The Spinnaker consistently receives positive feedback for its location, affordability, and friendly staff, particularly highlighting the exceptional service provided by Jasmine. While some guests appreciate the kitchenettes and proximity to the boardwalk, concerns regarding cleanliness, outdated decor, and pool upkeep have been noted.

We can’t say enough about the Spinnaker! We were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Another advantage is the short walk to the boardwalk and beach. I wish we had more time to spend there. We will definitely be back next year!

Staff is super accommodating and friendly. Clean rooms, good condition and no issues. Extended my stay and they were great. Easy parking and good location. Loved the free bicycles that you could use. Took two rides on boardwalk. Beats paying $15-20 each time. Was first time staying in this hotel. I will definitely use them again next year !

Pros: Housekeeping asked us every day if we needed anything, and when we did, brought it right away! Location was great. 1/2 block from the boardwalk, but not at the super busy part of the boardwalk. LOVED the 2 complimentary beach chairs and that they had bicycles to use (though some of them need a little fixing!) Room seemed clean. Nice beach view from the balcony. Cons: Definitely could use some interior updating. There were some rusty areas, and the carpet probably could be replaced. The railings on the balcony seemed maybe a little shaky. A/C unit was a little loud and definitely rusted out inside. Definitely need new (and maybe more) luggage carts. Our building only had 1 SMALL elevator. (The other building had 2). The pool water was quite murky. Not sure if it needed treated or what, but you couldn't even see the bottom. Also- the lift for putting someone with a disability into the pool was broken (didn't affect us but should be fixed!)

Our room was clean and had plenty of towels. The room was spacious and comfortable. We could see the ocean from the side balcony. There are restaurants and other things to do within walking distance. CVS is also a short walk from there too. Staff is friendly and attentive to our needs. Our housekeeper was amazing! Only "complaint" is the pool is small for the size of the hotel. Not a lot of room to accommodate the amount of guests.

We had an amazing stay! Our room was very clean and every staff member we encountered was friendly and welcoming! Jasmine provided exceptional service and definitely made a huge impact on our stay. She gave us fantastic recommendations for dining and activities with our children, as well as informing us about the bike rentals and beach chairs that came with our room! We will definitely be booking directly through the hotel next time though, as she made us aware of the benefits of becoming a VIP member! Definitely have to mention that while waiting in line, we noticed that she was very informative and made all of us feel like we had her full attention rather than rushing through the check in process. We all received the same level of care and she answered questions without making anything feel like a hassle. Thank you Jasmine and the rest of the staff for making our stay so memorable. We will definitely be back next year!

Disgusting and Unacceptable Stay - Spinnaker Hotel, Ocean City, MD Our recent stay at the Spinnaker Hotel in Ocean City, Maryland, was an utterly appalling and unsanitary experience that I feel compelled to share. Upon checking into our room, we were met with a truly shocking discovery: the bed was not clean, and disturbingly, there was someone else's vomit present. This was not only a revolting sight but also still wet and malodorous, which my son unfortunately discovered when he excitedly jumped onto the bed. The immediate aftermath was a scramble to contact hotel management, and what followed was equally unacceptable. It took over 24 hours for the hotel to respond adequately to this egregious hygiene failure. To add insult to injury, despite the horrific conditions we were forced to endure, management denied our request for a full refund. Their proposed solution was merely an offer of one additional night's stay and a negligible future discount, which does not even begin to compensate for the trauma and disgust caused by such a fundamental breach of cleanliness and guest safety. This experience was beyond disappointing; it was genuinely appalling. No guest should ever have to encounter such unsanitary conditions, let alone deal with such an unhelpful and dismissive response from hotel management. I strongly advise anyone considering a stay at the Spinnaker Hotel to reconsider.

Rooms are what you would expect in an older Ocean City Hotel. They are a little dated and could be a little cleaner but overall they are just fine for resting your head at night. I like the fact that there is the kitchen. The rooms are spacious. You have decent views of ocean and bay/city. Apparently they are Under New Management and the the one thing I don't like is this hotel now rents to under 21 so we were there during senior week and it was very disappointing the amount of kids that were running around causing a ruckus. I will hope that next summer they will go back to only renting to adults and families. That was one thing that I always loved about this hotel. It was very family friendly when you didn't have to worry about loud obnoxious teenagers.

There were some dirty dishes in the cabinet and the entry floor of the room was dirty upon arrival. Overall I would definitely come back. Nothing extreme. Also I would choose glass dishes over plastic because the dishes were stained as well. Or I as a customer will bring paper plates with my next stay. This hotel is close to the beach and board walk and for the price. I would definitely stay here again. It was 5 of us and space was perfect. 3 adults and 2 children. They have a full fridge and a stove with oven as well a microwave. The bath tub I’m in love with. Overall a beautiful place for small family and great value.

We love the Spinnaker. Its an affordable hotel in a great location. The rooms are clean and offer amenities that families on a budget will use. We've stayed here 3 times now and it is our go to in OCMD. The desk staff is wonderful and knowledgeable about activities and events. The onsite café is highly rated and while I haven't dined there personally, I would certainly give it a try.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Spinnaker, we were on the 5th floor with great views of the ocean, we could even see to the bay! Our room was directly behind the elevators and at first I wondered how much noise we would have, but I can honestly say that we did not hear the elevators one time in the 5 days we were there! The walls must be super thick! Room was clean and tidy, staff were super nice and we enjoyed the breakfast and lunch cafe - "Malia's". We will be back!
