My friend and I stay here for a girls trip every year and it’s perfect. Walking distance to the spa and restaurants! The staff is always extremely nice and accommodating. Price is actually reasonable compared to other places.
You could spend a full day in the property without the need to step out. Fantastic for families with kids. Swimming pools and water slides, arcades and dining for everyone.
Great place to stay with a family. Resturants in the hotel. Great game room, multiple pools and mini golf right there! Highly recommend we will be back.
It’s always a pleasure to visit the Bavarian Inn and Restaurant. The people are friendly and helpful. The rooms, shops, pools and all areas are very clean and comfortable.
Construction prevented me from giving all “excellents.” We didn’t need the complimentary earplugs, though. Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland, River Place Shopping, and Downtown Frankenmuth were enjoyable adventures.
Love the uniqueness of having a family in each room. Also liked the complimentary coffee service available 24/7. Clean and friendly staff. Unique place
Is a nice property. It is clean, but very dated. There is no free breakfast, which is offered at almost ever other hotel in Frankenmuth.
There is construction noise all day long, as they are expanding and building a water park next to their existing building.
Was nice, but would not stay there again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are excited about our expansion project, and our contractors work diligently to limit any construction to daylight hours. While it is true that our restaurant does not offer complimentary breakfast, your room comes with passes to the waterpark at no extra charge..
I really enjoyed my room - with the balcony facing the river. Great for morning coffee...which is free 24 hours. We enjoyed our time- The place looked nice- the older pools were nice- but really looking forward to the upgrades in the fall
Dear Roger,Thank you for the PERFECT score on this site. I am thrilled to see that, once again, our Staff and amenities have met or exceeded the expectations of another family or couple. Your simple and quick "positive affirmation" here is appreciated. We are so very excited about the next phase of the Fun Center Opening in later May with the 3 story Ropes Course; 4 lanes of miniature Bowling and 3 - 26' tall climbing walls! Plus another 200,000 in video/arcade games coming.Then... in late Fall (we hope) the big water park opens with 16 MORE slides, wave pool, not-so-lazy river and so much more coming... we look forward to helping you have a BLAST at the Lodge and in Frankenmuth for many years to come! Yep... the waterpark addition will be known as "Bavarian Blast". ;)Jim Engel, C.O.O. - Serving Bavarian Inn Guests for 47 YearsOn behalf of the Bavarian Inn Zehnder Family & the ENTIRE Bavarian Inn Lodge Team
Although there was construction occurring at this time, the service and hospitality was lovely. We enjoyed staying at a less busy time and the service and staffing were still optimal.
This is a great property- keep in mind the decor is intentionally in old German theme. Having said that- it’s was a cool hotel to stay in. The beds and pillows we’re comfortable and I don’t usually sleep well in hotels- but I slept great here. It’s also a great hotel for kids… the new part of the waterpark was under construction when we went but that’s fine- the other pools and water slides were still open!

One of our 3 bedrooms had bed bugs, the other two bedrooms were filthy! Very disappointing! Not sure I will go back!

Hi Maria, thank you for taking the time to post your review. I've had the opportunity to review your 3 reservations (with Kara and Brittany) and found no notes relating to any complaints. I checked with housekeeping, who immediately investigated the rooms and found none of your rooms contained bed bugs. Are you sure you're reporting on the correct hotel stay?
Unique the comfort feeling, safe environment and nice staff. I go every year. Dislike service at Oma’s was not the best experience. Someone with weed smelling made the hallway to my room truly bad the whole hallway smells horrible, I hate marihuana smell. Asked the housekeeper to do air refresher and that contained for a while, later on was same smell again. No ideas how you could fix that but it’s uncomfortable. Regards

Thank you for staying with us a Bavarian Inn Lodge. Unfortunately, guests come in with smoke smell on their clothes, but we always make a concerted effort to ensure the smell is neutralized as soon as we are made aware of it.
8/10 Good

Property under construction. Scary when they give ear plugs. Paid &40 a resort fee thinking it would be golf -like. Seems it’s was for a indoor water park

Thank you for staying with us at Bavarian Inn Lodge. Our waterpark expansion project is immense and expected to be completed by the end of the year. While the noise is minimal, and confined to daylight hours, we understand that some of our guests are sensitive to an array of sounds. Many guests welcome the earplug option.
