Just okay stay

The room was a good size and location was great but the tool condition was disappointing. Very out dated dirty and staff was not helpful. The air conditioner worked great but the baseboard heat was on the entire time as well. The staff did not know how the turn it off. Half the room was hot the other was cool. More than 1/2 of outlets didn't work so it was hard to charge phones. We had to unplug the lights to do so.

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.

Affordable & convenient room

Check in was easy, kitchen, room & bathroom were clean. We needed a kitchen to cook considering the ever rising cost of eating out. Only insignificant issues were the small/short full sized beds, ac unit blasting heat onto then balcony making it unusable and being assigned a first floor room directly over a restaurant. Cafe noise wasn’t the problem but the delivery trucks slamming doors at 4:45 in the morning were. We didn’t sleep well.

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.

I had a positive overall experience during our stay at this motel, which is conveniently located near the beach in a popular tourist city. However, I felt disappointed that there was no self-service laundry facility on-site, and the nearest laundromat in the city was not within walking distance. I believe adding a self-service laundry facility would greatly enhance guest convenience and satisfaction, especially for those staying multiple nights.
