Definitely need more available parking, especially for families staying 2 or more nights. The wave pool was nice, the lazy river needs more speed. Also while we were getting breakfast before we checked out, the maids came in our room and started to clean threw out pur hotel keys which we fished out of the trash.

Not for toddlers

New water park did not meet expectations. Originally booked room for 2 nights to take two-year-old granddaughter. Unfortunately, there's nothing for a two-year-old to do Due to adults not allowed to take children down slides and her being too short to use any slides on her own. Personally was hoping for a splash pad for toddlers or an area for smaller children, very disappointing for the price we paid.

I paid almost $800 to stay here, I heard si many complaints about being that expensive and not even have breakfast included, for the Sunday buffet, I called 2 days ago to check if we have to make a reservation and they said no, when the time came, we went to try to eat and they said we need a reservation, poor communication, super expensive to not even have breakfast included, bedrooms nothing of other world, but I would suggest to take the pictures that are in the walls, so scary to have pictures of people that passed away already, again just a suggestion

The Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth is a great family friendly hotel to stay in. There are many dining options on site. There are several pools and hot tubs. The new water park is open. Mini golf, laser tag, and a ropes course all right in the property! For all the Polemon GO players, there are at least five Poke stops right in the hotel. Many many more pokestops in walking distance. I could spin stops with out leaving my room :-)
