The staff was very accommodating, especially Sandi, you could tell she was passionate about her job and making sure guests felt welcomed and had everything you needed for your stay.
My wife and I chose Hyannis and the Anchor In Hotel for its location close to the airport, the village ($12.00Uber fare) and walking distance to all the tour boats and ferry’s to the islands. There are two popular restaurants in the adjacent marina and a small beach nearby for watching the sun set. The pool is nice and the staff friendly and helpful.
Beautiful, clean, spacious room. Breakfast was simple with lots of options (bagels, pastries, granola bars, fruit, etc.). Beautiful views of the harbor. Close to downtown Hyannis.
The pictures online do not do this property justice. It was much nicer, warmer, and more charming than we had anticipated. But what really stood out was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Rocky and Dale were amazing! And the tradition of flying the flags of the countries of its guests was charming. We will certainly stay here again the next time we visit the Cape!
We got here a little before the season, but it was the greatest little find. It’s kind of a sleepy hotel but they really do a nice job in the common areas. Very cape cod’y! The staff was incredible (Sandi), and our room had a pretty incredible view, with tons of space. I would definitely find a way to stay there again.
Absolutely returning to this magic property. The staff was so kind and helpful. We loved coming to breakfast every morning and catching up with fellow travelers on their plans. The rooms were impeccable and the view was spectacular. Five stars!
Wonderful and charming property. Good location, very friendly staff, and a nice shared area with tv, games, and tea/coffee/lemonade all day. We liked the breakfast too. We would definitely stay here again.
Everything starting with the rooms, the pool , fire pit, common area’s, and to the staff ( esp Sandi ) was amazing. The only one little negative was due to the busy weekend they were unable to fulfill early check in’s when it was being offered through the site. Other than that you will not be disappointed with this place as they make everyone fell at home. Thank you for you wonderful stay.
Lovely big room with a balcony and sea view. Huge comfy bed. Fabulous staff, good breakfast and amenities. There are bikes, beach chairs etc to use for free...didn't want to leave. Great location on cape cod.
The hotel staff were extremely accommodating- ready to help right away with any minor issue we had during our stay! Very clean, although a bathroom update would be nice- the patio was nice for just relaxing and taking in the view. I would highly recommend.
This is a well run, charming & unique property. The staff is outstanding. Room waa great - lots of space and our balcony/deck was wonderful. Would definitely stay again.
We really enjoyed the fire pit and views in the evening. Location was great. The bedding was comfortable. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was convenient for mornings we were on a schedule. Bathroom was small, but we would definitely stay there again.
The staff are wonderful. They did an amazing job renovating and it’s very well maintained-rooms and grounds. They are well behaved dogs - dog friendly. Little treats for my dog. Gathering room with refreshments and family games daily.
Lovely continental breakfast daily. Quiet and lovely. Highly recommend.
Exceptional customer service and front desk. On arrival, extremely helpful and warm. Breakfast was a large variety of foods, and the hostess there was excellent. Could not help more. We had a large balcony and was wonderful. Pool very nice and watching boats and ferries delightful. Walking distance to Tugboats restaurant and also walked to Black Cat Tavern , both excellent. Would go back again
