This 232-room, mid-range hotel is a great value for families, as it is filled with kid-friendly activities and amenities. Its playground, children's splash area, arcade, and pirate-themed indoor pool are some of the features that set this hotel apart as a kid-focused destination. The Francis Scott Key is right by an outlet mall and a bevy of restaurants. It lacks an oceanfront location, however, as the beach is a five-minute drive away (the hotel does have a free shuttle for guests). Rooms are spacious, but some, with their dingy green carpeting and outdated furnishings, are badly in need of a refresh.

The Comfort Suites Ocean City has a clean and modern look with nice-size rooms with mini-fridges and microwaves. Family-friendly amenities include a basketball court, game room, and playground. The highlight here is a big, fun outdoor swimming pool with water-park-style features. There is also an on-site fitness center and an outlet shopping center across the street. Breakfast is free, and there's a make-your-own waffle station. A small convenience store in the lobby sells ice cream and snacks and there's a Starbucks across the street. This pet-friendly hotel has fresh, modern rooms, some with fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. The Ocean City strip is a five-to-10-minute drive away.

A solid pick for budget beach-goers and families, the Comfort Inn Boardwalk has direct oceanfront access and a main spot on the boardwalk. While the outdoor pool and beach can get crowded during summer weekends, the prime location makes a car unnecessary and guests can walk to cafes and shops. The hotel is comprised of two buildings: city-view and oceanfront. The city view building has a heated indoor pool. The oceanfront building has a small outdoor pool and serves a basic breakfast in the lobby (but seating is limited). There is no restaurant on-site, but many dining options nearby. The hotel shows some signs of wear but rooms are decent-sized and come with kitchenettes, balconies (some ocean-facing), and coffeemakers among other amenities.

Popular for its premium beachfront location, the 98-room Port-O-Call Hotel is a large mid-range property right on the Ocean City Boardwalk. Its numerous room types vary in quality and decor, and not all face the ocean, but they all have small furnished balconies and Keuirg coffeemakers. Big families, groups of friends, or wedding parties can opt for the hotel's private beach house, which has a full kitchen. The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool and a seasonal restaurant with an outdoor terrace. Beach passes and Wi-Fi are billed as "free," but guests should note the daily resort fee. While there aren't many Ocean Beach hotels smack on the boardwalk that face the beach, it's worth comparing rates with the nearby Beach Club Hotel or with the Flanders Hotel -- a great kid-friendly option with an amusement park separating it from the beach.

This 87-room budget hotel is in a great location for those seeking a quiet beach vacation. The ocean is a block away, and there are family entertainment and a few restaurants nearby. A heated pool with a seasonal bar offers an alternative to the beach, and a cheerful restaurant serves three daily meals during the tourist season. Modest rooms have kitchenettes with ovens, full refrigerators, and microwaves, so meal prep is a viable option. Rooms are functional, though decor is basic and some guests are dissatisfied with the cleanliness. Those looking to be closer to the energy of the boardwalk should check out Comfort Inn Boardwalk, with its indoor and outdoor pools and free breakfast.

This value hotel has 64 suite-style rooms a few blocks from the Ocean City boardwalk and beach, with plenty of entertainment a short walk away. Spacious rooms equipped with kitchenettes, living rooms, and separate bedrooms appeal to travelers with children. Some are quite dated, but they all have a homey vibe. A heated rooftop pool and a sundeck with shaded tables are nice extras, but overall this is a no-frills hotel for travelers on a budget. Those looking for a more stylish feel or more amenities should check out Port-O-Call Hotel, which has appealing rooms, a restaurant, and heated pool.

The family-run, blue-and-white Sea Hawk Motel sits about two blocks from the beach, about a 20- to 25-minute drive from the Boardwalk. The 60 rooms at this value property have balconies or patios, and efficiency units have full kitchens. While rooms are clean and spacious, they're dated, and some of the mattresses are ready for replacement. The outdoor pool offers plenty of seating on metal-and-plastic loungers, but it’s small and by the busy road. Free coffee is available in the reception area, and there’s a good selection of restaurants across the street. The Sea Hawk is a good choice for budget-conscious travelers, but those that want to be right by the bustling Boardwalk could consider the Sleep Inn & Suites.

This 57-room, budget hotel has a cheerful, homey feel due to its comfortable suites that offer living rooms and kitchenettes with dishwashers, microwaves, and small electric burners. A two-minute walk from the ocean appeals to guests looking for a beach vacation, and the heated indoor pool is a nice alternative when needed. While near the beach, the popular entertainment of Ocean City, such as Jolly Roger at the Pier, is a 20-minute drive away. Those looking for the boardwalk experience should check out Crystal Beach Hotel on the northern end of the boardwalk, with a nearby tram to the iconic entertainment at the southern end.

The mid-range Commander Hotel is one of many properties lining the Ocean City Boardwalk, but it scores bonus points for being slightly removed from the crowded end of the beach without compromising fantastic views and easy access to tourist sites. The fully-renovated property’s 109 simple, but modern, suites and cabanas have balconies or porches, and kitchenette facilities like microwaves, refrigerators, and toasters. Wi-Fi throughout can be spotty, there aren’t any breakfast options to speak of, and free parking arrangements are problematic. However, with a pizza parlor attached to the property and an outdoor pool featuring mermaid visits and juggling performances, the hotel remains a decent spot for families. For similar rates, Castle in the Sand Hotel -- also beachfront -- has large rooms, a full restaurant, and kid-friendly activities.

Situated directly on the beach, this budget hotel offers an escape from the downtown crowds and is a short drive to the heart of Ocean City. There's no restaurant on-site but rooms are equipped with full kitchens and are ideal for families and groups, featuring two double beds and a sleeper sofa. Suites and oceanfront rooms have private balconies overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel has a small pool beside the parking lot. While the hotel is walking distance to 45th St. Village's bustling restaurants, shops and nightlife, a car is necessary to reach the city's more central attractions and boardwalk.
