Negative Reviews
negative:
Temperature control.
The lack of temperature control in the rooms has been flagged by several guests. There have been reports of rooms becoming warm and stuffy, as well as rooms that remain chilly throughout the night. In each case, management has responded and it is reported that the inn is working to rectify the issue.
negative:
Sound drifting into rooms.
The inn is perfect for party-goers, but if you are looking for a peaceful weekend with the family then you may need to search for a more subdued atmosphere. The pub is very popular, especially on weekends, and the sound has been known to drift into the rooms. There are numerous accounts of loud music and noise from the pub continuing well into the night, with some guests claiming that they were unable to sleep.
negative:
Limited parking that fills up fast.
Keep in mind the limited amount of parking if you are planning on driving to The Anchorage Inn. Street parking can get busy on weekends, so try to arrive early in the afternoon if possible.
