Anchor Inn is Whittier's everything-building, and almost everything we know about it is secondhand. The Whittier Chamber of Commerce lists rooms, a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, a general store and a coin laundry under one roof, open all year.
Our road estimate puts Terminal 1 about 0.7 miles away. With no taxis in Whittier, per Holland America, that's a walk with your bags.
The inn's own site wouldn't load for us in September, so nothing here comes from Anchor Inn itself, and none of the Chamber's details scored.
Call (877) 870-8787, ask about the room, the car and breakfast times, and check in at the restaurant.
Book it if
- A late-season or winter Whittier night
- Breakfast and laundry under one roof
