Anchor Lodge lives up to expectations

Great location, walking distance to food, dog beach, and a fantastic view. Comfortable and CLEAN room. The walls and ceiling were a little thin, so you can hear your neighbors. There was a raccoon fight outside our room at 1am, and the raccoons kept scurrying around all night. Neighbors upstairs left, and made plenty of noise doing so. Nothing the hotel could have done about it. This is not a luxury stay, but met my expectations and absolutely had wow factor when walking in. Some TLC in the bathroom (replacing sink, counter, bathtub) would be a welcome remodel, but in no way affects the functionality at this point. The bathtub was long enough, but narrow.

The whole building itself appears to lean which is a bit concerning. The self check in was easy. The room was very basic but clean. The surrounding area had loud noises all night including a tone in the harbor that went off every 60 seconds.

I would not recommend this place to anyone

We had to wait 2 hours after check in time to get into the room. We watched one of the housekeepers just sit on a chair and stare at us for over 30 minutes. We were told we would be contacted by a manager in the morning for a partial refund/discount. We were never contacted. The hotel is dated. The door would barely shut and had a huge gap around it. Bedding had holes and burns. We ended up not staying and booking a hotel down the street.

The owners just bought it and are planning to completely remodel it. They were very nice and concerned about our stay. We didn't like how small the room was, and the fact that the electric didn't work in one outlet. We had to go to the office and borrow extension cords so we could use another outlet. The office was at another property they own, which you have to drive to.

We love Anchor Lodge! The rooms are comfy and the view is amazing. The balconies, while lovely right on the water, are not very private. But the fun creatures in the river make up for it and it's worth the stay.

Great stay, pesky flies.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, the view was awesome, and the bed was comfortable. Our only complaint would be the amount of pesky little flies.

Bare bones kinda place

This motel is old and it shows. Bare bones kind of place but I was on a budget and they had the lowest price in town. Location is great down in the NOYO harbor. Bed was Amazing, very comfortable, nice newer TV and one of the coldest mini fridges I’ve run across. Harbor light just purchased it and looks like they are doing some updating .
