Staff was absolutely wonderful! Room was clean and entire hotel seemed clean. They provided complementary chairs for the beach which was a pleasant surprise. You can tell the property is older, but it is great especially for the cost.

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.

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.
