Anchor Motel

Anchor Motel

8/10 Good
"Our upstairs king studio was good value for a one-night stay - staff were friendly, the bed was comfortable, and there were plates etc for limited self-catering. No water coming from the hot tap in the kitchenette meant boiling the kettle to do our dishes. We appreciated the comfortable couch and decent-sized dining set."
