The location, staff, amenities, and property were lovely. The only thing that we didn't like was that there was a lot of noise from the adjacent rooms....could hear people talking and plumbing noise. Also, there was a lot of construction on both sides of the property that was quite noisy and actually shook the room. But, we still enjoyed it! Just something to be aware of.

The room was very small with a full size bed (expecting at least a queen) and a very hard mattress. We didn't spend much time in the room because of that. However, the Inn itself is very pretty and offered a nice continental breakfast. The room was very clean. Booked though Expedia and seems to have changed the booking to a lower level room.

Two nights, off season.. total was $731. So let me break down what this gets you. The area itself seems safe but it is run down. The hotel is walking distance about 10 minutes from a few restaurants and the ferry. The hotel itself is dated and needs maintenance. Immediate surrounds consist of construction and port authority as well as a few shanty apartments and homes. The resort fee needs to be removed as they are charging separately for wifi and water- common things that should be included in the room fee and it is at other hotels but particularly at this price. There were zero smores kits. Zero use of pool as it is cold so there is zero use of towels. The garden view is misleading. Unfortunately this hotel is price gouging its patrons.

The staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly ! I was worried about arriving later than anticipated the night we were checking in, but Mary at the front desk assured me that she would be there whatever time we arrived ! She gave my children and puppy treats on arrival. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was lovely. The views were beautiful. We wish we could have stayed longer ! We will definitely be back!

not everything it used to be, but still very nice
Nice stay with excellent front desk staff. This play used to offer an excellent fully stocked breakfast, but no longer does. We also did experience a weak wifi signal which made streaming Netlix impossible at times. The views of the harbor from this complex can't be beat.

The location is on the water (though not on a beach). Location is great, just a short walk to Main St. Rooms are large and beds comfortable. Some of the lower floor rooms in the 2 story units are dark. There is plenty of free parking.

Amazing stay
My family and I were in town last minute because my father had to be hospitalized at Cape Cod Hospital, which is across the street from the Anchor In. I cannot speak highly enough of the service and comfort at this stay; we were under incredibly stressful circumstances, and the kindness, flexibility, and warmth that Mary, Sandi, and the entire staff showed us was unparalleled. The rooms are beautiful, the location is great, and I can't thank them enough.

Sandi and Mary at the front desk were great! Made us feel welcome! Loved our room, it was spacious, beautifully decorated. Enjoyed the “library” where there were cookies, coffee and other beverages one could enjoy by the fire. Also enjoyed sitting outside by the fire pit overlooking the harbor. Truly relaxing!
