What a wonderful weekend we shared at the Sleeping Bear Inn with our dear friends. We were welcomed by a very friendly and attentive staff. Our room was most comfortable and it is evident that they are in the process of updating the Inn. We enjoyed a private dinner in the wine cellar with our friiends one evening. The staff... More

We didn't have reservations for a quick trip after labor day. We stopped at another complex and didn't like it. The staff was courteous and let us look at several rooms. We chose a room with a balcony overlooking main street and one evening ate a pizza and sipped some wine people and boat watching. The room had a great... More

The most important description I can use is to say that service was awesome. We decided to invite 3 other couples who enjoy traveling, to join us. Our wonderful stay at Betsie Bay Inn (Sleeping Bear Inn) can hardly be put into words. First, the new owners are updating rooms. The room we stayed in was comfortable, with a small... More

I am a little surprised there are so many negatives about this hotel... its on the high street of Frankfort (a sleepy little town is an understatement!) We stayed at the Harbour Lights Resort for 5 nights and then our plans changed but they couldn't accommodate us so we walked into Betsie Bay and agreed a last minute rate which... More

The staff people were aloof: Every time we entered the hotel, they failed to greet us in any way (nod, say hello, wave, etc.), unless we spoke first. Ice was only available from the bar, and that's only if you could find someone to let you in there. The bathroom and room were tiny and dingy. There was only 2... More

I was hoping to take my wife to a nice hotel for a day or two away from the kids, I went large and spent the money for a couple nights. The minute I walked in the door I knew I'd blown it. the decor can only be called "Mouse Motel Cheezy" from the prints on the walls to the... More

The Betsie Bay Inn is probably one of the most unique places I have ever stayed in. The rooms have a great vibe they are fun and definetly different. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, they really know how to make you feel welcome. The restaurant had delicious food and I really enjoyed the live music. My room was... More

I can honestly say the Betsie Bay Inn is one of the strangest places I've ever stayed. Did you notice there are no pictures of the rooms on their website? There's a reason for that. Whomever did the decor should consider an interior design refresher(?) course. There is no rhyme nor reason, let alone style, to the room decor. The... More

We made reservations to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary. We have stayed there several times in the past and loved it. The website showed the dining room, bar and wine cellar we remembered. Having everything on site is a big plus for us. We want to relax and do nothing if we like. Upon arriving at the inn, we discovered... More
