3 reviews for Anchorage Inn
What an awful experience. The non-smoking room reeked of mildew, pets, and smoke. Seems that the extra cots we had brought in were not non-smoking furniture, as proven by the cigarette burns on the blankets. Even after hours of airing out the room, it was still difficult to get past the smell.
Bathroom was dirty, wall paper was peeling (nice vintage avocado green fixtures with pink trim, gold-flecked linoleum floor, and flowered wallpaper) and the toilet leaked. A family suite for 6 came with 3 towels.
Mattresses were a choice between one that was so worn out the springs practically bruised my legs and the support bars of the bed left imprints on my back; and the other mattress that didn't seem to have any springs at all and just sagged strongly to the middle. Didn't actually get much sleep here between the smell and discomfort.
On a plus side, there was free Wi-Fi. Seemed a bit out of place, but I can't complain for the good points.
If you are looking for cheap accommodations, I would still look elsewhere. I have stayed in some seedy places before, and this doesn't have the seedy feel to it, but it also didn't allow me to get any rest. I can sleep in a seedy place if I can at least close my eyes and pretend everything is going to be all right. At the Anchorage, closing your eyes just makes the bad parts of the place more prominent.

Watch out for this place. My roommate worked as their handyman and told me stories about the mold and mildew growing like crazy everywhere. Apparently the downstairs rooms are the worst.

Burlington Int'l Airport is 2 hours away from our town. We have little kids so, when we have an early flight or when the weather gets unpredictable, we drive the night before and stay at the Anchorage Inn. It's less than 2 miles away from the airport and it's situated right in front of the University Mall. The place is not seedy; just don't expect too much from it. We paid $70 a room/night with free cable tv and wireless internet. There's an indoor heated pool and jacuzzi for guests to use too.
