this was the first time my boyfriend and i stayed somewhere alone. as always we wanted a place, safe, clean, and cheap and we got all of that at Anchor Motel. We were skeptical at finding a motel that was good but Anchor was everything we were looking for. close to boardwalk/beach, very clean, friendly and accommodating staff, said that if there was no parking to come into the office and they will get it straightened out

Staff was kind and welcoming, the Motel was a short walk away from the Seaside Heights Boardwalk, directly next to the fire/police station, the atmosphere was safe and accommodating, the pool was clean, it was a nice retreat after a long day of walking the beach, boardwalk, games, rides, food and many margaritas. Rooms had AC too, absolutely wonderful <3

The apartment was dated, but perfectly suitable for a week at the shore. The staff were amazing, friendly, and helpful. I did not know ahead of time that this location was separate from the actual hotel and that the pool was a few blocks away from us.

I stood for a weekend and the whole experience was positive. Check-In and Check-Out was easy. Staff is very friendly. I would totally recommend this place. I will be returning mysellf. The only thing is I wish the rooms had more outlets for electronics.
