The stay was great and would definitely stay there again.
Pros:

The check in was simple to understand and convenient. The room was spacious and clean. Parking was easy and directly in front of the door. I would definitely recommend this hotel. The room had everything I needed.

Cons:

It was chilly and there were no instructions on how to use the AC/Heater. I did manage to figure it out after trying all the settings.

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. Beautiful room and wonderful staff available when called.
Pros:

I liked that the rooms were very tidy, clean, and had a wonderful beach atmosphere. It felt very cozy and I was impressed upon walking in.

Cons:

I will say, I have had my thoughts about staying in motels. Mostly due to the depictions seen on TV and such. So, i will say the upon first glance the outside did spook me a little, but once I saw the room I was happy. I do wish there was a little more security other than the one lock on the door. Maybe adding a latch would’ve provided some more comfort for security

We had a great time at the Anchor Inn!
Pros:

Great value for clean accommodations at the beach. Pet friendly and close proximity to the beach. Security cameras, plenty of parking and keyless entry, made us feel safe. Friendly staff available with a great attitude. All made for a great weekend mini vacation.

Awesome stay, want to come back!
Pros:

The bed was super comfortable, the room was clean, the motel is across the street from an awesome breakfast spot and right next to a delicious sub shop/dairy queen and a couple blocks away from the beach.

Cons:

The pool wasn’t open due to city permits updates which is understandable, but we weren’t informed beforehand until we had tried to go and it was locked.
