Anchorage Motel

The motel was close to everything and the staff were welcoming and helpful. One of our rooms needed a little rust repair and pest control but it was a wonderful stay. The beds were very omfortable and the rooms were clean and cool. They just had the carpets cleaned when we arrived. It looks like they take great pride in maintaining the property.

The hotel was clean however, the room was extremely wet for some reason seems as though the air conditioner puts a ton of moisture into the room, causing everything that we owned to be damp. We work from the computer and need Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi was not good at this location. We ended up having to check out a day early and going to the Holiday Inn resort in Bar Harbor, which was extremely nice.

A little pricey for a no amenities motel.

If you just want a basic hotel to sleep in and be gone the rest of the day this is the place for you! It is definitely older with some rot in the bathroom walls and you can hear everything. The staff were nice, it was clean, and the location was ideal but it is the most basic low end hotel I’ve stayed in. Lower your expectations and it’s perfect.

First, a couple of positives: The location is good. It is easy walking distance to the Island Explorer shuttle, which is an excellent service provided through the NP Service and private partnership. The bed was comfortable and clean. Housekeeping is provided upon request. The bad and ugly: It is run down and nasty. This motel charges over $350.00 a night. Paneling on the walls is stripped off in places. The bathroom is tiny and has no ventilation. The privacy frosting on the bathroom window is mostly scrapped off, and there was no other window covering. The window did not lock. The bath surround was coming apart, bulging away from the wall. I put on a pair of clean, white socks, and it took only one trip across the carpet to be mud brown. After a few trips around the room, I didn't even want to keep the filthy socks on. The amenities are sparse. No microwave, no ironing board. The maintenance issues are not expensive to correct. An ironing board and microwave are not expensive additions. Not looking for luxury, but bare minimum, decent accommodations. At $350.00 + a night, this can be easily managed. This is nothing but taking advantage of the tourism pull, charging high rates, and providing run down conditions. Checking out, I walked in to the office; said, "We are checking out. I was "greeted" with a brusque "Put the key there, thank you." Not a; how was your stay, (likely afraid to ask) please come again, have a nice day. It wasn't busy. Just chatting. Awful.
