The room was nice and refreshing with a wonderful view from the balcony. I was surprised to be at the Spinnaker because the distance from the hotel was close to the boardwalk and the entrance to the beach. Titiana was helpful too. She was polite and she checked on our needs. The Spinnaker was a great place to stay for our mini vacation.

The location is the best thing about this place. It’s right in the beach next to the boardwalk. It also comes with parking but we were also charged $20 hotel fee. The bathroom also had a clog in the shower. The staff was nice and helpful.

Our experience at this hotel was truly exceptional. We comfortably accommodated six adults in the spacious room, which boasted a fully equipped kitchen. The balcony, a decent-sized one, provided a lovely view of the beach, which was conveniently located right next to it. The air conditioners were new and efficiently cooled the room, even when we opened the doors frequently. The bathroom was also quite nice, although the showerhead might need a change. Overall, we had a fantastic experience.

If the kitchenette would have had enough dishes for all of us, would totally be a 5*. It was just annoying that the dishes were lacking a little, the rags sucked for actually scrubbing the dishes. Give me a sponge and 2 more plates, 2 more sets of silverware it would be 5*.

For a structure that has existed for many years, the buildings appeared to be in decent condition. Safe condition. I feel they have been maintained well. The room resembled days many years ago. The room was comfortable and provided the relaxation expected. The staff was super! Very kind, respectful, helpful, and considerate.

Only reason I didn't rate better was they really need to replace the pull out sleeper couch in room 317, sorry but it sucked!! Very hard to pull out,took 2 peoples and the mattress was ridiculously old. Nothing left to it. Good thing that kids can sleep just about anywhere. Other than that all was fine, a little dirt here and there but wasn't bad. NO BUGS.
