Thanks for checking out our list!  Let us know where you go!

The Anchor was truly delightful. Set just steps away from a beautiful beach and beachside walking path, this well maintained and clean motel is a gem. The accommodations are basic but very comfortable. We loved the small town feel, local fresh seafood and friendly locals. Our first visit to Narragansett and hope it will not be our last. Thank you.
