10/10 Exceptional

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.
Karrie, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Had a Great stay
James, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would come back again.

Great location , spacious room. Bathroom quite small. No space to put toiletries. Decent kitchen area , although we didn’t use. Pool area nice , but small for this size hotel. A reserved handicap space was accommodated, which was great. I didn’t use housekeeping in my 3 night stay but they were accessible if you needed anything. As for cleanliness the bathroom floor/ corners could be cleaner. Overall i would stay again as you are steps away from the beach.

Sok T., 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We liked that we had a water view from our balcony and we were able to walk to the beach and boardwalk within 2 minutes. Also we enjoyed having a kitchen. We didn't like that you could ear everything!!!!! the bathroom was too small for multiple guest.
