Location perfect.
Pros:

There is no reception, so you check in at the bar. However, the staff were warm and welcoming. The room was clean, but in need of updating.

Cons:

When having a shower the power which wasn't great anyway reduced to a trickle and then turned cold.

Convenient location. Needs attention to the details.
Pros:

Well placed for catching ferry. Food good and friendly staff. Complimentary water a good idea. Warm room with comfortable bed . Nice bar.

Cons:

Stains on carpet in room. Toilet seat needed holding up. Poor lighting- too dim and not flexible enough.
Better direction signs for room 15 (can only see sign once you’ve gone too far up the stairs). Hard to unlock the door. No clear sign in and out procedure.

Great overnight stay in the centre of Troon with great view of the seafront and excellent service.
Pros:

The anchorage staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We had a minor issue with the boiler in our room so as a gesture of goodwill the staff upgraded us to a larger room and made the process easy and relaxed.

The McCallan Suite is beautifully decorated and large. It was clean and comfortable and made our overnight stay in Troon memorable. The sea-facing view was an incredible sight to wake up to despite the rain. We enjoyed a local pub dinner before travelling back home.

Highly recommend the location! The staff were definitely the highlight.

Good stay overall stay in a nice hotel with plenty of parking and breakfast options. Dated rooms but overall comfortable
Pros:

Downstairs bar area full of character and charm, generally very clean and smelt fresh from the use of air fresheners. The front was nicely painted with lots of patron parking available. Our room was comfortable with nice pillows, duvet and mattress. The big walk in wardrobe was ideal for storing suitcases and larger items. Staff were helpful with check in and other bits we needed. The breakfast lady over this weekend was lovely and on the ball! Perfect location for what we needed as well as close to local amenities. We would stay again.

Cons:

The upstairs and rooms however were not as charming, the rooms are basic and could do with a good paint and refurbishment (carpets lifting, radiators wonky and marks on all walls) Our rooms had no major faults other than the kitchen fan next to the window but that didn’t effect our sleep or stay (just an observation that may effect others).
We were staying alongside some friends and their rooms unfortunately were not as welcoming (broken windows, sockets falling off walls, no automatic lock feature on door, questionable swivel loveseat in front of a full wall to ceiling mirror). The garden and smoking area looked tired and not the best kept but I’m sure once the trees have grown back it will be lovely.

We had great fun with old familiar friends , but we would have had a good time wherever we were
Pros:

We gathered at The Anchorage hotel to connect with good friends visiting Troon from Australia. the bar and staff were fantastic , as was the beer garden. I booked a twin room with a friend at the top of the hotel. The room was very tired but the bedding was crisp and clean if nothing else was. We enjoyed our stay but i would say not to expect too much from the rooms. A clean bed to sleep in but please don't look behind them when you think your glasses have fallen down the side.

Cons:

The room we were in could do with a wee makeover but we camp a lot so as long as the bed was clean...and it was.
