We stayed at the Crown & Anchor and had a nice time. The rooms were more spacious than I expected but the rooms are in need of a make-over and if you like plush towels and nice toiletries then you will be disapointed, because these resembled what I have at my gym.

The noise from the 3 bars and restaurant is overwhelming. This did not bother us since we were out all night but if you do not plan on staying out at night - you should realize that there is no way you will be able to sleep. However, if you are looking for a convenient home base then this is a great place. The location is the saving grace (as is the friendly and helpful staff).

My boyfriend and I stayed here last Summer and had a great time. The staff was friendly, and room was comfortable. The location is hard to beat. Only downfall was that we paid more to have a room with fireplace and jacuzzi tub - and the jacuzzi tub was brown around the jets and dirty. That was unfortunate, but otherwise we had a great stay.

We just stayed here for the first time in February and was pleasantly surprised. We had a jacuzzi room facing the water with a balcony, fireplace and kitchenette. The room was a good size, although kind of wish there was a small sofa or something to sit on since with the cold, hanging out in the room is a must, but I guess it wouldn't matter in season, when you're not in the room much anyway. Very clean, friendly. Probably nuts in the summer, cause the pool is right below you, but in the winter it's a perfect getaway with the fireplace. I spent two hours in the jacuzzi tub.

The Crown and Anchor offers guests a superb central location for the first time visitor or those wishing to be in the eye of the party hurricane. The deluxe rooms w/ king bed are generous in size and feature large balconies overlooking the pool and bay at the rear. The kitchenette w/ microwave, bar fridge and sink is adequate and handy for snacks and the needed cocktail for the hour or so that you're not at a bar, club or restaurant during your stay. The rooms over the Wave Bar are surprisingly sound-proofed, but plan on staying up till the 1 AM bar closing on weekends which tend to be exuberant. (Yes, that's the word... exuberant.) Staff is genuinely friendly and didn't snicker when my partner and I showed up with seven bags for one week. What they probably said behind our backs was undoubtedly inspired and funny and I can live with that. This probably isn't the place to contemplate and delve into your inner child before painting it's portrait for a gallery opening; this is the place to let the child wail... and have a CD available. Everyone in town seems to have a new CD. Cheers.
