The property is in walking distance to the beach and lighthouse. We were able to enjoy the sunset right after supper. It is updated, clean, and with friendly / helpful staff. There are also plenty of gift shops & restaurants nearby. Two thumbs up !
Unique rooms. Great in-town location, walk to shops/restaurants/marinas. Friendly staff. Clean. Only issue was we had to ask for our room to be made up.
It was clean. No ironing board. Not many room amenities really. Shampoo and conditioner in a small squeeze bottle. Had to go downstairs to get anything, like ice or a second towel.
The food at the restaurant was great . The server was attentive to our needs . The room is good but needs a few updates especially in the bathroom . The door was hard to close and the shower curtain fell off while I was taking a shower . But otherwise we had a good stay .

Restaurant wasn’t open. Should have sent a message apologizing/alert, We had the smallest bathroom I’ve ever seen. We also got the smallest room on the property. Not a great value. Will look elsewhere, the next time we visit Frankfort.
Have stayed at the Frankfort Hotel 3 times! It’s charming! Every room is decorated differently, as seen on the website. Staff are friendly & attentive. Parking is on-site & free. Room & common areas are very clean & quiet. It’s an easy 5 minute walk from the hotel to the Lake & beach in one direction & to the shops & restaurants on Main Street in the other direction. Can walk all the way up & down the busiest section of Main Street without moving your car. It’s a lovely place to stay!
Excellent little hotel right in the center of everything Frankfort has to offer. It is next to a theater and a brewery. Just a block from coffee shops, ice cream shops, and cafes. And only 2 blocks from the beach. The place has a unique style and every room is different. Our room was clean, spacious, with a great stone-tile shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were staying the weekend for a friends wedding celebration. I would definitely stay here again.
Very nice rooms. They are decorated to a theme. Very clean. Friendly staff. Resturant on site. The food was ok, not great. Walkable to other resturants in the town. Cute little town on the water.
