Always love coming here! I wish there was more parking or even just a shuttle on the weekends that can drive the the elderly to the main doors. It is a long walk for them having to park way in the back lot and walk up with suitcases, an umbrella, etc.
The check in line. I know it was opening weekend when we came and we didn't have to wait that long for as long as the line was but roughly 45 min or so. The adult only pool is so tiny. I almost feel like that should just turn into a cool bar section. I know the new part has a swim up bar but this one can just be a bar with maybe 10-12 tables / music/ adults only/ finger foods

Our bed and pillows were comfortable. The game room had plenty to do. Pools were clean. They had more thibgs to do now like Lazer tag and a rope course. My 6 year old wasn't interested but I could see this is great for Taking families with kids all ages. They have the family lounge open to purchase drinks, both alcohol and non alcohol options. We felt they had a nice variety of draft/craft beers. They have food here too, but we ate at a restaurant up stairs.
Wish there was more seating by the pools, it was a full capacity night, there wasn't many places to sit and watch your young kids In the pool. We ate at Omas, food was good, it did seem to take the servers a long time, I think they were doing Omas and the bar area next door. We were not upset, just feet bad they were running all over. Other customers were upset about how long it was taking for waiters to check back in though.

We stay here quite a bit and always love our stays. even with the construction going on everything was great and as clean as can be. everyone you deal with is extremely friendly and helpful. the newer arcade and prize area are amazing, and the kids loved the rope climbing set up, it would be nice for a better price for that though. our only complaint we have about Bavarian Inn is the beds. they need an upgrade for sure. When charging the rates they do i should expect a good night's sleep on a comfy bed. other than that, we are pleased as always and will most certainly be back in the future.

Friendly staff, clean facility. The complimentary coffee/tea in the lobby is much nicer than those dingy machines most hotels have in the room. Great water pressure in the shower.
The walls in the room are paper thin. We heard our neighbours talking and watching tv..etc. We were very aware that they could hear us as well, which made me uneasy. Incredibly slow service both in room and in restaurant. Our signature drink took half an hour to get to our table, and they were both missing key ingredients. The naughty snowman had no fugde rim, and the almond joyful was practically a shot (in volume). The glass was nearly empty like it had spilled or been drunk. They were very disappointing for $14 drinks. Dinner took an hour and a half, and the restaurant had 5 tables.

Everything was so close with plenty of sidewalks, etc to get everywhere. Huge selection of stores for shopping, places to eat. The Golden Ticket Trolley was wonderful and the guide was just Fabulous! So much fun. The shops inside the Bavarian Inn Lodge had a huge variety of items, I was able to get a couple of Christmas gifts there. Staff was great, very friendly and helpful.
I stayed in the tower part which was right beside where they are building the huge waterpark, so it was quite dusty and noisy from that (hotel gave us earplugs). And not enough parking space due to construction. It will be wonderful for families after it is finished, which is supposed to be yet i

Loved the comfortable king sized bed and the theme of the hotel. Check in staff was very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to covered bridge and downtown. Educational bits on the television was extremely informative. Enjoyed the spa and the pool.
Small bathroom, body wash by sink outside the shower to use to wash hands, Brochure stated that arcade was free for one hour each day only to find out that you had to buy a card for a dollar to play. Wasn't stated anywhere, had to find out from another hotel guest. Towels by hot tub would have been nice. Parking lot was full on a Thursday evening. Wish hot cocoa was offered along with the coffee bar for those of us that don't drink coffee.

The room was exceptionally clean! (The management is to be commended on the cleanliness and start training other hotel managers!) The bed was super comfortable with high quality sheets. Because we were there on a Sunday night, the construction crews were not present till the next morning. Dinner was just okay, in my opinion, due to just fast food downstairs. Monday morning breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
Signage! Lack of sign directing me to the office. I had to ask other travelers where the office was. I then had to walk from one entrance to the office entrance with my cane. Distances inside the hotel to the restaurant from where our room was was in the wing near the Water Park were substantial with a number of corners.

Great property for family fun. Outside property beautifully maintained. Lovely river view. King spa room has a large relaxing tub. Very close to town. Just a short walk to bridge. Over the bridge- bavarian inn restaurant- very busy but delicious food. 
Dated dark hotel. Furniture in King spa room was worn. Very crowded front reception desk area. Overpriced. * It’s not necessary to have personal baker family pictures beside your bed a little bit creepy

Lots of activities for children. We didn’t have any with us but still enjoyed our stay. The location is superb, grounds are lovely, decor great and staff was pleasant. Rooms were large. Breakfast in Oma’s restaurant was good but a little pricey.
Please put a Keurig type coffee maker in each room! It is not enough to have one microwave on a floor with a line each morning to heat water. I appreciate the free coffee and tea in the lobby however I would have loved a cup while getting ready in my room and I’m not interested in going to the lobby after rolling out of bed in the morning. Lorelei Lounge could use some updating.

Went with our family. New water park is AMAZING!!!! Room was a hotel room, nothing exciting there.
Calling was AWFUL. I wanted to call to get a birthday package and I was on HOLD for over 30 minutes before I requested a call back. I only received a call back after sending an email. I was also on hold for over 10 minutes with the operator waiting to check out in the morning. If you are going to be that busy, you should probably have more people to answer the phones.
