I was with a group that was in town for the fire academy graduation in Montour Falls. We booked rooms at the Anchor Inn and Marina for its proximity to everything. From check in to check out, we had a fantastic experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were very clean and you couldn’t beat the views of the lake.

Very basic amenities. It's not a place you'd want to sit and hang out inside of. They have a balcony that lacks privacy, meaning it is one big balcony going across everyone's back door, so your neighbor will be sitting a few feet away from you. Two 80 year-old guys were out there drinking beer and smoking weed for a long time. I didn't mind, but my wife did due to the smell. The location was great. Perfect for a stopover.

The view of the lake is wonderful. The so-called breakfast was some individually wrapped pastries and just one coffee choice (no decaf) and juice boxes for the kids, essentially not a breakfast at all. The room itself is old, very few outlets and no dedicated charger plugs. No clock. No good places to hang one's towel to dry. Bed was fine. If you want a place to stay and do not care about amenities or breakfast, the room is worth the view of the lake.
