8/10 Good
"The mom and daughter team definitely were the best part of the stay. It’s not nearly as bad as other reviews make it out to be. The rooms definitely need to be cleaned better. The sheets were stained and dirty, and the walls in the bathroom just needed to be scrubbed down. But it’s well worth the stay for the money. There isn’t a laundry room which made things harder but the location was amazing. Right next to shopping and not far from the beach."

"We stayed at the Compass Margaritaville for our wedding anniversary. The staff were so kind, the room was super comfortable and clean, and I would rate our entire stay 10 stars. Summer the bartender was amazing and Jeff was so kind and welcoming at breakfast. The front desk staff were all pleasant and management was very professional and kind. One of the best hotel stays we've had!"

8/10 Good
"We stayed one night at The Anchorage as we were passing through Ocracoke heading for Hatteras Island. We’ve stayed on Ocracoke a number of times in the past but never at The Anchorage. We chose to stay where we did this time based on the pool as my daughter is addicted to swimming right now. And the pool did not disappoint! The view, from the pool, of Silver Lake is second to none on the island! The deck was clean, there was plenty of seating. No complaints! The room was generally clean and comfortable as well. The location of our room wasn’t ideal, but that’s an “it is what it is” thing. There were some aspects of the property that were pretty warn out—doors/locks/windows/light fixtures were all just kind of used up. Not really a complaint as I can’t even begin to imagine the nightmare that upkeep must be between the ocean air, the strong storms, and the constant wear and tear of guests. All of that to say, we’d have no problem staying again when we’re passing through."
