A great location for staying in Frankenmuth if you want to be right downtown for all the holiday festivities. The breakfast was your typical hotel continental. The room was very clean and welcoming, the shower was excellent, the beds were nice enough. The pool was very clean and warm and the hot tub was definitely welcome after walking the town in the cold all day! I wish they had a bottle refil station.

This was a lovely place to stay! the room was very clean when we first got there and the staff was very friendly, especially the young lady that was working the breakfast shift! the breakfast that is offered was really good and had a great variety! (scrambled eggs, pork sausage, bagels. bread, you can make your own waffles, cereal and yogurt) My boyfriend and i enjoyed our stay and it is a nice 30 minute walk to bronner’s from the hotel, if you’re worried about how the parking will be and hesitant to walk or drive. I will definitely keep this place in mind for future bookings and will recommend to friend and family!

Nice, clean hotel with comfortable rooms and a pool/hot tub. Its also super close to The Bavarian Inn restaurant, Splash Village and Bronners Christmas store. Lots of cool shops right there too for all kinds of shopping.

Best hotel stay my family has had in a long time. The staff went above and beyond. Front desk helped me fix the mess Priceline created, and a housekeeper helped me with feminine products from her personal supplies because the hotel didn’t have any. I am very thankful for both staff members helping make sure we were comfortable. The pool wasn’t too cold. I couldn’t get the whirlpool jets to turn on but having access to a hot tub was my personal favorite of our stay. 10/10 was a great stay! Also restored my faith in humanity a little bit.

The location is what makes this place good. Not an exception hotel by any means, but definitely clean, good smelling, and located right at the edge of the main drag in downtown Frankenmuth. It’s always going to be expensive during the holiday season which basically starts when the leaves change color, so even though it wasn’t near Christmas time yet when we visited, it was still pretty pricey for a room, however, we found that we’re didn’t need to make a reservation 3 months ahead like we’ve found for the other popular hotels in the area. The service was good, the linens were nice, the bed was comfy.

An older hotel but it well maintained. Our room was nice, nothing spectacular. The breakfast was ok not great. The matrress needed replaced as it was very soft and lumpy.

Here for a pleasure trip with family. Room nice, but. Shower head was 10 inches below my chin, exhaust fan roaring, yet more moisture was on the mirror than came out of the shower head in near a minute. Two queen beds for the 4 of us, but only 2 towels. Empty hair conditioner bottle with no individual bottles. I understand the 2 ⭐ rating within this context, but with a few adjustments it is could have been so much better an experience.
