We stayed for two nights at The Anchor! The room was newly remodelled and very clean. The owners were very nice upon check in. We happened to mention when chatting with them that we were in town celebrating our anniversary when we returned to our room they had left us a bottle of wine and a note for our anniversary.... More

We go to Geneva on the Lake 2 or 3 times a year, but we just found this gem, and this will be the only place we stay. Its conveniently on the east end of the strip, well within walking distance of all the restaurants, pubs and other attractions. The owners are very friendly and its obvious that they take... More

We only stayed 1 night. It's a great location, friendly owners, CLEAN, and loved the rustic pine walls! I would recommend this place to anyone staying in the area. Will be back on a return trip and spread the word about this place.

It is difficult to find good reviews of hotels at Geneva on the lake because so many are older and not updated. Not so with the Anchor Hotel. The motel rooms were renovated over the off season. Our room was small but we expected that... Enough room for a king sized bed and a small table and chairs and tv... More

Went here last year for a family/friend get together. It was great. The location is fantastic. The place is at the far end of the strip, but it is still easily within 15 minutes walking of even Adventure Zone. The owners were what set this place apart from any other place I'd been to. They were extremely accommodating and they... More

I am going to attempt to give the most fair review for this place as possible. Mostly because I feel the owners are extremely kind and trying to do a good job. I would highly recommend they watch 'Hotel Impossible' though. It's best to tell this review in a story fashion. I arrived at the hotel and was warmly greeting... More

We had a good experience making reservation and checking in. We were put in Unit #4 at the front of the motel facing the road. It was late Sept and the season was winding down. This is a typical older motel with knotty pine walls and sagging beds. The location is great within walking distance to everything in town. The... More
