Anchorage Motel

Great stay especially for the price. Rooms are clean but not any amenities. Bring your own shampoo (but who doesn’t bring thier own anyway). Convenient location to Rehoboth and Lewes. Lots of great shopping around. Will definitely stay there again on future trips. Only downside was no pool.

The positives:
1 Inexpensive
2 Close access to Rehoboth beach and outlets!
3 Clean!
4 Nice staff!
The negatives:
1. Paper thin walls –but when we complained about the party next door to the office staff they called the room ASAP and the noise stopped. But when a person coughs next door you hear them. Also as people walk around on the second floor you hear them.
2 Only 2 small pillows on each double bed.
3. Thin cheap towels and small bath towels.

Front desk only sporadically answers the phone. We tried calling at night because an alarm was going off somewhere (a little beep beep) literally all night long which definitely tainted our experience. The room smelled strongly of air freshener so if you’re sensitive to that, don’t stay here. However, the room itself was spacious, clean and well kept. The check out time is 11 which is an hour earlier than most places. Also, they only provide soap, no shampoo or conditioner as most do. And no breakfast provided. For what we paid, I didn’t expect much, but the biggest issue for me was the lack of response to our calls at night so that the beeping would cease. I would not recommend this place unless you are desperate. Pay an additional $ 10 and pay for a place that actually answers the phone when you call.

As the other reviews have said — this place isn’t fancy. But it’s almost $ 100/​night cheaper than all the other hotels around. There’s no extra shampoo in your room but I don’t need to pay an extra $ 100/​night for shampoo in my room. It was clean and quiet and perfect for the weekend that I stayed. The double beds don’t fit two adult human beings. And you should be prepared for the office to close at night and not open until 8:00 am. There’s a Starbucks across the street because they won’t be serving you coffee at the anchorage before 8:00. But because I am on a budget, I don’t really care about these «drawbacks.» Stay here. Your wallet will be happy.

My husband and I needed an affordable hotel for the night while traveling through the area. I did some research and Anchorage Motel seems liked the cleanest, most affordable option — which turned out to be right.
It was easy to check in. The staff was helpful and the room was clean and cozy. We had no complaints, except for maybe the thin walls. The woman in the room next to us was make very good use of the bed in the morning, if you know what I’m saying. Ha! Whatever, I was on vacation with my husband so we understand that’s what a hotel is good for.
Would recommend this place and stay here again if we were driving through.

When my job booked this motel for me for a work conference, I was a little worried. The website doesn’t make it look great and it’s a motel in the middle of strip malls, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a newer building that’s well-​maintained. It doesn’t have too many frills, but the room was spacious and clean. There’s plenty of parking and it’s only about 10 minutes to the beach. This is a great place for an affordable stay near the beach.

I chose anchorage over other hotels and motels in the area because they don’t have a minimum stay requirement. Ideally I wanted to stay closer to the beach and the boardwalk, but every reasonably priced place I tried to get a reservation for required a minimum two night stay (I only wanted to stay Saturday night). This was true even for the Holiday Inn Express just down the highway. Thus, I ended up here.
This place is really a no frills place but it gets the job done. The room looked clean and was actually more spacious than I thought it was going to be. The woman at the front desk seemed very friendly.
Remember to bring your own shampoo as its not provided here.
Overall, I would come here again on my next visit to Rehoboth.

I’m looking at the other reviews which are several years old. We stayed here Sept. 2012. Place looks completely remodeled. From new asphalt in the parking lot, new exterior façade, and all recently remodeled public areas and rooms. Looks like they did a complete gut job.
The hotel is clean and reasonably priced. They were willing to do one night for us on the Labor Day weekend when other areas had 2 or 3 day minimums
This is a very basic hotel — one hair dryer for the entire place — someone got it before us but then the front desk called and found one for us plus brought it up too our room!
The Ritz Carlton it is not but for what it is and the price I would stay here again without hesitation.

5 stars because its a great value relative to other Rehoboth Beach hotels. That said, its a no-​frills place. You get a clean room, plenty of cable channels, free wifi, a decent location on Rte. 1, a big and well-​lit parking lot, and strong A/​C. Nice people — I booked a reservation and when I arrived I was told that the rate I was quoted on the phone was wrong so they knocked off $ 10 — I never would have known.

the fire alarm was riped out of the wall?
The clientele was… mixed.
Got the job done.

Do you like…
…flies?
…the pungent smell of urine?
…prison-​like bathroom amenities?
…paper-​thin walls?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, Anchorage is the place for you!
