Anchors Way Inn
"DO NOT. I REPEAT…. Do not stay here. I reserved a room here for a quick trip to attend a funeral. It was the cheapest hotel since I just need a bed and a shower. I arrived to an abandoned looked house with a car on the lawn. No one is picking up the number on the website and the voicemail is full. ..."
