We returned home today from staying at the Francis Scott Key Family Resort and we're already making plans to return during our daughter's Christmas break. First and foremost, the rates are excellent! Very affordable for people like us who are on a budget. Second, the service was outstanding. All staff members were extremely polite and helpful. We were at the... more

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We have so much going on here we are working very hard to make our improvements without disrupting our guests experience. We have added sand into the paint to keep our guests from slipping but that very sand is causing some scrapes instead. We are working on this issue and...

We loved every single thing about our stay ..it was awesome...we cooked on the grills every night and didn't have to go out to eat, we had a fire in the outside fire place, the pools were great, the bus made getting to the beach a breeze...have told everyone I can think of that this is the place to go....can't... more

We are glad that your family took advantage of the amenities that we offer. The shuttle service is becoming one of our guests favorite! We are working hard this winter to bring the Main Lodge back to her glory and we are looking forward to our new 1950's Diner to be another place for our families to enjoy together. Thanks...

As Ocean City properties are being updated and replaced with newer buildings, it keeps getting more and more expensive to stay in Ocean City proper not to mention the crowding. West Ocean City gives a nice change of pace, less traffic, with the same amenities. It's an easy drive over to the boardwalk with ample parking at the inlet or... more

Thank you so much! We realize that the economy is tough and though we believe spending vacation time with family is important it is not a requirement. Our rates for 2010 will remain the same as this year with the exception of a $5 increase in the rooms we are re-modeling. The Diner will be another affordable option for our...

OK... the good: LOVED the indoor pool. My kids (21 months and 4 1/2 year old boys) could not get enough! They were nothing but waterwings sliding down the waterslide. It is so awesome to see them coming back from a day of playing and falling asleep before dinner. What parent doesn't love that? If I could change one thing... more

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We have just ordered our new furniture for 80 rooms. It is a whitewash light finish that we believe will update our decor. We are also replacing the carpet, painting and replacing the fixtures and kitchen cabinets. All guest rooms are getting new beach themed bedspreads and window treatments. We...

I stumbled onto the Francis Scott Key website while searching for a place to stay for our first family trip to Ocean City, MD. Our first time in Ocean City and we plan to return to the FSK annually! The website promised lots of family fun and we were not disappointed in the least. Our days were filled with swimming... more

Thank you for you wonderful review. We are in the beginning stages of over re-model. Lots of improvements for 2010! We are proud of our staff and we do believe in trying to give our guests the best customer service possible. Next summer our family lounge will provide for entertainment for our families and the new Diner an affordable place...

We decided to go to Ocean City at the last minute and there was not much available for the Labor Day weekend. The room was basic. The carprt had a very large stain on the carpet. The pool outside was very cold and the indoor pool was dirty. There was large amounts of hair floating in the indoor pool and... more

I am disappointed by this posters comments. We closed the indoor pool for 12 days in September and drained the pool, painted the pool and desk and cleaned every detail that we are unable to do when the pool is filled. It looks brand new. Many of the "dirty" areas were in fact paint that had chipped, rust stains in...

I just wanted to comment on the conditions of room 1712 on the dates of October 2 through 4. Upon check in, when we entered our room, the first thing that we noticed was an ant on the sink. I didn’t think much of it, so we proceeded to unpack and hit the pool. When we came back, we noticed... more

It is disappointing when we miss the mark with a family. I have already spoken with this family and they have been reimbursed for their weekend. Ants were an issue and we have been on top of solving the problem. It can be a problem that re-visits itself before another application of treatment is allowed. The issue with the heat...

The staff at the hotel are super nice, friendly and obviously enjoy their jobs. The entire resort is well thought out to make life wonderful for their guests, especially those traveling with young children. Indoor waterpark is wonderful, very inviting and has a lot of fun features that even adults will enjoy. Just a really awesome adventure! The property is... more

It was great reading your review. We strive to make our target audience (children and teens) happy and we are thrilled when it comes together for a family. We are excited about some new updates for 2010. We will have a family lounge that will have game nights or can be used for family reunions ect. We will also have...

We met up with my sister and her son in Early August 2009. We had kids ages 15, 3, & 8. I absolutely loved the place. As stated in many reviews, the one problem I find with the rooms is the rust and old, yuck feel of the bathrooms, other than that it was great. I brought things with me... more
