The Spinnaker is a solid pick if you’re seeking convenience and beach front property. The room was clean but extremely outdated. While it had a kitchenette, all of the appliances and furnishings looked very old. The staff were friendly, but not very helpful—when we asked for local recommendations, we didn’t get much guidance. We had five girls in one room, and when we ran out of toilet paper, the front desk responded with a snarky remark, as if it was surprising we needed more. The room had a musty “old” smell, the sofa bed was clearly in need of an upgrade, and the bathroom was tiny with almost no ventilation. I expected the hotel to be in the middle of everything, but it wasn’t as central as advertised. The pool was also very small, making it difficult to enjoy. Overall, it was a clean stay, but the outdated facilities, lack of helpfulness, and cramped amenities left a lot to be desired.

The hotel is fine. The thing is, it is just a lot for what you get and the hotel is getting “tired” now. Fine if you just want somewhere to hang out or stay. Not sure I would stay there again.

This was a great place to stay. It was our second time. The addition of a cafe on the premises was awesome. We were a few steps from the boardwalk which was so convenient. We’ll definitely stay there again!

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.
