Amenities were amazing , waterpark was worth it . My whole family had fun there for our early Christmas . I wish the waterpark was open earlier as my Toddler is up at 7 AM and the waterpark doesn’t open until 10. Also another thing , which was not the hotels fault at all , but the room next to us was extremely loud , sounds like they were celebrating a birthday but at 1AM they had music blasting and singing . I did call the front desk who came , and afterwards it was silent there

Our stay was great, but our room was not as clean as expected. We had food (leftovers) trash from previous guests left in our window-sill and there were hand prints all over the mirror on the wall. Odd (obvious) things to have missed when cleaning a room.

We spent two nights at the Bavarian Inn Lodge, and overall we were really happy with our stay! The location is great; right beside the River Place Shops, and the building itself is massive, with tons to do: multiple pools, water slides, arcades, games, and even a huge indoor waterpark. It’s an awesome spot for families. We loved the Bavarian theming and architecture throughout the lodge. Service was solid too; everyone we spoke with was friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious with a very comfy bed, plus a mini fridge with a freezer, microwave, and a couch. You also get a bunch of coupons for activities in the area, which is a great bonus. One thing we really appreciated was the adults-only section, a quieter area with a pool, hot tub, and a billiards table. Perfect for unwinding after busy days exploring Frankenmuth. Overall, a super enjoyable stay and somewhere we’d happily return to.
