We visit Ocean City every summer. This was our first stay at The Spinnaker. We were very happy with the spacious room! We had enough space to store our bicycles so we didn’t have to lock them outside. The kitchen was nice to have, but did not have many utensils or pans available. Our only minor criticisms are the TV was confusing, and the outlets didn’t all work (they were loose and probably just worn out). Parking was very convenient and we were in a perfect location for the OC Air Show. Overall we recommend staying here.

Labor day weekend
Great location! Only a few steps to the beach and boardwalk. Was able to park in the lot earlier than check in and was called at 1pm for our room as opposed to the normal 4pm check in. Our room was clean, the only negative is the rugs are dirty. You wouldn't know by looking at them but our feet were black. Wear some shoes to avoid this. I hope they replace the rugs with laminate to avoid this in the future. I would definitely stay here again for a weekend.

Our room was clean. Kitchenette was functional (we did cook in it many days) but dated & could use a little TLC in the near future. Bathroom was clean. Only negative feedback is that the wall mounted AC unit is in desperate need of cleaning as the fan fins were pretty black & smelled of mold, clothes dresser & central nightstand drawers would not stay closed once items were placed inside. We wedged paper on the sides to keep them closed. Easy fix with maybe some shims, but we don’t carry those in our suitcases.

Decent Place to Stay
Front desk staff was WONDERFUL! Food at restaurant was good. However, once in our room, our feet were black from the carpet.When we notified front desk, they discounted the room and gave us breakfast vouchers. The cleaning staff cleaned the carpet but left the door wide open afterwards with all of our belongings inside. Once notified, the hotel refunded a night. They were extremely accommodating! The bathroom tub grout needed a deep clean. Everything else was fine.

The cleaning staff were very nice. Location to the beach is wonderful especially for the price. You can catch the tram to go anywhere on the board walk you wish 5$ per person each way. Wish there was a warmer pool with shallow end for kids is all. If you want someplace to sleep close to the beach its perfect.
