The place was very clean and nice! My only complaint is that the free breakfast is only for two people a day. So if you are a family of four, you have to pay for two. And the breakfast definitely wasn’t worth that.

Understaffed in all areas. Breakfast is poor unless you wanted cereal and muffins or barely warm food. The gas firepits are nice but bring lots of bug spray if you want to be out after dusk.

The property advertises that has a pool however Anchor Inn does not have a pool, you have to go tho the next door property to use their pool. At our arrival while checking the room, I noticed the bathroom was dirty and the sheets of both beds were dirty, we were moved to a different room, so that was inconvenient after we unpacked. We will never stay again in this place. Too much money and is not worth it.
