The search for a good hotel in Frisco usually turns up the same glossy photos of mountain views, but the real question is what happens after you drop your bag. Everyone knows Summit County runs on tourist traffic, yet the lodging options here split between ski-in ski-out condos with hot tubs that smell like chlorine and roadside motels that haven’t been updated since the Eisenhower Tunnel opened.

The Hyatt Regency in Dallas gets all the press, but that is a different state, and frankly, a different species of stay.

What matters here is proximity to the Frisco Bay Marina and whether the continental breakfast includes those sad, wrapped croissants. Read on for the honest breakdown.
