Super small, but quaint room. Very convenient for all of the harbor restaurants and shops. Shower is super small, but definitely suits your needs.

Great stay, pesky flies.
We really enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, the view was awesome, and the bed was comfortable. Our only complaint would be the amount of pesky little flies.

The online check-in and checkout was easy to use and the room was clean and comfortable. Water temperature in the shower could have been better as it only got slightly warm.

We love Anchor Lodge! The rooms are comfy and the view is amazing. The balconies, while lovely right on the water, are not very private. But the fun creatures in the river make up for it and it's worth the stay.

Bare bones kinda place
This motel is old and it shows. Bare bones kind of place but I was on a budget and they had the lowest price in town. Location is great down in the NOYO harbor. Bed was Amazing, very comfortable, nice newer TV and one of the coldest mini fridges I’ve run across. Harbor light just purchased it and looks like they are doing some updating .

This place is hidden gem. The rooms are clean, online check in is easy and fast, they have codes for the rooms, so no need to go in and register. Staying in a working Harbor is exciting. Watching boats go in and out, the fog horn in the background, everything you need right there within walking distance! My first stay was 10 years ago, I try my best to stay here everytime I visit Fort Bragg CA.

Amazing view
The harbor view room was amazing got to see sea otters and a seal. Lovely view of the sunset. Not to noisy considering the restaurant above the room. Would definitely come back. Plus the restaurant has a dog menu and outdoor seating to enjoy dinner with pups!

Clean. I wanted a low-cost motel, but I was a little afraid of how grungy some of them can be. It ended up being quite clean. Good for the price we paid.

This fun and quirky roo. Right on the water was very clean and comfortable. It was a day the restaurant was not open so it was very quiet.
