My husband and I travelled to Frankenmuth after Christmas with my 85 year old father. We booked 2 king size bedded rooms. We were very surprised by the cost, the lack of TLC the hotel appears to have and how little was included ( no breakfast). We found the hotel very tired and rooms badly in need of updating. In...

I have stayed at the Lodge many times taking advantage of perk club specials. I had issues with this visit and spoke to Mr. Engel, C.O.O. which enlightened me in ways that may help other guest. If you have a problem it is your responsibility to make clear how you feel things should be handled. If a manager offers a... More

We have a family reunion gathering here every July for the last 7 years and we always stay here. Lodge is impressive but the rooms are smallish and even with the recent update still seem dated. WiFi is spotty, TVs are small, and thin walls make it pretty noisy. My kids love the pools and the mini-golf but the pool... More

I've stayed at the hotel numerous times and find the hotel to be extremely clean. The staff is always very friendly and accomidating. Several places to eat within the hotel or even outside the hotel and most eatries are walking distance. I typically stay at the Lodge when there is a Hotair Balloon event and all the pilots and there... More

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at this wonderful lodge. Our room was near the elevator in the main section, so we could be near the adult pool and restaurant. There is a tower section good for families with children and many pools and games. The room and food, especially the walleye was very good. More

I am going to stay at this hotel very soon. I have read quite a few comments on this hotel. I have stayed here 2 other times and have not had a problem at all. I am curious as to what may have changed over the past 2 years. I will be there on Superbowl Sunday and will post my... More

Wow... first ever post about the hotel prior to your arrival. Thanks so much for your kind words M. Gilbert! We look forward to your stay. You may want to visit the Ratskeller during the Super Bowl evening as many of your staff are going to take in the game on the big screen TV being installed for the event!... More

We go to snowfest every year with a big group of people. Staying at the Bavarian inn Lodge is close and you can walk downtown to all of the attractions. The rooms for this weekend are overpriced at about 199.00 a night. We expect it to be more than usual but it is an old Hotel. Snowfest itself is a... More

Thanks for staying with us during Snowfest! Thank heavens for the ability to "make snow" with the mild weather we have had! Sculptures certainly were wonderful as you say! I am glad you had fun during your stay. We do have additional management here on every night that is busy with large numbers of children, very few noise complaints were... More

My wife and I have been coming to the Bavarian Inn since January 1988. We have been Perk Club members for years and have encouraged many to do the same. We have taken advantage of Perk Club specials too many times to count. We have received excellent customer service in the past and have been guests during times when issues... More

Dear LWM2011: I am sorry that my long conversations together after these situations and my apologies for the circumstances that occurred were not satisfactory to you. I have in fact met with and mentored the manager involved. I would like to clarify one fact brought up. I found out the reason the guest gave you an inappropriate gesture is because... More

This is a hotel that is within walking distance to all of lovely Frankenmuth's downtown/Main Street. The hotel is top notch. The rooms are clean and lovely, and of course with the great Bavarian charm and decor. There are restaurants directly in the hotel. The awesome thing is that there is SO much to do directly in the hotel, and... More
