We love Anchor Lodge! The rooms are comfy and the view is amazing. The balconies, while lovely right on the water, are not very private. But the fun creatures in the river make up for it and it's worth the stay.

Great stay, pesky flies.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, the view was awesome, and the bed was comfortable. Our only complaint would be the amount of pesky little flies.

Bare bones kinda place

This motel is old and it shows. Bare bones kind of place but I was on a budget and they had the lowest price in town. Location is great down in the NOYO harbor. Bed was Amazing, very comfortable, nice newer TV and one of the coldest mini fridges I’ve run across. Harbor light just purchased it and looks like they are doing some updating .

I believe the rating on Expedia came from a different hotel. That owner purchased the hotel we stayed in. The rooms were crooked, walls slanted, floors, crooked. Room smelled of smoke from years. There was no ice machine, nor could the people called tell us where the ice machine was. There wasn’t one, but they said we could get ice across the parking lot from the lounge which is also owned by the same hotel company. Stay away from this one.

A unique room located on a pier in Noyo Harbor. Yes, it's dated and the walls are paper thin. But the location. Watching Sea Lions. Boats cruising by your balcony. Deer on the opposite shore. It was overcast on our trip but I've seen spectacular sunsets from the harbor. You hear the occasional chair upstairs in the restaurant. But it closes at 8. (and closed on Wednesdays) Room was clean. Beds were comfy. Leave the door open at night and enjoy the sea breeze with the distant foghorn. The property was sold early July 2025 and plans are to close and rebuild it. Hopefully this will be successful as it's such a cool location.

Not even close to an 8.0

The one positive would be it was clean. Everything else was not as expected. It was rated at an 8.0 if it would have been a 5.0 or maybe a 5.5 we wouldn’t have an issue. Self check in, no one to contact. Super dated and floor, doors were so badly sagged with gaps.
Huge gap under entry door. Won’t let me share the video how bad the slant was in room the golf ball took off running.
Dated
Shower so small my 6’4” body had a hard time in it
Curtains were see through
