6/10 Good

Cried into my craft beer after checking in

Pylled in, and immediately realized I'd made a mistake. The property is not like the cheerful photos at all. Musty, very small room, too many disappointments to list, but it was clean enough to keep me from leaving. Would not return.
Jessica, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I would definitely stay here again.
Diane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Have stayed here before and its perfect for those quick getaways or week long stay!!!
Jennifer, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Adequate but definitely low-end lodging
Deborah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, a little dated but to be expected as it’s an old school motel, very quaint!

Some Pros and Cons

Pros: Room was very clean and the mattress was comfortable. Looked freshly remodeled. Cons: bathroom layout and room furnishings were not well thought out for resident’s comfort. You cannot stand at the sink without your calves touching the toilet bowl. No vanity. Large people would not fit this room. No place to hang coats or clothing. Hard surface floor with no door mat and gravel drive made for gritty feet. Very poor overhead lighting. And, I’m not comfortable with a window in a motel door with no curtain .

Fall color trip

Small, quaint place to stay, perfect for our color tour trip. Friendly staff, room was checked each day. Bathroom was a little on the small side (I’m 6’3” tall) but it worked. Could use a little cleaning under bed (dusty). Would stay here again.
Garry, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was exceptionally clean except for spider webs & spiders in some corners. The beds & pillows were very comfortable. An older quaint hotel close to Main Street where there were stores & restaurants in walking distance.

Little Gem

This is the cutest “Ma & Pa” locally owned motel. We were able to socialize with the manager, which was nice to see a face that took such great care of the place. Would stay there again. Frankfort is a must see little town

Hostess was so nice and helpful! Quaint hotel with nice room, comfortable beds.
Annette, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient and economical for this town. The room was clean and comfortable for our visit to relatives
Katheryne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very simple, no flair, exactly what was need for the couple of nights away. Very clean. Don't expect a large bathroom, bedroom area because it's a definite 60's/70's motel that's been kept up very nicely! Downtown area is quite a few blocks but a very nice walk!
Christine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Bay Port Lodging is centrally located along M22 and all the trails I love to hike. The room was clean, warm, and very comfortable. Staff was helpful and friendly. This is my second time staying here and I recommend it to others.
Heidi, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and comfortable. Room was small, but not surprising for an older property; however, the proximity to dining, shops, and the beach more than makes up for it. It was perfect for our stay.
Anna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Melissa was awesome. The motel was super cute & very clean. I would highly recommend & I will return!
Kimberly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfectly situated near beach, shops, and dining. Staff was wonderful and accommodating. Beds were comfortable and you have ac available to adjust temperature. Appreciate having a fridge and microwave for use.
Yasmine, 2-night trip

Cute and clean. Close to town and Lake Michigan. Older facility. Outdoor sitting area.
Leslie, 2-night trip

Nice to have a small refrigerator with a freezer to make ice. Door to the bathroom was warped & wouldn’t shut. Overall- good.

Frickin Awsome!!! Got almost 9 hours of sleep! So clean and warm and comphy! Will be back!
Kathy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This property has potential but there needs to be some renovation of the property. The screen on the door had holes in it and was loose around the edges; the screen door also had a huge gap at the bottom sufficient to allow critters in so we were reluctant to keep it open. The towels were excellent and hot water plentiful. A shelf or someplace to put things in the bath would be welcome.
Allison, 3-night trip

Hard to check in. Nobody was at the desk. Had to call and call.

Chilly review

decor was very nice. lost heat during night, it got down to 60. tried calling but no answer. Talked to a lady in morning and she stated heat was repaired day before. She offered refund or another future night stay. I chose the second option since we would like to come back in future. Unfortunately, I have not heard from them by email or phone. Also killed several small spiders in bathroom.

Tiny room, 2 regular size beds but bathroom door, an object of discussion in itself! too small for a two bed room! Clean.
