Clean room, economical. Comfy bed. Nice towels. Electronic check in process (no front desk) went smoothly. A good place to sleep, rather than hang out since rooms are small.

Nice basic suite
The Anchor Bay was a convenient location to get to beaches, restaurants, stores and boat launches. It was a cute suite to use as a home base for a few days. It would be nice if a small table were added for eating - to go with the kitchenette. Also, the dishes/utensils provided weren’t as complete as we’d expect - ie no cups/glasses (mugs only), no non-stick friendly spatulas, no baking dishes.

Older converted Motel. We stayed in a 2 room suite. We had 2 bathrooms with showers that really helped save time. Area is decent. Access to Cedar Point and other local attractions is extremely efficient. We would stay here again.

Birthday retreat
This place is pristine when it comes to cleanliness. The only recommendations I could make is a night light in the bathroom. Also it could use a light in the kitchenette area. The bed is very comfortable.

Cute and manageable
Super cute from the start. The only thing that was an instant notice was the smell, just musty but it changed once we showered and used our own products so no big deal. The bed was incredibly comfortable and if I would have adjusted the ac unit to blow the fan all night, I would have had a fantastic night sleep. But the ac unit was loud so when it hit temp and turned off it was a drastic change so I woke up every time. The walls are also very thin so having the fan/ac unit on was nice since it drowned out the others and was a comfortable noise to sleep with. The shower head was way too low and that is our biggest issue with our stay. When you’re 5’7” and still have to duck to wet your hair, makes for an uncomfortable shower. Other than that, the location was great and the effort into remodeling an old motel was definitely noticed and done well!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were kind, responsive, compassionate, and flexible! Having three separate living areas allowed us to spread out and having two bathrooms was perfect for three girls getting ready. The space is super cute and conveniently located to recreation, shopping, & dining. We will absolutely stay again when we return next summer. For all the good, there is opportunity to improve in attention to detail. The ice tray was broken, no kitchen towels, one bathroom had only a tiny bit of hand soap left. Walmart was close by and I did not at all mind fixing these things. The bedding was not soft but a quick trip to Kohls fixed that. The beds themselves and the pillows are super comfortable. I'd recommend staying here unless you're looking for 5-star polish. This is for casual stays but you'll have a great time.
