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 !

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.
