9.0/10

My stay at Harbor Lights Resort was wonderful, with clean and comfortable accommodations and a fantastic view of the lake from the balcony. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach and close to downtown, making it easy to enjoy local dining and shopping. However, access to laundry facilities would have been a nice touch, and while the rooms were nice, some had a slightly dated feel.

We had a one-bedroom condo that was scrupulously clean and featured comfortable furniture and a firm mattress. The view of the lake was better than expected, though some rooms were a bit plain.

I stayed at this resort for a weekend and appreciated the beautiful beach nearby, which was perfect for a wedding event I attended. While the room was somewhat basic with limited views, it served its purpose as a place to sleep. The price felt a bit high for the accommodations, but the helpful staff made my experience much more pleasant.

I had a great experience at Harbor Lights Resort! The staff went above and beyond, especially when they called to return my pillow that I left behind. The location was simply stunning, right on the beach, perfect for a winter getaway. However, the room we had was a bit plain and dark, which took away from our experience a little. Overall, I would definitely come back, especially during the summer when the beach is more inviting.

My recent stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! It’s just an hour away from Traverse City and perfectly situated near Sleeping Bear. The hotel offers a variety of room options, and I loved being able to walk into town for shopping and dining. The beautiful sunsets on the lake were breathtaking. We had a bit of a hassle booking our room because the first person we spoke to said they were fully booked, but thankfully, a second call helped us find the right accommodation. The overall vibe is very laid back, making it a perfect getaway.

Harbor Lights in Frankfort is truly a gem for family vacations. With fantastic accommodations and a stunning view of the marina, it's the perfect place to unwind and make lasting memories. The friendly staff makes the experience even better, always going the extra mile to ensure our stay is delightful. However, the hot tub was out of service during our visit and we found some rooms could use a bit more storage space for clothes. But overall, it remains our favorite spot for relaxation and family fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed the indoor pool and grounds, which were well-maintained, but it was disappointing that the hot tub wasn't operational during our stay.
