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.

8/10 Very Good

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.

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.
