The Anchorage Inn and Marina

The Anchorage Inn and Marina

10/10 Excellent
"Didn’t know no one would be at the desk at check in but figured it out quickly. Each late check in person’s name was on an envelope with keys, area map and a letter explaining everything (which answered any questions we would have had). Room was spacious and clean. Even had a little table with chairs. We would have had a harbor view except for some pretty dense fog. Easy parking and area was quiet. Would definitely stay again. "
