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.

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!

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.

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.
