I had a pleasant stay at the Anchorage Inn, mainly due to its unbeatable location across from Long Sands Beach, which was ideal for my kids to play. While the room was clean, it was on the smaller side and could use some updates, particularly in the bathroom. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which added to our positive experience. Overall, I would rate it a decent option for families, especially given the beach access! 🌊😊

I had a wonderful stay at the Anchorage Inn, especially enjoying the fantastic location right across from Long Sands Beach. The staff was friendly, and the facilities were well-maintained, providing a welcoming atmosphere for a relaxing getaway.

While there is a limited breakfast and lunch menu available at the hotel, I found the prices to be on the higher side, especially considering nearby options offer similar views for less. The food quality was okay, but not amazing.

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the dining experience at the Sea and Surf restaurant. The food quality was disappointing, with my lobster tasting old and the risotto being subpar. I wish the dining had been better since it could've added a nice touch to my stay.

The hotel had well-maintained pools, which were a great way to unwind. However, I really think they should focus more on room cleanliness.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at the Anchorage Inn. The location is absolutely unbeatable, right across from Long Sands Beach, making beach access super easy. However, my room wasn't what I expected-being right above the underground parking garage, I dealt with a lot of noise from the garage door. While the room itself was nice with a fireplace and heated bathroom floor, the noisy environment during my visit took away from my overall enjoyment.

The room had a fireplace and heated bathroom floor, but the noise from the garage door was quite intrusive.
