Reception team were very helpful and there was a nice swimming pool, but the hotel felt run-down. Catering was haphazard so we bought food from the large supermarket 10 mins walk away to cook in the room. Nice balcony to sit and watch the view.
Friendly staff... an the place is clean .. the room are in excellent condition

The property is being renovated and the restaurant is no longer owned by the Inn. Great little rooms, pool was nice and clean, but stop and grab some groceries just in case the restaurant isn't open yet. They do still serve breakfast while the new restaurant owners are getting ready for full service meals. Girls at the front desk are a joy and very knowledgeable.
The friendly staff . An it’s easy access to a lot of things . The pool is also very relaxing

Internet and cable are unreliable. The server and router are installed but the service is intermittent. Phone was constantly trying to relocate signal. As per announcement I expected transportation. There was not a shuttle to/ from airport they don't provide this service. On weekdays the Restaurant operate from 7-10 am for breakfast and 7- 9 for dinner. There is no food or vending machines to get anything to eat on location in between these hours. Front desk redirect guests to walk to nearest supermarket (estimate 1/2 mile) in a street without sidewalks. Pool and surroundings needed maintenance.
Nicely decorated for Christmas!
Clean room, sheets and towels.
For the quick stay that I had on Antigua, this was a great spot to be based out of. The price is reasonable. The staff is great and very helpful.
The shuttle from the airport (as advertised on their website) is no longer in service.
staff was very helpful and friendly!!! great location close to the airport and most attraction..beaches within walking distance..

Honest Assessment of the Anchorage Inn
Staff were excellent. The reception area is clean and in a fairly good condition. However the rest if the hotel does not fare as well.
Premises badly in need of a make over. Fabric tired. Facilities non existent. No tea or coffee in rooms although there is a coffee maker in some rooms with a microwave while others have a kettle with microwave. There are fridges in the rooms. Very disappointing.

The property need to upgrade. The toilet shakes plenty when you sit on it. The bathroom rusty. No ironing board in the room
Proper ongoing maintenance was allowed to deteriorate, the quality of the building is in need of a refit and repair to an acceptable level befitting a property on the Anchorage drive, there is a lack of professionalism in the front office staff, and that should be kept even when all around you is falling apart, when lacking it over shadow the brilliant effort being made by employees trying to put a positive spin on things.
Rain water falling from the spouting and wetting you when going up the stairs. Water remaining on the landing .

The property is a bit out of the way, there was a grocery store within walking distance. Air-conditioned, nice grounds. The rooms could use some updating, quaint and a secure feeling. Nice deck. Down side was shower and toilet not in the best working order, the pool was dirty. What was a real plus was the great staff and the little restaurant quite frankly had some of the best food in Antigua. For the money not bad.
Great location, excellent value, clean and friendly, loved the Island, hated the roads and lack of signage

This is a 3-Star accommodation - do not expect resort style status. I stayed there Feb. 20-27/19. For me location was great - a nice walk into St.Johns, $8 taxi ride. Hotel is rustic and could do with a little TLC but always clean, has a nice pool and restaurant. Had a few gliches with first room but staff attentive and tried to rectify but when not possible did a quick upgrade to a nice room overlooking pool. This is a family run hotel for past 20 years by 3 sisters and a friend who try so hard to give you a comfortable stay - I found them approachable and so friendly - the housekeeping staff were awesome. I would definitely go back to stay there again and wish the ladies all the best - you were great.
The office closes quite early,providing access to my room only by walking around the side towards the back,it was scary since I was alone. When the office is closed so is the switch board,in case of an emergency you cannot call out.the WIFi is very weak.
Anchorage inn is in the countryside 2 miles from st johns and a mile from Dickenson Bay.It is on a dark road at night.There is a good 1st choice supermarket nearby.Whenever I moved there was no kettle, no microwave, no gas cylinder for the gas cooker and the H and C in the shower was the wrong way round.However I only needed to tell them what was wrong and they sorted it out the next day.However I was given a gas kettle so had to get some matches to light the gas! The staff were friendly and helped where they could.They found out if a bus was in the area otherwise taxis could be ordered.the other guests were also quite friendly and helpful sharing transport.It was a large room with a large King size bed with a nice outlook on the nature reserve.There were pelicans and storks nearby .However some dog owners let their dogs roam out on the road.They were a bit intimidating at times but did not generally cause an excessive problem .It is only a mile to Dickenson Bay where there is a nice beach and catarman trips can be booked.However a bit out of town for st johns.I went mostly for the cricket but the ground is 5 miles the other side of st johns.
