Anchor Motel

It’s nice motel and owners are very friendly and cooperative 8miles far from Niagara water falls.

I enjoyed the older motel vibe here. The owner, Kathy was lovely, sending me a message prior to my arrival and providing great info once I arrived. The king size bed was very comfortable and it was nice and quiet. It is right on the river and close to the falls, you can see the mist from the falls bt the river side. There is a pool, but I did not use it during my short 2 day stay. While food is not offered, there is a fridge and microwave and ice available. If I had to be critcal, to me, the only downside was the tv did not offer many channels and the outlets need replaced as they were loose. But overall, I enjoyed my stay and will be back!

So the lady who checked us in was super kind, helpful and overall a good spirit. The motel itself is old fashion however the pool was cleaned and they were close to the water so you were able to sit outside by the water and enjoy the view, walk and everything. Everything was close by they also had a park not to far down. The pizza was great as well highly recommended.

Kathy was super nice, check in was quick with a lot of information on the area. Room was small, clean, bed was comfortable. We didn't have hot water the 1st night but that was sort of rectified, we had to let it run for about 5 or 6 minutes everytime you had to shower. The view of the river was nice. Facilities could use a good cleaning on the outside and the rooms need to be updates. Pictures online are not accurate.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The lady at the front desk was very nice and welcoming. She was knowledgeable about the area and gave great recommendations of places to go and stay away from. The room was clean and cute. The only complaint would be there’s no coffee but since I’m not much of a coffee drinker that didn’t bother me. I really enjoyed sitting by the river and watching the sunset. You’re close enough to see the mist cloud from the falls but far enough that it wasn’t noisy or crowded. I would definitely stay there again. I highly recommend breakfast at Nelsons Cafe. The food was delicious and filling.

I have very mixed feelings about this motel. POSITIVE: 1. The hosts were very friendly and helpful in terms of providing information on local attractions and safety in the area. Check in and check out were easy. 2. The room and linens were clean. 3. Mattresses were firm (which is my personal preference). 4. There is a clean an deep pool (kids' favorite place) that was open from dawn to dusk. 5. Motel property is right on the Niagara river with beautiful view, you can lounge and sunbathe right on the bank. 6. Location is great, just under 15 min to Niagara Falls. NEGATIVE: 1. The smell of bleach in the room was overwhelming. 2. Things in the room were very shabby: lamps were falling over, the door knob was falling apart (you could keep twisting that lock and not know if you really locked it), there was rust in the bathtub, some floor and bath tiles were chipped. 3. There were bugs (NOT bed bugs, just regular bugs and spiders). 4. Some windows could not be opened to air the room. 5. Furniture on the patio was dirty. Bottom line: if you don't really mind the things that I didn't like, you will find it a good value for your money.

The Motel is very humble, remember it’s a motel basically to visit the falls. The place needslittle more love. The pool is very clean and I saw a priviate company cleaning while I was there. Rooms are cleans. The have some age, but the that the area “style up north. Remember Motel. I think above average.
