Really un-friendly!! I have a called a few times inquiring about a room. They act like I'm bothering them and its an inconvenience to answer the phone and answer and questions.

This was our first trip to New England when I booked in August I found most places couldn't accommodate us for 7 days. Royal Anchor Inn had a room with no balcony so I reserved it. When we arrived they were able to put us in ocean view room with balcony then 3 days later moved us to ocean front! I cannot say enough good things about the property and the owners and staff. The place was immaculate inside and out, the breakfast though continental had a wide selection including coffee all day. The tiki bar had live music 5 afternoons a week and drew a large fun crowd including locals. Nice heated pool plenty of comfortable outside seating including beach chairs at no charge on the private beach. This place is run right!Nearby activities: A mile from amusement park, restaurants and shopsSafety: Nice mix of rentals and residential neighborhood felt completely safeWalkability: Couple restaurants and a small market nearby. Amusement park about a mile away

I have never stayed here but have been a few times to sit by the beach. And listen to the live music. The setting is fantastic, and the bands have always been really good. The parking sucks and there is only one option for food, which is just OK. There is an outside bar, but drinks are pricey, in my opinion.

The location of this hotel is fantastic! Right on the beach. The lack of AC is really something. With the fan running and the patio door open all night, it was pretty hot. The bathroom was also tiny and the water pressure was a small trickle.

If the beds and pillows were more comfortable then this would be the best place to stay. We absolutely loved our stay here but we had to go to Walmart and buy pillows to get some sleep. The view, the pool, the private beach, the tiki bar, and the location was perfect. The hotel was cute and clean.

Stayed on a Monday night. Room was clean and comfortable, enough towels provided. The whole place was VERY quiet in the evening. Easy parking. Beach access & chairs are great and a cool pool/lawn area. Staff were friendly and housekeeping did a great job. There is a water and ice machine right out front.Couple of notes. Cost for parking after check out is $15 for the day, you can use their bathrooms though so it's better than other places. Cost for a guest to park is $25 for the day. Cost per person in the room after two is $15 (our booking only showed the price for two people I guess - so we paid $395/night). Snack bar is convenient - $10 for grilled cheese, nachos w/ tub of dip, $3.50 for ice cream sandwich, $14 for margarita, etc.Will definitely stay here again. Very very clean and quiet compared to other places I have stayed in OOB. 4 stars just due to the cost for the value.

Always amazing, whether it's with friends, family, a partner or children!! Right on the beach with lots of amenities & options for food, drink & activities. The property is always clean, & well maintained, the only recommendation I have is to implement & supply returnable containers for bottles & cans; those who travel from out of State or from out of the country may not realize these bottles & cans are refundable or may even bring some that are not refundable, but the option should be available for return or at least recycling.Rooms: Rooms are always so clean & spacious.Nearby activities: Pier is not too far, some would say it's in walking distance & I feel it is for the most part, however it's at least a mile or a little more.Safety: Well lit & an abundance of visible hotel staff.Food & drinks: The tiki bar & snack shack are great with many good options!Noteworthy details: Live music every night we were there adds to the fun atmosphere!

We had a great stay at The Royal Anchor. The rooms are a great size and the private balconies are an added bonus. The service was excellent from everyone we interacted with. The location is close enough to walk into the center of town but far enough away to be away from all the people. We will be back!

Our family has been coming to this hotel for the past several years! All of the hotel rooms have a view of the ocean. The kids love the pool! There is a bar that has live music three days a week. The stay includes a light breakfast that includes boiled eggs, pastry's, baggers, muffins, cereal, and fruit. The rooms are clean but there is no A/C, however this has never been a problem with us as the breeze is perfect!

My family has been coming for 20 years for the relaxing atmosphere and prime location right on the beach. This will likely be our last. There is loud music all day at the tiki bar (5 days a week!), and attracts a public crowd. On our last day, there was a saxophone covering club music all day… could be heard down the beach it was so loud. We had to close up in our rooms for some peace. Also, if you sit on the beach within 10 yards of the tiki bar, they will tell you to move… some signs would be nice? Hope new ownership steers the RA in the right direction and honors their long-time patrons...

Horrible, unfriendly and loud. They play music so loud you can't even enjoy your vacation or have a conversation with each other over the music. You can even hear it on the beach and can't escape it no matter how far away from it you try to go. The owner of the hotel is a jerk that doesn't care that it's too loud and really mean about it. Plus there's no air conditioning so you can't even go into your room away from the loud music because you'll sweat and feel heat stroke. If I could leave zero stars I would.

Super clean, family friendly resort in nice quiet location. Been going here since the mid 80’s and hopefully it stays as nice in the future as it always has been.
