Anchor Motel

For a one night stay it was a good room. We had a problem with the people upstairs stomping around until about 3:30am until I had enough. I called the place she said she’d get in touch with the security guard. And immediately they stopped upstairs. When checking out the woman at the front desk said we could leave our car in the parking lot if we were planning to go to the boardwalk which was so nice, it saved us some money of having to pay for parking. This place was I believe 3 blocks from the boardwalk which lead you right to the pier. All in all I’d stay again for a short trip.

Clean and quiet. JD and his damily are very friendly and helpful. It is a basic motel, no frills but if you want a quiet stay at a great price this is a good spot

I have stayed in many hotels and motels. Depending on the stay I might stay in whatever fits from a 2 star to 4 star resort- not too many 5 stars. I have stayed at Travelodge many times, but also spent a week in a penthouse in Vegas. My point is I don't have high expectations, but expect what I pay for, what is advertised, and to be treated with respect. This place is a run down motel you would find in a slum. The door led right to the street. Best of all, the parking is non-existent. We parked in a spot and parked a little on the the very small sidewalk, the women that works here BERATED- I am not exaggerating she was absolutely disrespectful to both of us - we walked in to ask for ice and they said to go buy it at 7-11 and yelled at us for "parking my car over into one of her spots" It was the side walk- how can you own the sidewalk? She made us move the car a block away to what seemed to be an abandoned house's driveway. Later that night, someone was parked on the sidewalk- so she told them that was a spot. No Ice, no parking and the room is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. The blanket was 50 years old and as thin as a paper towel. All night someone walked up and back and up and back and it was VERY loud so I got like 2 hours sleep for my 13 hour drive back to Chicago- the point of a hotel is to sleep and we even went back at 9 PM to get extra sleep. I never write reviews but after my 13 hour drive I mustered the energy to write this to save others the pain of staying here. The whole experience felt like a bait-and-switch; the photos online are staged- one is literally photoshopped to show a part of the MOTEL that does not exist., because what we walked into was nothing short of a horror show. Plus when I went to leave no one was in the office and I had a 13 hour drive. There are no swipes, just an old key that you have to return- my neighbor left hers in the door all night and there were a group of guys that appeared to be gang members hanging out all night. I was told to leave my key in an opened mailbox- wow that is not safe. I wouldn’t wish this place on my worst enemy."

this is by far the best hotel i have ever stayed atg. the service is amazing. there is no other place to stay. the beer never runs oujt and the pool is the place to spend your trip. the alcohol is plentyful and the management is spetacular. never a dull moment in this place. the management is so friendly and they have a very big tolerance for drunks like us. they can tolerate anyone. anyone. no joke. there has never been a binge like this. ANCHOR MOTEL IS NUMBER 1. ASK FOR RUPAL OR J.D. NO NOT JACK DANIELS U DRUNK. anyways come to anchor motel and u will have the time of your life, that is if u make it out alive. fear and loathing in the anchor motel. i love this place have a nice day

We had a wonderful time. My two adult children and I just wanted to take a weekend getaway to the sea. The motel felt like home and the boardwalk was a few blocks of walk away. Definitely would stay there again. It felt safe and secure right next to a police station. The owner was so nice. The motel room had everything we needed.

The staff is always nice

It was very pleasant, perfect location. Great deal for the price.

Great location. Helpful proprietor. Basic, but clean room.

Family owned, staff is friendly. We wanted a budget hotel and are glad we stayed here.
