We had really high hopes of our stay in Hyannis at the Anchor Inn. So much so that we booked an extra night. However it let us down a bit.

Firstly the good parts - the staff were very helpful, the view was lovely, the deck was huge and the pool was enjoyed by the children.

The bad - The worst part was that the room smelt of sick. Over the two days the smell never went away and just hung on in the background. The room was very dated - it appears some have been re-furbished based on other comments, but ours certainly wasn't. The decor was old and the bathroom was dirty with plaster falling off. For the price paid we would have expected better.

The beds were also pretty awful - very uncomfortbale and the sofa bed for our third child couldn't be slept on. We ended up putting the mattress on the floor as this was more comfortable. I tried to mention this in passing when paying and was roundly ignored.

Such a shame as the view is better than elsewhere in Hynannis.

My husband and I just spent 3 nights at the Anchor In and we loved it. The hotel was very clean, our room was just renovated and it was very spacious and nice. We had a nice deck where we could sit and watch the harbour and the pool is very nice, clean and relaxing. We would come back here in a second. Great location to the Ferry's, many great retuarants and Main street is just one block away. The staff was very nice and helpful and although small the continental breakfast was a nice perk.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone that wanted to stay in Hyannis.

We recently stayed at the Anchor In for a week in July and it was the perfect hotel for our Cape Cod vacation. The room was spacious, newly updated and well kept by the housekeeping staff. The balcony overlooking the harbor, pool and grounds was a nice bonus - we enjoyed a glass of wine while watching the boats come in. The grounds and pool are lovely and well kept. The staff was exceptionally nice and welcoming, and were always available if you had a question. The free continental breakfast was an added plus - there were fresh bagels, muffins, fruit, coffee and juice.

We will definitely stay at the Anchor In again next time we're in Cape Cod. It's located within walking distance to great restaurants and Main Street in Hyannis. It's also very close to the ferries to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.

Overall, it's a great place!

The hotel looks just like the website photos.
Our room was no frills but had a nice view of the harbor. The landscaping and flowers on the property were very nice. The hydrangeas were in full bloom. Just beautiful.
Great location to walk to downtown Hyannis and ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Have them book your ferry reservation.
Breakfast was nice and convenient.
Only complaint was the air conditioner. It made a terrible clicking sound when it kicked on.
