We had a short, comfortable stay. The staff member was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, the bed was very comfortable and firm, and the location was quiet. The Anchor Inn provided an inexpensive alternative to staying in the Watkins Glen area, and was only a couple minutes from downtown. We'd definitely stay here again.
