I and my 2 brothers-in-law recently stayed at your hotel over the Columbus Day weekend. We really enjoyed your hotel. The room rate was reasonable, your staff is very friendly and courteous, the cleaning service was excellent and your continental breakfast was great. We did plenty of saltwater surf fishing, caught some fish (two keepers) and had a very enjoyable... More

I spent countless hours reviewing hotels/motels online before settling on the Royal Anchor (thanks TripAdvisor!). Boy, did the effort pay off!! Yes, the RA is no frills, but there is no other way to get the perfect location at reasonable rates. The RA is clean, has everything you need, helpful staff, free continental buffet breakfast - and then the best... More

The rooms are clean and the grounds are very well kept. The staff are friendly and helpful. We arrived early and they had a place for us to change so we could hot the beach and they called our cell phone as soon as the room was ready.

This hotel is well kept. The view of the sea from our room is excellent. The room prices are very good for being right at the beach. There is a heated pool that is kept very clean. No pets are allowed.

The rooms are non smoking, however guests are allowed to sit outside of any room and puff away. Since there are no windows, you need to have the sliding door open for air. With the ocean breeze, the cigarette smoke comes right into the room

Our family has been vacationing in Old Orchard Beach for years. This year, we decided to try out a different hotel. So glad we did! The Royal Anchor was perfect. The hotel rooms were clean, well appointed and attractive. The grounds were lovely and the pool was delightful. In addition, the hotel is located on the best stretch of beach... More

Great location, in quiet, upscale part of Grand Ave away from the crowded and densely populated area of OOB. Just the spaciousness of the lay out with hotels far apart is relaxing. Assigned parking is a plus, so no looking for a space. The rooms are okay as far as size, not that large, but doable. They are absolutely immaculate,... More
