The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean. Every morning there was coffee and fresh bakery donuts. It is right on the water and walking distance to town. We will definitely stay here again.

The staff was friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable. We weren't facing the water but a simple walk around the building and we were on the beach. We had a wonderful time. Frankfort is a wonderful town with plenty of shops and restaurants, and a convenient drive up M22 to Sleeping Bear and the Leelanau peninsula was fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone!
