"This was a very good basic discount hotel. Quick check in, large room (bath was small but serviceable), clean, hot water, comfortable bed. Property is older but well maintained. Everything in the room worked, there were some scuffs and dings on the furniture but entirely livable. "

"It’s an older hotel. I had a problem with the cigarette smoke. I was upstairs and people wouldn come right outside their door and smoke. The smoke would then travel up toward my room and make my room smell. I have asthma so this wasn’t good. Maybe get a designated smoking area would help"

"I like staying here. Yes, it's an older property and a bit worn. The price reflects that though. The other near by properties are much higher in price but it's hit and miss on cleanliness and quietness. But here at the Anchorage it's clean. It's quiet. The staff has always greeted me with a smile and are helpful. Whenever I have to come back here for meetings I will stay at the Rochester Anchorage."

"When you picture an old-style beach motel, this is pretty much what you might imagine. Cute and comfy, basic and a little outdated, but still rocking and rolling. The location keeps you out of the more expensive downtown and beachfront areas, which means you save on money, but you will likely have to drive to the restaurants, bars and shopping. And, in busy tourist season, parking in downtown Ogunquit can be a beast, so keep that in mind. On the whole, we had no regrets staying here. Front desk...

"Great place. "

"This property was in a great location. The one king bedroom with kitchenette and full size fridge was spacious. The only true downfall was the super dirty floors. There was no door mat so obviously there was no way to wipe off dirty shoes at the door. Basically with a resort located next to a sandy waterway and parking spaces right in front of the room door, everyone comes in with dirty shoes. The floors weren’t openly dirty but they were gummy and obviously not mopped, only swept. My socks...

"We had a great time staying here with all of the spa amenities. Massage chair is very nice, hot tub, cold plunge and sauna were a great. King bed was comfy and shower was very nice. Heated bathroom floor is awesome. Host was wonderful and accommodating. Typically we look for more private stays but this was definitely worth the change up. "

5/5 Excellent

"Facility and rooms are very clean, and up to date. Uplighting artistic decor. Spacious rooms, with very comfortable beds and beddings. My checking in was timely and efficient. Staffs are professional, efficient, friendly and accomodating. I enjoyed the daily house keeping service availability, my interaction with the staff and the peace and quiet which allowed me to get some rest and do some remote work as well. The facility is conveniently located near highways, shopping area and many points of interest. It can be a home away from home for a traveling person. A sweet escape for singles or couples night out or a place to stay for an events or family vacation."

"Gerry, the front desk agent during the day and Rick (Im pretty sure that’s his name, front desk/night shift) were exceptional, the staff definitely went and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic stay. I can’t say enough about how friendly, helpful, professional, and courteous Gerry was when I checked out and the same for the night audit/front desk staff when I checked in the first night. The rooms are clean, breakfast at the cafe was delicious, and we look forward to staying at the Ashworth again! Highly recommended, thank you!"
