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

Perfect. Just the essentials. No fuss. No bother. Exactly as advertised. It was cold outside but the heater worked beautifully. Beds were comfortable. Check in and out easy. Do have to drive around for places to eat, convenience store and gas, but it meets the basic requirement of ocean view. Ocean is across the street and in less than a minute your toes are sinking into the sand, one of the best 5 beaches in the state.

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!
