“This is a great place to take your family, lots to do!”

Reviewed November 3, 2010

We enjoyed staying here. The pools are great, the indoor golf was a lot of fun and the family arcade was a big hit. The only downfall is the double size bed.

Problem with this review?

Thanks so much for staying with us at the Lodge. So pleased to hear about the FUN time your family had taking advantage of the Fun Center amenities. Our double beds are extra long beds (same as Queen length). I presume you would have preferred queen beds. Thanks so much for your feedback! Hope you will return again real soon.... More

“Two words: INSTANT COFFEE”

Reviewed November 1, 2010

We spent Halloween as a family at the Lodge. It was the first time we had stayed there. We have three children ages 10,6, and 4. First of all, the room was $154. We thought we had a deal as a fun family get away we could afford but we were wrong. We were nickel and dimes with clever marketing... More

Thank you for taking the time to share your observations regarding your Halloween weekend. I am sorry that you experienced odor issues in your guestroom. All smoking rooms were converted back in March, over 7 months prior to your arrival. All bed spreads, comforters, drapes and carpets have been cleaned. Even air ducts were cleaned by a special service as... More

“Bavarian Inn Frankenmuth has really gone downhill”

Reviewed October 17, 2010

Arrived to find candy pieces outside of our room as well as inside. Carpet in room clearly not vacuumed. Armchair with many visible stains of unknown nature on it. On bed linen opening, noticed bedsheets did not even fit over the end of the bed and blanket on bed nastily stained with who knows what. - had to call shift... More

I am very sorry for the details that are being provided. I am researching to see about your interaction with our Manager On Duty. With the anonymity held within this site, I am unaware of the date of your visit. The myriad of complaints is obviously a disappointment to me too. These particular type of complaints cannot be justified and... More

“Fun for the whole family”

We spent a weekend in August at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, had a blast. We have 2 boys, 17 & 11 and they both look forward to going back. There are 5 indoor pools to swim in, including an adult only pool, arcade games with tickets and prizes to go with, indoor minature golf, several resturants on the property,... More

Thanks so much for your kind words regarding your August stay at the Bavarian Inn Lodge. So happy that you appreciated the central location of the Lodge in relation to Frankenmuth River Place Shops as well as downtown Frankenmuth.

“Maybe I'm just too picky?”

Reviewed September 28, 2010

We paid almost $200 for a night here. It was my 30th birthday and myself and two girlfriends went and stayed. The guy at the front desk said he gave us an updated room. If it was updated, I would not have guessed. Before I go into my gripes - this is probably great if you have kids and want... More

My sincere apology for the condition of the towels in our guestroom. We purchase over 1,500 new pieces of bathroom linen each month and attempt to pull thinner pieces. I apologize as this must not have been the case for your stay. I will speak with housekeeping on evaluating all bathroom linen immediately to assure that worn or thin linen... More

“Nice Family Resort - Could use some updates”

Reviewed September 6, 2010

I attended this hotel with several other co-workers for a conference. I recommend you pull up to the front door and check-in first. This way if they assign a room in the back of the hotel, you do not have to carry your luggage back out to the car and drive around back. The walk to the back of the... More

Thank you for your kind words and detailed rating of the Bavarian Inn Lodge. We are a 360 guestroom property all under one roof. It appears by your comments that you would have preferred a guestroom that was closer to the Lodge restaurant, meeting rooms and adult pool. Please, upon your return, request to be located close to these areas... More

“Would have given it a better score if the bathroom had been better”

Reviewed September 2, 2010

We stayed for three nights in the oldest (25 years old) section of the hotel. The sleeping area was generally good - it was roomy, the mattress was comfortable, and it had a refrigerator that was quite large for a hotel room. The only problem with the sleeping area was that the pillows were so thin that they only had... More

I am sorry that you were disappointed in the bathroom in your guestroom. You are right in the fact that the original part of the Lodge is in fact almost 25 years old. But the design of the bathroom was done by Judy Zehnder, the owner. As a women, she wanted to design the bathroom so that the toilet and... More

“Great for families”

Reviewed August 26, 2010

Bavarian Inn was perfect for our family. Great location in Frankenmuth -- near all the attractions. More importantly, everything you need is right there in the hotel. The numerous pools, arcade area, and miniature golf in the hotel were great ways to have fun without having to travel very far. Breakfasts at Oma's Restaurant (also in the hotel) were tasty.... More

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so pleased that you took the time to express some parts of your positive stay with us at the Bavarian Inn Lodge. I too, love the Banana nut french toast!

“A Mixed Review”

Reviewed August 23, 2010

My husband and I just returned from the Bavarian Inn, and price-wise, we had a decent deal because we booked ahead on their website. We'd give it a mixed review. Overall, the facility is well-kept, and the external facade and grounds are quite pretty. Loving detail, such as handcarved oak accents, as well as attention to local history, showed that... More

Thank you for taking the time to share your feelings about your Summer stay. Also, thank you for your kind words about the public areas and the heritage that Judy Zehnder as owner is trying to share with our public. I am sorry that you feel the rooms are outdated.
