We read the reviews on TripAdvisor and booked at the Anaco Inn. Told the women on the phone we were impressed with all the good reviews. When we pulled up were puzzeled, because it's on a dingy side street across from a lumber yard. I made the mistake of signing the credit card slip before looking at the room, because of the reviews. The room was depressing, the beds sagged, everything was dingy and depressing about it, including the small view of some shed out back. It was then we realized there was a Anaco BAY Inn as well. I believe all the good reviews here are for that hotel, although we didn't stay there. We told the manager that this wasn't going to work for us and would he be kind enough to credit the money back. "You already signed it" he snarled. We tried to reason with him saying we needed some good rest and only had the weekend. He said he would fix the fireplace that wasn't working. We told him that wasn't the only problem but he wouldn't budge. We left and stayed at another hotel, Island Inn where we had a fireplace and view balcony, nice breakfast and people. So final note DO NOT MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS AT THE ANACO INN. ANACO BAY INN MAY BE FINE BUT I CAN'T VOUCH FOR THEM. ONE LITTLE WORD IN THE NAME COULD MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

We remember these people very well because 99% of the people that visit here are satisfied with our service. We try hard but there are people like this. They stayed in the room for 30 minutes and used our facilities and broke our thermostat which controls the fireplace. Then they started complaining that this was not a smoking room and that we did not allow them to smoke in there. Those are the only two things that they told the front desk attendant. I told them personally that this is a non-smoking facility when they made the reservation. I also told them that this room does not have a view. Our villa units are the only view rooms. We have nice firm beds and a jetted tub in the room. These are very nice large rooms and we have people staying weeks in them. They even tried to threaten the front desk person that they were going to put a bad review on this site I am sorry that they did not enjoy their stay but we are not going to let people take advantage of us. We have one of the nicest hotels in Anacortes and we pride ourselves upon that. Our entire staff has earned every good review that has been put on this site as well as others. A lot of our guests are return visitors and many others say they will definitely stay with us next time they visit Anacortes and recomend this to others.

Not only is this a verry nice hotel but it has a great location. It is two blocks away from the grocery store and a very short drive to the ferry terminal. Right across the street their is a trail that follows the water. I went with my wife and she loved it. Room 206 was not available so they gave me room 205 and it had just as good of a view as 206. The Front Desk help was great. They listed off some great seafood places. The continental breakfast was nice touch. I will definitely stay there again in the future.

The Anaco Inn was a great stay especially for the price. The staff was extremely knowledgable and made my stay pleasant. This was truly my home away from home. I recomend this place to everybody.

I stayed in room 206 about a week ago and it was very spacious and the front desk clerks were very helpful. The room was very clean and had a great view of Mount Baker. Also, the refinery at night is gorgeous. I highly recomend to everyone to stay at this hotel. Next time a I am in Anacortes I know where I am staying.

floors and walls were very dirty. Linens were torn and soiled. Suite was spacious for the price. We checked out early even though our stay was non-refundable and stayed @ the Majestic, where for $30 per night more (although less square footage) we enjoyed the luxury of going barefoot w/out worry and slept in good clean linens.
