"Won't be back"
Rogerw303, 16 Septembre 2026

We stayed here one night on a quick getaway to visit friends in the area. Very disappointed in this place, considering the reviews. We had requested a pet friendly room as we were travelling with our dog, and these are all on the first floor. If no pet, would suggest a higher floor for better views. The hotel in general, and our room in particular, is showing its age and could benefit from an overall refresh. Lots of areas with chipped paint and a musty smell. In our room, the bathtub was dirty, and there was a long dark hair on the floor which definitely was not ours. One of the grab rails in the tub was loose, as was the hook on the bathroom door. The worst thing was a big dirty mark on the bedsheets. Not acceptable! We ate in the restaurant for dinner which was good. The included buffet breakfast was a different story. All the supposedly hot dishes were barely warm, and the overcooked scrambled eggs looked like they had sat there for hours. For the price (over $400 CAD for one night including pet fee and taxes) we expected much better.

"Great value for Campbell River."

Excellent value. Room was great, staff very friendly and helpful. We used the restaurant twice for dinner and the food was great and fairly priced. Service was a little slow when it got really busy. If you want the best views that are not impeded by the roof of the restaurant you need to be high up. Floor 6 or 7 . We were in 614 and it was lovely.

Four of us stayed one night, midweek. Our room was clean. Our beds and pillows were comfortable. We had air conditioning. They had free continental breakfast with nice views. Indoor pool/hot tub, closed. Book early and save.

"Not great but… okay"

It was… okay. Great location it's seen better days there is an axe throwing area beside the hotel at the end of the parking lot it seemed really out of place. For a dog friendly hotel they had no grass. The view is spectacular and the breakfast was good.

This is a great hotel! Friendly, helpful service. Beautiful room with awesome views. Restaurant & food were great too. My steak was cooked to perfection (rare). Our server, Kei was fun! Close to town, I would recommend the Anchor to all!

"Pacific ballroom"
Hazel S, 03 Mai 2026

We rented the ballroom for my husband's Celebration of Life. Cathy and staff went above and beyond to make our occasion even more special. The ballroom was beautiful, the view spectacular and the snacks we ordered were perfect. Thank you so much Cathy and staff. It made my day truly special.

Went there for breakfast with friends. The good: great view; nice server doing her best. The bad: overall the food was bad. The ham on the bennies was thinly sliced deli ham. The sauce was scant and not hot and the eggs overcooked. The pancakes were not cooked through and the maple syrup was “fake”. No choice of breads for toast and the bread used was “cheap”. They were out of breakfast potatoes (!) but tried to accommodate with potatoes wedges which were just ok. Apparently there is a new executive chef there and he is revamping the dinner menu but if his team can't make a decent breakfast, how can they make a good dinner. There are many much much better places for breakfast in town. Skip the great view and go for great or at least good food.

"Delighted with delicious food and drinks!"
DayTrip13760313153, 24 Novembre 2025

Dropped in for drinks and appetizers late on Saturday afternoon. We were amazed at the ocean view and pleasantly surprised at the high-end quality of the service, drinks, and food. Can't recommend the calamari and seared tuna enough! Cocktails were absolutely delicious and beautifully garnished with a local ladies' gorgeous dried fruit creations!

"So-so"

Seems like an older property that has been superficially upgraded. The onsite restaurant was quite good. This was booked as part of a package with a wilderness lodge. Confusing layout and not very convenient for handling luggage. We asked for a taxi to the airport and the agent booked us on a shuttle that cost $20 per person! The taxi ride would have been that much for our whole group of 3.

We loved the location right on the ocean. Room was clean and spacious. A bit dated but it was clean and didn't smell so that is more Important. It was missing a chair, the only chair was an office type chair- not comfortable. Nice view from our 2nd floor. The balcony had no table to put drinks on so that could be easily rectified. Breakfast was a buffet- cereal, potatoes, eggs, juice, coffee. The lack of meat was noticeable. There is laundry on the 4th floor which I used. You pay $4 for wash and dryer was free. Quite reasonable! Staff were friendly throughout. Loved our stay.
