Wonderful location, just down the street from the ferry terminal. Great shopping close by. Golf cart and bikes available. Nice sitting area in front of the rooms. The hotel is old and needs some care. No frills no hair dryer. Dogs allowed which is so nice. We still had a great stay and vacation.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The Anchorage was located in a super location. I loved having the area on our floor where we could sit for morning coffer or an after dinner drink. The bath and beds were great. We had to find towels, the front lock was not working well. When I could not get in I went to get someone who basically said it was me...until he could not get in. We struggled with that the entire time we were there. My main complaint was that the floors were just filthy. We all remove our shoes at our homes, so we did the same but my feet got dirty immediately. We adjusted and because of our response to the door lock, we kept quiet about the floors. I think for the price, the unit should have been clean. We were there 3 nights but we had to go get more towels, more toilet paper and more coffee. Just not my level of cleanliness or service.

We spent 4 nights at the Anchorage and enjoyed our stay. The hotel was neat and tidy. Our room was rather plain but it appeared each room was slightly different and interesting per room variations. However being at the end of the third floor gave us access to a seating area on the balcony with awesome views of the harbor. Also not to be missed was a visit to the pool which has a very unique location in front of the hotel just about in the harbor. 4 stars, not 5, only because the room was plain and bathroom needed a refresh. Great convenient place to stay, especially for pets.

The rooms have recently been renovated and is very clean and nice. The only downside was we had to evacuate due to Hurricane Erin, so we were on Ocracoke for less than 24 hours.

Great location and views

The people there were very nice. The views of the water were beautiful and you could see the lighthouse which was cool. The location was amazing. The ice machine was great a d we liked that the room came with a fridge and microwave. The negatives: The elevator was very slow and hot. Our sheets had a stain on them The shower went from hot to cold a lot but the water pressure was good. The bed was very hard and pillows very soft.

On arrival, expected available parking. There was none as golf carts had taken extra spaces as free parking. Desk clerk had no idea what to tell us and one other person who also couldn't find parking. Office is small, cluttered, ancient looking. Room key (old fashioned kind) wouldn't work. Had to get clerk to show us how to hold and work the knob to get keys to work. Room was clean, bathroom had been updated and was fine. Water pressure was great. Beds were very comfortable and clean. But, we were told (by sign) AC had to be set at 66 and door was not to be left open. We are seniors, we were freezing! We thought, ok, just a few degrees higher would be ok. Nope, they meant 66!! When we returned from dinner, floor throughout was wet. We returned AC to 66 and used the towels to dry the floor. No one in office after about 9 pm. Yes, our fault but we had to spend time in room with sweaters on or under the bedcovers. Parking did become available as restaurants closed and diners left. Hotel is in excellent location near ferry terminal and easy walking distance to Village shops/restaurants. We liked room location on end first floor close to our car. Both desk clerks were friendly and very helpful (as much as possible). Hate to say, but overall we probably wouldn't stay here again.

I like the pet friendly grassy area in back behind elevator area in side yard, with baggie-poo stand (though I always bring my own) and a trash bin handy. Staff very nice and friendly. Beds and mattresses excellent. My room key was a bit rusty and troublesome, but I worked everytime once I got used to it. All good. Will recommend it.
