Holiday Inn Express Birch Run - Frankenmuth Area by IHG
Breakfast was a great variety. Hot tub was cloudy. A bit run down for a Holiday Inn but they appear to try. Overall a decent stay but a bit pricey for the place.

Americas Best Value Inn Birch Run
Older hotel. Great location, beds were comfortable, water was hot and pressure good for showers. Breakfast is basic. Sad to see the waffle machines have been replaced with a pancake machine. Will stay again.
