I required an overnight stay in Anacortes due to early morning surgery at the local hospital. Neighbors on Shaw Island highly recommended this inn, and my wife and I were not disappointed. The manager (owner?) was courteous and friendly, and even upgraded us to a lovely, large, quiet room with a gas fireplace at no additional charge. The owners obviously care about having attractive accommodations. According to my wife, the continental breakfast, while somewhat limited, was good. For the price (I had booked the AAA rate), the Anaco Inn would be hard to beat.

we just left this wonderful hotel and really loved it. The location was SO quiet even though it might seem otherwise when you first drive up. The owners were so nice and everyone we came in contact with were very helpful. Great restaurants nearby. The person at the desk when we checked in was so friendly and didn't miss a beat when I asked to look at the room before we checked it. We had a nice fireplace which came in handy because it was cold there.
Please don't hesitate to stay at this hotel if you want a great and peaceful experience. We have traveled all over the world and can't say enough good about this hotel. I'm picky, picky picky about where we stay.

TERRIBLE PEOPLE. Made reservation in 01/08 for our lodging May 21-25, 2008. Stay started out OK, fairly clean rooms, nicely decorated. Continental breakfast was nothing and only had coffee one day.
We were attending a seminar in Anacortes and I was informed on the 23rd that even though we had a reservation through the 25th the person at the front desk told me he booked someone else in our room and we neede to leave. I informed him we are not leaving we are staying. I went to the office 3 times and no one would come to the front desk. We were in a seminar the morning of the 24th when I received a call from the manager of Anaco yelling at me and telling me we needed to be out of our room by 11:00 or he would throw our clothes out. I told him we paid for the room and if he touched our clothes I would contact the police on him.
Very upset my wife left the seminar and loaded up our car. We paid for this room well in advance and didn't have a room on the last day of our stay.
The manager and I believe his wife, mid eastern, were very rude and unfriendly. I will now dispute my charges along with filing formal complaint with AAA. I heard of other folks that had reservations, but the manager sold their rooms to other people.

We stayed at this hotel in February and returned again in March. This time we stayed in room 206, a wonderful suite with a bay window, high ceilings, gas fireplace, and two separate bed rooms, one with a queen, one with a king. We had an even nicer stay this time. The living/kitchen area is light, bright and overlooks the water, the refinery (very pretty at night) and has views of Mount Baker when it is clear. The staff and owners are very nice and helpful. The beds are great, and it is kept very clean. We had need to book a standard room for some additional family members. It was just fine, functional and the beds were great.
During our last stay in February, we had trouble connecting to the internet. The owners recently installed a new internet system, and we had great connectivity this time.
I would highly recommend. The hotel is homey, convenient, clean and well located.
