It looks like a really nice hotel. I was a little concerned if a kid that loves jumping into the pool 500 times in a row might not be the pool guest they are going for... Maybe it just depends on the time of day?

Yeah I would say it probably depends on time of day (assuming jumping in the pool is allowed)

My guess is that the only people that would really complain are the residents and they have their own pool.

I live in Baltimore and work at Hopkins. I wouldn't stay on the waterfront unless you are also going to try and hit up the aquarium/port discovery. If you want a relaxing, pool, chill vibe - stay at one of the hotels in Hunt Valley. It's not a far drive from Hopkins (unless you hit horrific traffic) and its clean, less crime, and has a wegmans.

Hunt Valley? Is this some kind of sick joke?

? It’s an area to the north. More likely to have outdoor pools because it’s more suburban.

Yes, I’m familiar with Hunt Valley, which is why I’m baffled at this suggestion. OP is looking for a fun weekend in the city at a hotel with a pool...not hanging out at the Wegman’s off Shawan Rd.

Neither would fun, IMO.

I live in Baltimore, have kids and am completely baffled by this suggestion as well.

OP - stay downtown at the Four Seasons and enjoy the waterfront views.

Same here, they left little touches in the room for the kids. It's within walking distance to the aquarium. We would definitely go back.

Four Seasons. I've been to both, and Pendry is very trendy with a younger crowd. We had a room facing the inner outdoor courtyard (which was lovely!) and people were drunk and laughing and coming back from the bars all night.

It's also like... 30 to 40 minutes from Baltimore? Why not just stay at home in MoCo??

You may run into the baseball crowd if there is a game in town but aren't they limiting attendance to games now?

That is a terrible hotel and in no way more family friendly than Four Seasons.

NP. What's wrong with the Hyatt? I just booked it for a weekend later this year. The online reviews are good.

I recommend Canopy or 4S. I have a soft spot for the Kimpton Hotel Monaco but it’s kinda in a rough spot with no parking right there, better for a couple rather than people with little kids.

It’s loud, terrible slow service all around. Some of the rooms aren’t great. If there is any type of event the elevators are a nightmare.
