Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very old property. I’m sure it was beautiful in its day. The outside property was pretty and landscaped. The rooms were dated, furnishings broken, moldy smell, bathrooms needed a desperate heavy duty cleaning. Floors needed sweeped. Crumbs under the desk area. Lots of extra fees we were not aware of. Pool area looked nice and fire pits outside. We didn't use any of that. Tried to get a map from the front desk. Nothing. No information about area available. Many times no front desk staff around to help. Breakfast was laden with carbs. You could walk to downtown. There was a little marina we walked around.

We reserved a harbor view through Expedia. When we checked in, we were put in a pool view. They were fully booked so they couldn't move us to a harbor view. The only reason we chose this hotel was for the harbor view. Very disappointing.

The property was well-maintained and nicely decorated. We spent a hot afternoon in the pool and enjoyed the harbor view. The room we stayed in was a double and was comfortable. There was one real problem, however, in that the bathroom had a very strong mildew smell. The odor was so strong that we had to keep the door closed and spend as little time in it as possible. We think the shower curtain was the source; we saw some mold and mildew spots on the bottom of it.

Great location in Hyannis. Room had lovely view and deck though we weren’t able to use because of nor’easter. Small dining area had a nice selection of snacks and a small breakfast. I would stay again when visiting. Our only knock was the mattress on the bed was very soft and could be changed out.

Comfortable, convenient motel in Hyannis

We really enjoyed our stay at Anchor In. The staff at the Reception Desk was super friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and well-equipped. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel is also in a great location - walking distance to the harbor, good restaurant and museums. The free parking is also a plus. The one improvement I could suggest, would be to add a few more healthy options for the free continental breakfast that’s provided. For example / there’s already a toaster, so why not provide bread for toast (in addition to the bagels and sugary pastries provide).
