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.
