Very clean, great location, and quiet. Dave was amazing and very helpful. Kitchen was well stocked. Enjoyed the hot tub each evening. Free laundry was great but the eco dryer required a lot of patience. Dave was very up front about it so we were prepared for the wait.

The room was comfortable and clean. The furniture could use an update.
The room had a really strong perfumed smell like there were several air fresheners plugged in! There weren’t any, I checked!
It was pretty off putting!
The pool was very clean and the hot tub was great! It is in a really nice location, across from the beach and just a few
The manager was really nice.

I was traveling for work and wanted a safe and quiet place to stay. The Anchorage was perfect for my needs. I enjoyed my overnight stay, and I appreciated its convenient location from a variety of dining options within walking distance and right across from the beach. I will certainly stay again on next trip.
