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 :-)

Fun, but needs staffing, organization, and signage

Arrival and check-in didn't start well. Loooooooong check-in line, and got even longer after. Guest information is not very well organized, with seemingly limited staff to answer phones. Adding to that stress, the facility is very large. Signage is not promininent. The parking lot makes little sense (again, nebulous and poorly signed). As far as value, the waterpark seems to be what you are paying for. The waterpark is new, fun for kids, but LOUD at busy times. Seems in need of some sound mitigation, hopefully that is planned. The older pool and waterslide are nice as a lower-key option. Overall, I likely would not stay here again unless the water park was the sole reason we are here. And then likely not, as check-in and getting settled should not be this arduous, even at busy times.

The hotel room was small but good. We have an electric vehicle that was a little difficult to charge with only 3 usable charging stations downtown. Kids loved the new waterpark but bathrooms in Waterpark were not clean at all.
