Convenient Location for a Fun Stay at the Beach

We had a short (2 night) but memorable visit that put us close to the beach. My elderly mother in law was able to navigate the resort and get to the beach easily. All the Spinnaker staff were knowledgeable and pleasant to interact with during our visit. We greatly appreciated the kitchen in our room and got great use of it. Thanks and we would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay

The beds were very comfortable. Close to the beach. We could see the beach & ocean from our room, but really liked the last stay because we were on the 5th floor & could also see the bay. On the boardwalk, but it was a quieter, calmer area. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly & helpful. This is my 2nd stay here. I would definitely come back!

8/10 Very good

Motel was older, but nice. We could see the ocean & the bay, but couldn't hear the ocean. The elevator was so slow! Front desk & cleaning girls were very friendly!
Deborah, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Affordable & convenient room

Check in was easy, kitchen, room & bathroom were clean. We needed a kitchen to cook considering the ever rising cost of eating out. Only insignificant issues were the small/short full sized beds, ac unit blasting heat onto then balcony making it unusable and being assigned a first floor room directly over a restaurant. Cafe noise wasn’t the problem but the delivery trucks slamming doors at 4:45 in the morning were. We didn’t sleep well.

It was what we needed for our Memorial Day weekend getaway. It was beautiful,beds were so comfortable,we love the beach view and we loved that we could go eat arround, there are a lot of activities for families arround. Love it! This was our first time in Ocean City but. We want to come back for sure!
Izabela, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would come back again.

Great location , spacious room. Bathroom quite small. No space to put toiletries. Decent kitchen area , although we didn’t use. Pool area nice , but small for this size hotel. A reserved handicap space was accommodated, which was great. I didn’t use housekeeping in my 3 night stay but they were accessible if you needed anything. As for cleanliness the bathroom floor/ corners could be cleaner. Overall i would stay again as you are steps away from the beach.

4/10 Fair

Just okay stay

The room was a good size and location was great but the tool condition was disappointing. Very out dated dirty and staff was not helpful. The air conditioner worked great but the baseboard heat was on the entire time as well. The staff did not know how the turn it off. Half the room was hot the other was cool. More than 1/2 of outlets didn't work so it was hard to charge phones. We had to unplug the lights to do so.
Jessica, 4-night trip

For the money, good place to stay, on the boardwalk, nice breakfast diner ground floor
