Suzie and the office was absolutely amazing and helped us so much with our trip with suggestions!!!!
Staff was very friendly and welcoming! They were also very helpful about information about the town and things to do. The location was very good and we were able to walk everywhere in town and it is very close to Acadia.

Nice but not great
The hotel was nice, but not great. It was clean for the most part, but there were stains on the carpet and on the furniture. Bathroom was clean, beds were clean and comfortable. Great location. Just needs a bit of updating.

The Anchorage was in a convenient location close to the main street. We had a king room. The bed was very comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great.
Michelle and Susan were helpful. All of the staff we met were terrific.
It was a very nice stay.
