Our stay was from 10/26 thru 10/27.
Couldn't sit on the balcony because the door would only open about 2 inches. Something was wrong with the metal latch.
Exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work.
No ice machine to be found. Vending machines didn't have bottle of cold water.

Great place to stay!
We really liked staying at the Spinnaker! The room had a small kitchen so we were able to eat and have coffee in the room. The location was great and basically on the boardwalk - within walking distance of everything you would want. We would definitely go back.

We liked being on the boardwalk, good location. We were a little disappointed that the heated pool was not working when we arrived on Monday but by Wednesday evening the pool was warm again!

I was looking forward to having a small kitchen just for preparing breakfast and easy lunches. Unfortunately even though the appliances were nice and definitely usable, the layout of the space was awkward. There was no counter space at all. You had to plug one item in at a time to use it. No coffee making and toast making at the same time. You can’t unplug the fridge! The table is on the opposite side of the room. The microwave is on top of the fridge. I’m 5’1” and could barely reach it. It was all frustrating but I managed. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom small but a really nice tub/shower. All I all I was happy enough and had a great vacation. Oh and the young lady with the cleaning service was very sweet.

From check in to check out every person we came in contact with was so nice and helpful! Best customer service I have ever had at all the places we have stayed in OC. Room was clean and AC cold upon arrival. View of beach and boardwalk excellent. Only steps away from beach and boardwalk. Parking was easy and elevators were fast. Pool was chilly and sundeck with lounges and umbrella tables. Everything was clean! This will be where we vacation for years to come!

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.
