Refresh of carpet and other items normally upgraded frequently. These look ancient! AC wasn't working! Thetly fixed it but why waste my time coordinating? Room wasn't cleaned as promised. Will pick Holiday Inn next time. Good place for kids with play things to do. Expedia deleted my reservation. A mystery of how much I paid. My wife and I experienced discrimination at one local restaurant. Our idea of camping is Wynn Tower Suites. We heard whole area is owned by one family...seemed to be somewhat a cultish feeling there...will never return.

Bavarian inn is just not what I remember

It was supposed to be a premium room , couch was worn out and contained some sort of possible body fluid on one arm. Bed mattress was worn and slanted. Bathroom to tiny and service at hotel bar was extremely slow and felt almost completely ignored. Restaurant service was wonderful.

We killed a cockroach in our room. The entire hotel is very dated. Lots to do for kids. If you do not have kids, wouldn’t recommend. Was very walkable to everything which was nice.

What an amazing place! The Lodge is huge, complete with restaurants and waterparks. Great place to take a family with young kids. Rooms are comfortable and clean, if a bit dated. The staff was wonderful and helpful. And if you get a chance, take a walk along the river in Heritage Park. It's very beautiful on a sunny day and the Willow and Locust trees are amazing!

We just did an overnight visit... so we did not use the water park facility... which is really something! The hotel is VERY LARGE. So plan to do a lot of walking between indoor dining, front desk, room and restaurant. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The walk to the shopping area is lovely... crossing a covered bridge on property. The hotel is geared towards families and those arriving to visit Bronners Christmas. The hotel is very clean and offered a comfortable room.

We had a great time! Rented a scooter for my Mom for 2 days at a very reasonable price. The hotel immediately gave a new one when there was an issue! The pool, waterpark, and funzone were all fantastic. We just wish there was coffee in the rooms, instead of the centralized locatiins. Overall we wiuld DEFINITELY come back and stay here!

The Bavarian Inn was amazing! Even though we didn't have kids and weren't at the hotel for the water park, there was still so much to see at the hotel and around it that we had a great time. The personal touch of suites having local people and their history on the walls really touched us. Our suite was very comfortable... loved the whirlpool! Staff were amazing, caring and always interested in us. The local restaurant was good, and the brunch we attended was great food!
