What guests say
7.8 / 10 · Good on Booking.com, from 117 guest reviews
The Anchor Motel earns consistently positive sentiment for its unbeatable walkability to the boardwalk, genuinely friendly staff, and reliably clean rooms at an affordable price point. However, it is a no-frills, aging property with recurring drawbacks including cramped bathrooms, no in-room coffee, poor inter-floor noise insulation, and occasional maintenance concerns that staff were slow to resolve. It suits guests who prioritise location and value over comfort or amenities.
