this was the first time my boyfriend and i stayed somewhere alone. as always we wanted a place, safe, clean, and cheap and we got all of that at Anchor Motel. We were skeptical at finding a motel that was good but Anchor was everything we were looking for. close to boardwalk/beach, very clean, friendly and accommodating staff, said that if there was no parking to come into the office and they will get it straightened out

Staff was kind and welcoming, the Motel was a short walk away from the Seaside Heights Boardwalk, directly next to the fire/police station, the atmosphere was safe and accommodating, the pool was clean, it was a nice retreat after a long day of walking the beach, boardwalk, games, rides, food and many margaritas. Rooms had AC too, absolutely wonderful <3
