    Heated pool
    Barbara C.

    When booking a place you've never been before, you hope and pray it will be good! I couldn't of been more pleased with the Spinnaker! Great location so close to the boardwalk. We had 3 rooms right next to each other for a party of 4 adults and 7 children. The rooms are very clean. It's not fancy but who needs fancy at the beach! A perfect location. Spacious parking lot and a heated outdoor pool. A kitchenette with pots and pans, a small microwave and a full size fridge. A more than accommodating staff. We loved it so much that we are planning on another stay in a week! Bring groceries for breakfast and dinner! I made a spaghetti dinner for my crew and saved a bunch of money. Couldn't be happier with this choice!

    I totally would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an affordable place to stay on vacation in Ocean City. My friends and I stayed here over the week of June 5th-June 12th for our senior trip. It also happened to be "Senior Week" or "SWeek" the exact time we were there. Senior Week (for anyone that doesn't know) is where all graduating (or graduated) seniors, high school and college, go to a vacation spot for a week and celebrate. At the time, we didn't realize it was the same week that we were there, so it was pretty cool meeting new people riding the same wave with us (graduating high school). We drove from Ohio to Ocean City and wanted an affordable place to stay, like any other family or group. I don't remember exactly how much the rooms were a night, but our total ended up being a little over $1,000 for the week. There were 3 of us, so divide $1,000 evenly and you get a little over $360 a person. It was definitely worth the price. Upon arriving to the hotel, we check in and the man that helped us was very kind. He told us about food services, places to see, the boardwalk, etc. He checked all of our ID's to make sure we were 18, unfortunately I was not, so my parents had to sign a paper beforehand, allowing me to be there. Before he let us go to our room, he made all 3 of us sign a waiver, saying we wouldn't bring marijuana, alcohol, or any kind of drug into the facility. We were also told that there would be no on-service maid that would be coming into our room to clean everyday, due to Covid. We were completely fine with that. Upon entering the room, it was very spacious. I am sure there were different rooms to choose from, but we had 2 full size beds, a couch that could be turned into a sofa bed, full kitchen, a full bathroom, and a balcony. For 3 teenage girls, this fit us just right! Nothing struck as odd just yet.... Like any normal human on vacation, we checked every bed for bed bugs, thankfully there were none, but what we did notice was it seemed whoever cleaned/fixed the room before we came just threw the same sheets that the people used before us onto the bed again because we found hairs, sand, crumbs, etc wrapped up in the sheets. We weren't completely disgusted given the fact they had no on-service maid, so we let that one slide. Throughout the rest of the inspection of the room, we came to find more hairs (pubic) left in the shower, dead bugs on the dishes, we had no baking pan to cook food in the oven for ourselves, 2 rolls of toilet paper, no plunger, no oven mitts, no broom, no hand soap for bathroom or dish soap for dishes, no extra sheets for the pullout bed, etc. Again, we weren't disgusted, we understood the problems Covid has faced for these businesses. We weren't going to act like a Karen and go down to the front desk and complain. We politely called the receptionist and asked for a few more rolls of toilet paper, a plunger and some extra sheets. We would worry about cooking food later. The staff here are amazing. Whether they care about their job or not, they treated us like how we should expect to be treated. They even offered to unclog our toilet for us A few minor details about our room wasn't going to ruin our trip, so we continued on like nothing happened. We deep cleaned all of our dishes, so if we needed to use them at least they would be cleaned. We eventually made our way to the Walmart which is about 20-25 minute driving distance from the hotel to pick up groceries and a few essentials. Before the trip, we had decided to each pick a day and cook a meal for dinner and then the rest of the days we would eat out, but with the consistency of the dishes and the dirty room, we decided on just buying frozen meals/quick food we could just pop into the microwave. We went out of the way to even buy a baking pan and dish/hand soap for our room That night, we had a quick meal and we were off to bed, I noticed however a stain on the night table that sat between the 2 beds... I wasn't sure what it was until I shined my flashlight onto it. Turns out, it was a semen stain (I added a picture for anyone who wants to see). All 3 of us had a quick laugh and a conversation on "let's make sure no one touches it" and moved on with our night. With all the things bad that we have seen in this room, I still think it is a great place to stay. You have great access to the beach, a Starbucks/Dunkin around the block, everything you could possibly need is in walking distance, there are tons of mini golf courses scattered around the island, tons of shops and restaurants, great access to the boardwalk, however if you want to go to the pier I would recommend driving because it is a lengthy walk, but if you don't have a problem with walking by all means walk. I would definitely recommend!

    My husband and our three children stayed here for 4 days 3 nights . Researched a few places and made reservations here a week in advance . Easy to get to and perfect location . Walk to beach , Boardwalk , and many nearby restaurants and attractions . The room was adequate size and clean . Like some motels it could use a little updating but over all clean and staff was very nice Plenty of towels . Kitchenette in room was nice bonus . Pool seemed small but wasn't crowded when we went so worked out well . Wifi was very slow. Starbucks next door also had free wifi FYI. I would get bigger beds next time ( we had doubles ) the pull out was very uncomfortable . We padded it with comforters under the fitted sheet . Nice side ocean view for sunrise . Local tv channel was very informative for local activities I would return and recommend this motel

Even better-- the electricity was free! Everyone who works here is super friendly and efficient. I had no problems at check-in or check-out. They have a pretty decent array of snacks that you can buy in the lobby-- they also have a self-check-out option. As pets are welcomed here, you may see a lot of 4-legged friends leading their people around. I really enjoyed seeing all the cute dogs. My room was wonderful and the bed and pillows were among the most comfortable I have ever slept on. I had a modest balcony where I could see Assawoman Bay and enjoy some fresh air. I especially loved the quirky details here. The curtains appear to have a pattern on them-- when you get up close, you can see they are strings of numbers which I just love. Bonus points for the Marshall Amp-like music player and radio. The price was also easy on this state employee's wallet. Thank you, Aloft in Ocean City, for providing such cool accommodations.

I requested late checkout when we checked in as a Bonvoy Gold member and it was honored which helped us to enjoy our last sunny day there. Location: Fantastic. On the boardwalk at 15th street with excellent view of the beach. In the ocean front room, we could hear the waves inside the room with the door open. Nice to sit on the balcony to watch the people and the ocean. Rooms: Recently remodeled, the rooms are modern, clean, and fresh feeling. Bed was comfortable. Microwave, refrigerator (no freezer), flat round coffee filter coffeemaker in the room, desk/chair, small couch that pulls out to a bed (can fit 2 people on the couch), footstool. Small balcony with two chairs. Some shade from balcony above. It would have been nice to have had a small table. Sliding door with screen. Blackout curtains. Our room was on the 3rd floor at the end. Amenities: - Outdoor pool across the streets. No umbrellas. Indoor pool with small "hot tub" that was the same temperature as the pool since it flowed into the pool. Water felt cool to me. Most times, families with small children were in the pool playing. Open 10 am - 10 pm. Small towels available by indoor pool. - Lobby had free, good coffee and tea from 7 am - 12 pm. Restaurant: - Captains Table restaurant open for breakfast (7:30 am - 11 am every day) and dinner (Sunday - Thursday, 4 - 9 pm, Fri & Sat 4 pm - 10 pm). We ate dinner, and the food was good. Savannah our waitress was very nice and helpful with getting more Bailey's added to my chocolate martini and giving us tips on where to go. - Small gym with weights, treadmill, bike. Things to Note: - $10/day parking. Garage is located under the hotel which is nice if it rains. - Lobby is upstairs on the 3rd floor - take the elevator or two staircases. - 3rd floor, lobby level is above the lowest rooms. See tips on ground floor rooms.

I'm an ambassador Elite with Marriott and use points for the hotel so I certainly wasn't looking for room credits or anything else other than a basic apology but the manager never bothered to call or Reach Out and wow there's no excuse for a bloody towel which is an obvious health hazard to be hanging from my bathroom door without even an apology. This experience makes me consider boycotting Marriotts as a whole

The hot cookies were amazing and made check in nice lol The balcony was big enough and great views for a partial view but close when your neighbor is out on there balcony and smoking makes it so you don't want to be out there any. Plus late one night they were out smoking and you could hear their conversation from your bed while trying to sleep. One issue we had was at 5:30am the one morning the Hilton next door may have been doing renovations and a truck came to empty/pick up the flatbed dumpsters and of course that was extremely loud and woke us up. And it didn't stop there. Tons of deliveries until atleast 7:30am with the trucks backing up and constantly beeping. Again it's not the hotels fault but that made the whole day for us just miserable to the point we left that evening so we knew we could get a good nights sleep. It would just be nice if deliveries could start at the earliest 7am and I get it's off season but they should be respecting people who are there vacationing and still spending good money. I just know in the future to book an ocean front room hoping that won't wake us up again.

I liked how the living room was its own separate but connected part of the room - a nice sectional couch near the sliding glass door and sunset views. Both the living room and bedroom had WiFi TV with access to streaming services which I'm hoping will be a Hilton-wide requirement for properties soon.

I was greeted as a Hilton Honors member and was awarded an upgrade to the King Suite. I hadn't received a complementary upgrade in a long while so this was a nice change. It was a spacious corner room with large bathroom, bedroom and kitchen/living areas. A balcony was the perfect place for morning coffee. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It had an old beach motel like feel and decor, but with major upgrades. It was quiet and relaxing. The pressure in the shower could have been better. Maybe the shower head needs to be changed. Other than that, no complaints. Breakfast in the morning was good, but nothing special. I ordered the Breakfast Scramble. It was a combination of scrambled eggs, bacon pieces, cheese and potatoes on top. The potatoes weren't that warm, the cheese hadn't melted and it probably could have been reheated to ensure consistency throughout. I did enjoy the complementary coffee on the side table, which the server pointed out when we sat down. The staff were friendly, helpful and polite. This is a nice hotel overall and would probably be a good extended stay experience.

You basically have to find an illegal place to park for 30 minutes, head to the front desk (which is on the first floor above ground level), unload all of your luggage and beach gear, and then move your car to a legal parking spot. Some parking is under the main building, some is under the second building across the street, and there's plenty more in a nearby overflow lot. Good luck. The stress upon arrival already had me ready to deduct a star. Then, things improved a bit. We had an oceanfront room on a high floor, and it was beautiful. Having that balcony overlooking the ocean every morning, afternoon, and evening added an extra layer of joy to our week long stay. Breakfast here was delightful. Seating can be limited, but if you head down a little early, you'll have no problem. Every morning there was a nice assortment of hot and cold items: fresh fruit, waffles, eggs, a breakfast meat, potatoes, cereal, yogurt, toast, and either pancakes or French toast sticks, plus juice and coffee. Fill up here and you may only need a light lunch. If you do get hungry later, there are plenty of options nearby...including a good pizza place right next door. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and a nice size for our family, although it's probably due for a refresh. Housekeeping serviced the room every day, though the timing varied quite a bit. Sometimes they came in the morning, other days it wasn't until after 4 p.m. They're also dog-friendly, which was a big plus for us. However...the elevators. There are only two serving the main building, and there was often a long wait. Staff use them throughout the day, guests are constantly coming and going, and one of the two elevators went out of service at least three different times during our stay, leaving the entire building relying on a single elevator. Sheesh. The frustrating part is that I'd happily take the stairs. But the hallway leading to the stairwell has a sign that says, "Employees Only Beyond This Point." It certainly gives the impression that guests aren't supposed to use them. Meanwhile, employees seemed to be riding the elevator between nearby floors. I'd love to take the stairs, but the signs suggest otherwise. Despite the stressful arrival, frustrating parking situation, and those dreadful elevators, we still had a very enjoyable week. The oceanfront balcony, complimentary breakfast, and dog-friendly accommodations made for a memorable vacation. That said, I'm not sure I'd choose this hotel again. I prefer a property with a larger, more convenient parking lot where I don't feel discouraged from taking the car out, and a hotel with enough elevators to comfortably handle the number of guests. For a week-long beach vacation, those two things ended up mattering more than I expected.

The bed is VERY comfortable and the sectional in our room which as it turns out is a pullout bed and it is also VERY comfortable, which is a surprise because usually the pull out beds in hotels are really not very good quality. There is a fridge in the room as well as a small, single serve coffee maker and a decent TV mounted on wall. I booked the hotel so that I could bring my mother to the Thunderbirds airshow, which has been on her bucket list for sometime now. Knowing it was on the sand and she's elderly I wanted to keep it as easy and enjoyable for her as I could so that's how I came here through some research via AI generated response responses to multiple questions that I had about where to go in the best place from which state of the airshow. The Hyatt Place Ocean City oceanfront, was one of the few hotels that came up as being one of the prime spots and indeed it was. It was in fact at show center. So much so that we could we hear the announcer who was actually just a little off to our left, narration and music in this phenomenal airshow. On the balcony, we had two Adirondack chairs and a table that were quite comfortable. Also good is the beach accessibility right out front of the hotel so that made it very convenient as well although we could not take advantage of that during the airshow because it was blocked off for those who had purchased tickets,- but knowing that it's there for the future is good. The not so good: The breakfast was OK nothing spectacular. I've had better eggs at other hotels and although there was a sign that said you could get mimosas or bloody Mary's from 9 to 11 no bartender ever showed up to the bar. I asked the front desk when I went we left breakfast and was told that the bar in the lounge did not open until 3 PM and if you wanted to get a drink, you went out to the pool bar. I kind of think there should be a sign that says something about that. Also when we got in last night during the show, I wanted to go grab a couple of drinks and a couple of snacks but when I went down to the lounge again, there was no bartender and when I asked, even though the website said that the lounge was open from 730 until 11 PM, I was told that there was nobody in the lounge bar and that I needed to go out to the pool in order to get food and drinks. However, out at the bar at the pool, I was told that she could not serve the drinks that they had posted in the elevator because those could only be served inside. On that note, back into the good category is the bartender out at the pool. Colleen. She was phenomenal! The drinks that she made were really good and I tried to get down later to get some more but unfortunately, I think I missed her and I think the pool bar closes at 7 PM. Nothing regarding hours at the lounge bar or at the pool bar are posted anywhere either on the website or here in the hotel. I think they would probably do a lot more business if they posted stuff on the website or told you when you checked in advising you when the bar was open both inside and at the pool. If nothing else, I would at least let the pool bartender fix the drinks that they advertise in the elevators if they're not going to open the bar until a certain time. In the category of not so good is the elevator here as well. The elevator is so ridiculously slow. I can't tell you how many times I waited numerous times to go down when it just kept going up. There are only two elevators in the hotel and it would take quite some time to try to get outside to get stuff from the car. As for the ugly: The parking here is really quite chaotic. I only saw a couple of handicap spots and I was traveling with my disabled mother. Fortunately, we were able to snag a spot right in front of the door that you go in to take the elevator up to the lobby. But otherwise the spots underneath the main hotel are minimal. There's another building adjacent to the Hyatt place that has some spots so at least there's that. On the website for the hotel you'll see what looks like a beach shop, which I was kind of excited about however, that is apparently an old picture and instead of a beach novelty shop we were met with an unpleasant lady from Franco's Bar on top of which the hotel sits swatting us away. Apparently whatever is beneath us, which actually looks like a cute little café or bistro is not operational. I'm not sure what the story is down there, but apparently it is part of Franco's pizza bar, which for the moment I am boycotting until I get over the nasty manner in which she treated us. Oh and we had a roach in our room- that wasn't great. And the TV remote didn't work right. Conclude: I always measure food and entertainment and attractions on the basis of "would I do it again". Here yes I would book at the Hyatt Pl., Ocean City oceanfront Hotel again for its convenience and very small but cozy and comfortable accommodations.

Sound was well insulated too, so we didn't really hear the neighbors. We need a hotel room with a kitchenette, which this provides -- negative with the room was simply not having enough basic amenities which is simply housekeeping error in advance of arriving guests. Simply need to make sure you have the proper number of bowls, spoons, plates, you get it ... so guests don't have to call down and get that addressed. Not the end of the world. Hallways and lobby were honestly some of the better quality / cleaner ones I've seen versus other OCMD hotels (e.g., Holiday Inn, Hilton, etc.). We would have like the ability to eat on our balcony which was a bummer -- no table out there like other hotels provide -- just a convenience thing. Parking, however, is a rough one compared to these other hotels I've listed. Spots in the parking garage are tight, navigating the parking garage is a tricky as you also are accommodating condo owner restrictions, and a lot of people pull up to the front to check in like it's some huge hotel - so the entry way can get crowded. We just parked on the street near the building. I never dealt with the manager, so can't speak to other people's complaints about her, but the front desk staff were nice to speak with and addressed my inquiries, and phone staff were pleasant. The pool is fine. It's key to have such a big pool available for families, but it will get crowded during the day in peak season, and the pool only opening at 10 for kids doesn't make a lot of sense. No idea on the fitness center -- we're going to the beach for vacation, not to make YouTube content in a fitness center. Again the net was positive and met the families' needs.

In true resort fashion, there are many amenities on site including dining, spa, leisure, indoor pool, etc. There's even a coffee shop, souvenir shop, and arcade on site. The indoor pool is perfect for non-beach goers and those simply wanting to enjoy the relaxation of indoor swimming. The pool is located at The Atrium where there is an indoor tiki bar and mini arcade. During my stay there was a live band performing in The Atrium which livened an otherwise gloomy beach day. Right outside the beachside entrance to the pool is a bar and grill. You can walk out to the beach from The Atrium. There's a beach service available to rent chair, umbrellas, and cabanas. Multiple payment options are available. The suites overlooking The Atrium offer a great view of the pool, bars, and the floor to ceiling glass giving open sight lines to the beach. The room accommodations were very good. Very clean and spacious. There is parking on site in two areas: connected to the hotel, and across from the main entrance. It can be a nightmare to find convenient parking during the summer after hours. I found myself returning to the hotel shortly after dusk every day just to get a parking spot near the hotel entrance without having to park on the top level in the garage. During my stay, the parking lot connected to the hotel seemed to also be a storage space for the hotel, making for tight spaces in some areas. Nevertheless, on site parking is always a plus. Overall, a good experience at this hotel.

The "thousand yard" traumatized stare of the young foreign bookends working the breakfast nook was a bit odd, but they were effecient and hard working. The breakfast is standard, there were hot items (meat, scrambled eggs, potato), oatmeal, cereals, fruit, also different breads and pastries. You would have to be pretty finicky to not find something to start the day. Coffee and tea are available 24/7, and they have a little pricey mini-market. Overall the place definitely has a dorm vibe to it. I haven't lived in a dorm in 45 years, so it had no particular appeal to me, but I wasn't bothered by it. There always seemed to be music playing, it wasn't too loud or anything, it felt a bit liked forced festivity. I could do without that. The room was large and clean, very spartan in setup which I kind of like. Minimal works. I don't need drawers but for some reasone because there weren't any I felt a bit deprived. I saw a review that mentioned storage, that must be a different kind of room. The shower was very good, hand wand and traditional shower head, good water pressure and hot. The wand has "thrust" sensation. The bed was comfortable enough, but not as good as other places I have stayed (I am a bit spoiled by my Marriott properties preference). I didn't book this, it was selected by travel team at my employer. We got a govt. rate for a conference I was attending, but still $325 a night [no way its worth that], location, in-season and conference in town. Yes corporate greed and price gouging is a thing. On third floor so no particular view, I had a sense of the ocean from my room window and understood the concept of the bay on the other side of the condos I could see from the elevator lobby window.
