Our stay was from 10/26 thru 10/27. Couldn't sit on the balcony because the door would only open about 2 inches. Something was wrong with the metal latch. Exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work. No ice machine to be found. Vending machines didn't have bottle of cold water.

Great place to stay!

We really liked staying at the Spinnaker! The room had a small kitchen so we were able to eat and have coffee in the room. The location was great and basically on the boardwalk - within walking distance of everything you would want. We would definitely go back.

The Spinnaker was clean but needed some updating. The hotel still has not converted to queen beds. The front desk staff was wonderful when we needed help. We also liked that there was a breakfast spot right under our room.

The MOST helpful hotel staff I have ever encountered. Amenities n things were a little outdated but the kindness and flexibility of the staff (even on a heavily trafficked music festival weekend) more than made up for it

The front desk staff was very nice. Parking was fine. Location was easy to get to and steps to the boardwalk. We stayed 1 night for Oceans Calling festival and were 1.4 miles down the boardwalk to the concert. The property is older and rooms show age and wear and tear. Carpet needs to be replaced with LVP. A good deep cleaning would help with the musty smell. Fine for 1 night. Beds were comfortable and clean so that was a plus.

These are "efficiency" rooms, include small kitchenette with a full size fridge, electric stove, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. Nice size, renovated, there are carpeted or some hardwood floor options, for those with allergies. Each room also has a balcony facing sideways to the ocean front, literally two steps away from the boardwalk full with shops and restaurants. Very nice and accommodating people at the front desk, never let me down during my multiple stays, my first choice in the OC Maryland, wonderful.
