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.

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

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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!

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

Allison

Disliked: Amenities
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.
