Frequently Asked Questions
Do the rooms have a/c?
Yes! All of our rooms have a mini split unit that provides air conditioning and heat. Our One Bedroom, King w/fireplace, and Two Bedroom cottages have a gas fireplace that also provide heat and a cozy atmosphere.
Is there a coffee maker in the room?
There is a coffee maker in every room! We provide prepackaged, filtered coffee pouches for every room. You simply add water to the machine, open the package, place the filter coffee pouch in the coffee maker and press start! The filter pouches are compostable too!
Can i check in after the office closes?
Absolutely! While our office closes by 6pm, you can always reach us by phone call or text for any questions concerning your stay. We will text any late arrivals with instructions for after hours check-ins to the number you provide in your booking.
When I book is the whole payment due?
As a general rule, yes. The total bill is due upon booking. When booking online, the total bill will be charged on the card you provide. When booking over the phone, we also charge the full amount. The only exceptions are in instances where the entire inn is being booked out for wedding groups. We can make payment arrangements over the phone.
Can i smoke on site?
You are welcome to smoke away from the rooms. It is NEVER okay to smoke or vape inside the rooms. We may charge damages for any room that has been smoked in that is not able to be smoke-free by the arrival of the next guests. We ask that all smoking be done away from the rooms and other guests. We desire to respect all of our guests at the Anchor Inn.
Do you offer aaa, military, or other discounts?
At this time, we do not discount these stays. We do offer promos on our Instagram a few times a year, and you can check out what our active promos are here… https://www.anchorinn.net/promos
Are there dishes / bedding?
All of our rooms have the bedding and towels needed for your stay. Housekeeping will come by periodically to change out what is dirty for fresh towels. There are coffee makers, cups, and wine glasses in all the cottages. There are also plates, pans, and other dishes in the 1&2 Bedroom cottages, as well as the Lake House.
Is there breakfast on site?
Unlike many chain hotels, we do not offer complimentary breakfast. We do partnered with a Grand Rapids-based bakery (Rise Bakery) for a breakfast that can be purchased when you are booking a room online.
Is there a lounge or a large common area?
Unfortunately, we do not have any large, indoor common areas for guests to hang out in. We do have several picnic tables around the cottages and some chairs by the fire. You are welcome to temporarily move them around a little for your group; just remember to be respectful of other guests spaces.
