Top Downtown Mmpire Hotel Reviews

Cold Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay. It was clean and location was great for us."

Coastal Suites Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the variety of food and what a cool unique place one block away from Crystal lake. For $109/night, we thought it was a steal of a deal!! Comfy bed but since it’s next to window, would be nice to have privacy curtains, instead of standard shades. Overall, still giving it five stars. We felt like it was a bargain!!"

Hotel Frankfort & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"The new owners are trying very hard to please the customers. It is probably the best full-service hotel lodging option in Frankfort, with an excellent restaurant for breakfast and dinners. It is a short walk to the beach and lighthouses and a great jumping off point for the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore to the north and Arcadia Dunes to the south."

Betsie Riverside Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved out stay at Betsie Riverside Resort! The cabin was so clean! Not just clean for a cabin with a wooden stairway down to river right outside the door, but clean for a nice hotel. The unit was outfitted very efficiently with things like extra blankets, kitchen items etc. The love seat recliner was not new, but it was amazing! The leather so soft and comfy. It was not buggy, so we did not use the screened- in porch of Cabin 6. Very helpful & attentive owners who want your stay to be wonderful. After a cold July night, Chris happily came down and turned on the pilot light, so that we had a bit of heat. That was not in the budget. They struck me as an easy going couple too, considering how much of themselves that they put into making the place so nice and all the details they have addressed. Chris and Misti really know what they are doing. Grocery store nearby down the 2 lane road. Traverse City is great. But driving to see sunset, get pizza, cherry pie and for getting to kayak, bike routes or the the Dunes, I prefer uncrowded, rural Benzonia for base camp. Wish we could have stayed longer and would have if they were not sold out. Thank you for a wonderful stay."
