Such a nice, family oriented place. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The room isn't fancy, but it is practical and has all we need. Furthermore, it was very clean. We appreciated the larger fridge, toaster, coffee pot and microwave. Every room has a side view of the ocean from your own personal patio.
The staff here is so nice! From Chris that does groundswork, to the ladies on the cleaning staff, and the super friendly people at the desk - everyone is so inviting! Please consider letting the cleaning staff wear shorts or capris like Chris wears shorts.
We spent a lot of time out on the sundeck and the pool. So relaxing!
I didn't know it was bike week, and was so pleasantly surprised by what great neighbors all the bikers and slingshot riders were.
The onsite cafe has delicious breakfast!
We are looking forward to returning next year!

Our stay was okay, no complaints on that. We've stayed here in the past and like the location. The restaurant below is great and it’s very close to the beach and boardwalk. HOWEVER, we mistakenly left behind a $50 Amazon gift card in our room. Our mistake, I know. I knew I should have gone up and done a last sweep of the room. But it was difficult enough getting the baby and our girls and everyone's stuff out and down to the car on time as it was! We called the morning after we checked out and it seems housekeeping must have stolen it (or the room was not cleaned properly and the next people in there found and took it). Was a birthday present, so pretty disheartening! :( I understand, but would have thought there would at least be some sort of policy or common courtesy of waiting a certain amount of time to see if the owner calls in before they'd just claim it as their own. We have looked thoroughly in all bags we brought and it’s not there. Nothing else could have happened to it.

Tbh, The Spinnaker exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a quick break from DC so found the Spinaker on my way to the beach.

The staff was super sweet. Bless those ladies. We came during bike unfortunately but they ensured we knew it would be noisy and crowded.

The room was large with a kitchenette. The AC and TV were modern which complemented the vintage hotel. Super close to the beach and boardwalk. Less then a minute walk.

Honestly no issues besides the toilet not flushing but that was fixed within ten minutes. Oh and the lighting in the room could be better but decent

I would definitely recommend. Probably one of the best Ocean city hotels I've stayed at this close to the boardwalk. Will definitely be back.
