I had a good two-night stay at Spinnakers, appreciating the spacious suite that offered a cozy living room with a log-burning fireplace and a luxurious jetted tub. The guesthouse's location is perfect—peaceful yet close to the bustling Inner Harbour. The onsite dining was a highlight, though I found some dishes to be overly salty. Overall, it was a wonderful escape! 😊
