William
The pictures shown of the outside decor didn't match up. The front units looked ok, but the rear units had an ugly view. 2 box springs were leaning on a tree near our front door. They could have fixed a lot of the eye sores in hour or two. The good news was the room interior was entirely re-done.- Paint, floors, bathroom and furniture were nice. It looked a bit like a flop house for transients that was fixed up. The price per night was ridiculous given what it was. This should be a $150 dollar room at the height of tourist season. The room itself was nice enough, but I won't be returning.
Ram
For the $240 a night the amenities and stay were below expectations
Kate
Clean and easy check in. Might be good to get check in instructions earlier in day or day before. Better coffee. Materials on places to eat in Frankfort and things to do like the bicycle trail etc…
Scott
For the cost I won't go back, very limited accommodation, no hot water just warm, unites being updated but needs work. Not a $230 a night place.
Thomas
The staff made us smile every time we were made aware of the attention they paid to the guests & facilities
Peter
I should say right off that the owner is renovating all the rooms and the one we were in was nice and clean, with a good shower/restroom. But pretty spare. Perhaps they are getting around to improving the grounds, but were in the back building and it was dirty, ash trays outside rooms. We almost left when we got there. Back area needs major improvement. But, he might be improving it.
Sara
Room was small, clean, and staff was good. Located in town, walking distance to shops and beach. But the room was very over heated and noisy due to thin door to adjacent rental.
Clark F
Nice clean place at an affordable price, located just a few blocks from downtown Frankfort. Perfect location.
Laurie
Lovely little Inn
Brandi
I enjoyed the room and it appeared freshly renovated.
Seth
Great location!
Bay Port is in a great location near everything there is to do in Frankfort. Whether you are coming with your family or traveling solo, BPL will provide a great experience. The check-in by \"texted door code\" worked out very well, and I was able to go straight into my room upon arrival on the property.
The property/grounds manager, was talkative and filled with great information. I very much enjoyed my conversations with him. Housekeeping does a great job, as my room was very well taken care of for my arrival. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of channels available through DirecTV. It worked out well to be able to watch so many games on a sports-filled weekend.
Thank you, and I will definitely return.

CALEB
Clean room, easy check in/out, great location. Instructions easy to follow
Ami
This is such a cute motel! Our room was big and clean and clearly recently remodeled. It felt more like a bedroom in someone’s home than a motel room. Mandy was very helpful when we needed it. It’s an easy walk to downtown. We would go back in a heartbeat!
patrick
Great town 😁😁😁
Tina
Liked the quaint place. Older place, lots of updates done, whould of liked someplace to set a few things in bathroom maybe small shelves and hooks. Bed was comfortable. It was clean and comfy.
Robert
Clean friendly service was great.
Kathleen
Cute and clean
Very cute motel centrally located to enjoy Frankfort. It has been recently updated and the rooms (we stayed in 2 different ones) were VERY clean.
David
Besides Hotels screwing up my re reservation and booking me a 1 bed room when I had booked a 2 bed accommodation. Luckily where we were staying had an extra room that my friend could stay in. They are very cool and took care of us, which was greatly appreciated.
Amy
Everything was great! The maintenance guy was my hero, he got rid of the big spider & web on my car.
Troy
I liked that the mini cabin was in it's own building.
Emilie
Summer stop
The room was cute, served its purpose. But with laminate floors, we tracked a lot of dirt in and around the room. A rug at the door would have been helpful. Also, there were some areas that could have used a little more cleaning attention (cobwebs near the base of the bed frame). Never saw any staff. There was a sign with a number to call, but it would have been nice to have a real human in the office during the day for quick questions.
Elizabeth
Motel
Very clean, updated motel. I never saw a human except other guests. No ice machine. Small refrigerator and microwave both worked. No box of tissues. Basic for the price. Frankfort is a delightful town. This motel was near the edge of town.
Bonnie J
The food in the area was pretty good.
The beds and pillows in the rooms need a desperate upgrade.

Very kind staff -comfortable , clean room , good location
Steve
If you like a clean early 1960’s place to stay this place will work for you.
Connie
Keyless entry is convenient. Close to beach and dunes.
Sandra
Overall, the room was clean and cute, it could have used a picture on the wall or maybe a little more decoration. There needed to be more outlets, especially near a mirror, there were no outlets in the bathroom, which was difficult. We were there for a wedding And there needed to be more hooks/places to hang clothes up. The property was a little unkept. The staff was friendly and helpful though would consider going back.
Jeffrey
The staff were very nice and responsive.
Jessica
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.
Robert
cozy
Mary
Room not like what was depicted in photo. Looked like an empty college dorm room. Just green walls, a bed, 2 unpatching g old table stands, a table and 2 rocking chairs. Nothing on the walls. Dented mini refrigerator. Extremely old small bathroom. Not worth the price we paid.
John
They helped me charge my EV
Susan
Perfect for the price.

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 .

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.
Lynn
Contacted the property ahead of arriving because of a confusing email I received. They were able to confirm our reservation and checked us in over the phone, which allowed us to continue our sightseeing and not have to worry about it. The bathroom was small but the water was hot. One downside is that since it's on a main road there was lots of traffic noise in the morning.
Christine
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!
Deborah
Adequate but definitely low-end lodging
Garry
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.

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.
Michael
Great, clean room. Walking distance to downtown and the beach. We loved it!

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.
Peggy
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
Diane
Nice to have a small refrigerator with a freezer to make ice. Door to the bathroom was warped & wouldn’t shut. Overall- good.
Diane
I would definitely stay here again.
Joanne
Hard to check in. Nobody was at the desk. Had to call and call.
Katheryne
Convenient and economical for this town. The room was clean and comfortable for our visit to relatives
Heidi
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.
Steve
The property was very clean. Nicer towels and hotter water would be a great improvement but overall a nice place to stay.
Kimberly
Melissa was awesome. The motel was super cute & very clean. I would highly recommend & I will return!
Leslie
Cute and clean. Close to town and Lake Michigan. Older facility. Outdoor sitting area.
Annette
Hostess was so nice and helpful! Quaint hotel with nice room, comfortable beds.
Scott
Room was clean but a little small. We were OK with it since we just slept there but not meant for a family or anyone who wants to hang out there.
Verified traveler
Great location. Close to town and the beach. Management super helpful and friendly.
Barbara
Room was clean, but towels, sheets, tv…pretty much everything was substandard.
Kenneth
Just ok. Strange smell in room.
Kathy
The best
Frickin Awsome!!! Got almost 9 hours of sleep! So clean and warm and comphy! Will be back!
Stephen
Simple, clean, and comfortable. No complaints.
Jennifer
Have stayed here before and its perfect for those quick getaways or week long stay!!!
Yasmine
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.
Anna
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.
Marie
Room smelled like smoke.
Russell
Older property but clean and well kept, will stay there again.
Rich
Modest room size, however very clean and walking distance to town , the marina and boat launch.
Jeff
Front Desk Manager very helpful!
Jan
The bed was sagging when I got in. The drains drained poorly so I was standing in water and had to rinse my feet after getting out of the shower. Had crickets in my room, the first night I killed one and the second night I had one climb on my head and swatted it on the floor and killed it but there was another one in the room which chirped all night so between the bed and the cricket I didn't get much sleep. The pictures in the ad made the property look much better than it was in person.
Jennifer
Nice stay, not to far from the beach on Lake Michigan. Nice place to stop while exploring Lake Michigan and its amazing beaches.
Jennifer
The little motel that could
The Bay Port Lodging motel was clean, quiet and conveniently located to the town of Frankfort as well as the beach. We were able to walk everywhere, including a nearby grocery store. Highly recommend for your stay in Frankfort, MI. Staff was friendly and helpful.
James
Lovely visit.
This place is lovely. Like most Michigan motels, you may find yourself in a small bathroom situation. My only suggestion is if there are issues with hotels.com or Expedia, the owners of the hotel should deal with payment problems. Also, plant flowers in the windows! There used to be more color and flora.
