Top hotels in University Center
Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth
The hotel room was clean but a little dated. The new water park is lovely. There is a wide variety of slides for different ages and levels of thrill. The adult’s only hot tub and swim up bar were nice and secluded away from the noise of the rest of the park.
