful. FSK is just minutes away from the outlets and boardwalk. You will definitely enjoy your stay.

The outlets have just gone through a renovation and the new stores and new look is fantastic. We are surrounded by great restaurants and shopping not to mention the great beaches...We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay! Hope to see you again soon! Annemarie Dickerson Owner More

“FSK Vacation”

This hotel is top notch when it comes to a family friendly vacation. It's great in the summer with all the outdoor activities (pool, miniature golf, etc) as well as the off season (indoor water park, movie & popcorn, etc.). We have stayed at FSK both in the summer as well as the off season and there was always plenty... More
