Nice location on the boardwalk with some shopping right near by and quick drive if don’t want to walk to rides. A lot of food and shopping walking distance. Hotel room was good, AC worked good, shower and hot water good, kids liked the pool. No complaints as family had a great time.

Went to Ocean City for a long weekend with 2 other families. The hotel is located less than a block from the beach and boardwalk which was awesome. This is an older hotel and not a 4 star place, but we were not in the room that much so it was fine. The mattresses were pretty uncomfortable which was my biggest complaint. The restaurant attached to the hotel was wonderful!! We met and spoke with a local who goes there every morning for breakfast. Highly recommend it! No frills but adequate for our needs and location was perfect. Would definitely stay there again.

The spinnaker is very close to the ocean. You can view the ocean from your balcony. Staff are friendly. Having a small kitchen is a plus for our family with food allergies. We enjoyed our stay in the spinnaker.

I would definitely come back here. It is so so close to the beach. And the convenience of having a kitchenette it easy since I was traveling with kids. However property needs upgrade and will definitely be a plus

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Spinnaker. The room was comfortable and had plenty of outlets to charge our devices and a great A/C unit to keep our rom nice and cool after long days on the beach. The Spinnaker is positioned in the heart of the boardwalk and close to beach, shops and both Jolly Rogers fairgrounds.

Great location for young family - on the boardwalk. Love Malias restaurant below the building and its right next to Starbucks too. Wish the beds were bigger (they only have full beds) and my 3 year old daughters feet were black from walking on carpet (my husband and I kept sandals on) - bathroom and kitchenette is tiny but it works… I’m being picky but more counter space would’ve been helpful too (we had baby who we had to make bottles for). We both said we would stay here again. Maybe get a room that we could see part of the ocean- there are not ocean front rooms.

Very friendly and polite front desk staff as well as house keep team. Plenty of parking spot. Very happy the hotel is smoke free since we came with our two kids. You don’t have full front view of the ocean but you can still see it from the side. The main ocean is a min away from hotel. It is in the middle of the broadway…19th street so you get to find anything in a walking distance. We had a great time!
