Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Older property in a great location on the boardwalk. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The beds in my room were very broken down and uncomfortable, as well as the pillows. Two of the pillows had strong body odors from a previous guest which was very off putting. The hotel could use a little updating but other than that it was a good stay for the cost.

Front desk staff are friendly, check in was easy. Loved having an efficiency kitchen which saved us money being able to make some meals in the room. Having streaming services on the TV was a plus. Beds were ok, but should be updated soon. Steps to the beach and boardwalk. Looked like all rooms had some of an ocean view from the side. Would definitely stay here again.

Staff was very nice! Our view was great, from our balcony we could see the ocean, the bay sunset, and the city. The spinnaker has everything we needed. It was clean, the pool area was nice, my teenagers loved the location because the boardwalk is right there, Steps to the beach and shopping.. Of all the places we have stayed around OC this was our favorite location by far! We will be staying here again next year.

My stay here was great besides a toilet that sounded like a bird was inside, the bathroom was small for 4 people staying and the tub water didn’t drain that well. Other that that the room was very clean, bed was comfortable and it’s very close to the beach and boardwalk.
