Francis Scott Key Family Resort

We stayed at this hotel for the oceans calling music festival, therefore we didn’t spend a lot of time exploring the grounds that had a swimming pool (indoor and outdoor?), basketball court, and mini golf. They do offer laundry facilities ($2.00 per load) as well. Our standard room with two queen beds and a sofa sleeper was spacious. The bathroom was very small with just a toilet and shower, but the sink outside of the bathroom had a lot of counter space. There was also a small balcony off the back of our room. Staff was extremely friendly. There was a fun, family friendly feel to this resort. We walked to the beach for the festival a few times. It took about 35 minutes, but was an easy walk. They have wide, paved paths for bicycles or walkers. The bridge that you cross over the bay to get to the ocean is long, but they have a fence to separate you from traffic. If you happen to be staying here for a festival on the beach, would recommend walking over having bicycles. The bridge is very long and due to foot traffic, you had to walk your bike over the bridge anyway. Overall very happy with our accommodations here!!

Our stay was amazing we decided to stay an extra night! There are many things to do for children of all ages. Pools, splash pads, playground, basketball, volleyball, mini golf, movies w/popcorn @ 8 & 10pm, there was always something to do!! The pools are clean with lifeguards. Outside by the lake was fun flying a kite and playing with bubbles! Our family has made amazing memories this summer staying here! The shuttle is every 10-15 minutes to the beach, so you don’t have to pay for parking or take home sand in your vehicle!! The staff are friendly and easy to work with! As well as many designated smoking areas!!!! This was huge to me as a smoker. There are many designated smoking areas that are not far from the rooms, yet far enough away not to be a nuisance to the non smoking population and children. The only thing I didn’t like was that there were 3 sheriffs in cars there our last day from morning til afternoon. Being a survivor of gun violence myself, it was something I did not expect to have to relive my last day of vacation. Especially since we extended our stay for that 1 more day. I was reassured by an officer that we were safe. Thankfully my son was able to not see any type of police activity and we left for the beach. Other than that everything was perfect.

This was truly a fun place to stay with the grands. They had an awesome time. Especially in the indoor pool. I had the most fun there myself. The bartender at the outside bar was extremely nice and helpful with directing us to places to eat as well as activities to do. The rooms were very nice and clean. The only downfall was the small mattress on the pull out sofa. It wasn't good even for a child to sleep on. That's the only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars.
