Steps away from the beach

Rooms are rather small but clean. Location is excellent - just across the street from the beautiful, not crowded beach. Beach with a lifeguard (which is important to me since I travel with small kids) is just steps away. A short drive to seafood restaurants and such. We will sure return.

Safe, convenient location. Right across from the beach! There is a pizza place and ice cream shop a couple miles down the road, and seafood options. Might house also very close. Great location! Great service! If i was going to critique, its my personal preference, I prefer white towels :) so, if that is the only critique I can give, i would 100% stay here again!

Love the location of the Anchor Motel, having the beach across the street was so pretty, thankfully the weather cleared, and we were able to explore all of Narragansett and Block Island

Cute and cozy

Very cute little place with a great view of the water. If it had been a warmer night we couldve slept with the windows open and heard the waves crashing against the shore. Would definitely stay again when in the area!
