Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but not particularly memorable.The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were polite. The room was clean and decently sized, with a comfortable bed and a balcony. However, the decor felt a bit dated, and somethings were a little bashed up. Breakfast was adequate — standard continental fare, nothing bad, but nothing special either. I appreciated the availability of coffee and lemonade in the lobby throughout the day. In short, it’s a solid choice if you're looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay, but don’t expect anything luxurious or standout. I’d stay here again if I needed to, but it wouldn’t be my first pick.

Older hotel with great views of the harbor. Easy onsite parking. Free breakfast and wine and cheese service late afternoon. Nice pool area overlooking the harbor. Not close to restaurants or shopping, though (15-20 minute walk). Good central location for exploring the other Cape Cod towns.

Property location is excellent - on the harbor but short drive/walking distance to Main Street with many shops/restaurants. Plenty of parking. Staff is very friendly! We were greeted with a nice welcome and a tour of the property. We were given great restaurant suggestions! Common areas were fresh and looked to have been updated recently. Our room was on the second floor with only stair access. We are both seniors and it took some effort to get our luggage up/down to/from our room. The room was spacious and clean with a safe balcony that had a nice view of the harbor. The beds were comfortable and clean and there was plenty of seating and storage in the room and on the balcony (seating). There was a strong smell of cleaning products in the room. The room could use a bit of a refresh - paint was scuffed in several areas and it was difficult to access the coffee maker due to very little space. The water pressure in the shower was light so it took a while to thoroughly rinse my long-ish hair. At check-in they offer a choice of daily housekeeping or a basket of towels, coffee, toilet paper, etc. be left at the room. We liked that we had options! We chose a basket. We left our room at 8:30 and returned around 1 and we were happy to see the basket (bag) was by the door when we arrived. Unfortunately, the bag had only fresh towels, nothing else. Free breakfast offered good variety. No recycle bins in our room. Didn't notice any in the common areas either.

Oh my goodness! This is a wonderful Inn. Mary was so delightful! She was a wealth of information about the area, where to go and things to do. She was so much fun. Cheyanne was so kind and helpful also! The environment at this Inn is so peaceful. The room was not just clean and well kept, but absolutely stunning! The view of the harbor is breathtaking! Watching the ferry to Nantucket and all the sailboats in the harbor from the balcony, pool area, and fire pit was so relaxing. Nantucket ferry was an easy 2 block walk. So many shops and restaurants nearby, some walkable but many more an easy drive. We will definitely stay here on our next visits.

Excellent boutique hotel

Comfortable bed. Great location. Nice balcony overlooking harbor. Pet friendly. Complimentary wine and cheese, along with lemonade, coffee or hot chocolate nightly. Comfortable library to enjoy reading or meeting other guests. Heated pool. Firepit lit each night. Continental breakfast every morning. Sandy is truly the heart and soul of the property. She meets, greets, checks guests in, serves as bellman, concierge and hostess. She is a gem. Our only issue was the toilet wouldn't stop running. The parts were not readily available to repair. Sandy offered to move us to another room, but we declined. Would highly recommend this boutique hotel.

My husband and I and pet enjoyed our stay in Hyannis at the Anchor. The staff was truly exceptional - from front desk to house keeping. One felt at home in the common areas - kitchen, gathering room, sitting areas with views of the harbor, as well as pool area. We also had the opportunity to enjoy the gas fire pit in the evenings. Proximity to downtown and restaurants was ideal and travel was so much easier in September than peak summer months. Most areas of the Anchor have been updated, but we were given a king room with a partial harbor view and a small balcony in the wing that has not been. The bathroom is in need of renovation; it is small and dated without proper safety features.
