Sister-in-Law getaway
Love the location of the Anchor Motel, having the beach across the street was so pretty, thankfully the weather cleared, and we were able to explore all of Narragansett and Block Island

Very clean rooms and pleasant decor. Conveniently located at Scarborough Beach. A quiet and safe location to stay. Need a coffee maker in the room. Would recommend this establishment.
Very pretty room. Very clean and the digital key made a contactless check in/out easy.

We enjoyed the smalll motel feel. The beach was right across the street. You are right in the middle of casual dining (Point Judith) and formal dining (Narragansett). Definitely would stay again.

Cute and cozy
Very cute little place with a great view of the water. If it had been a warmer night we couldve slept with the windows open and heard the waves crashing against the shore. Would definitely stay again when in the area!

Pleasant surprise!
Booked this last minute for a road trip and was so happy we did. Cute little motel that is steps from a lovely beach. You can see the ocean from your own little front porch. Very nice!
Room was very clean and recently updated. Would definitely recommend. Thanks!
