I would definitely stay here again.
Diane, 1-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!
Jason, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

10/10 Exceptional

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

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.
Rebecca, 1-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

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
Peggy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Close to town and the beach. Management super helpful and friendly.
4-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

8/10 Very good

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.
Lynn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

8/10 Very good

The property was very clean. Nicer towels and hotter water would be a great improvement but overall a nice place to stay.
Steve, 1-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

10/10 Exceptional

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

8/10 Very good

Nice to have a small refrigerator with a freezer to make ice. Door to the bathroom was warped & wouldn’t shut. Overall- good.
Diane, 3-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.

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.
Robert, 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

8/10 Very good

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