Hotel needs a upgrade, looks like the property is stuck in time. Also, hotel maid staff failed to vacuum our room. The beds definitely need to be upgraded

We visited for 3 nights and 4 days in July 2026. Bavarian Inn property is huge. We found it to be a little confusing as to where to go for check in. Check in is located near Oma’s Restaurant. There is no clear sign as to where to go for check in. It would’ve been helpful if there would’ve been a sign that clearly said.”Check in”. Clean property, clean, comfortable rooms, bed is very comfortable, refrigerator and microwave were nice to have in the room. Property restaurants are very expensive for a family budget. Ratskeller Cafe located in Arcade area served up a decent pizza, 16” pepperoni for $23 bucks. Service was great! We ordered carry out at Oma’s restaurant because they were short staffed and couldn’t seat us. Two 1/2 pound burgers with fries was decent but not all that special for $40. We had dinner at Zehnders one evening. The meal was served family style. Pay one price for all you care to eat. $69 for the two of us. Chicken dinner, they offer other options but everything is served family style, no individual meal choices offered. A lot of carbs. We felt like all the food lacked seasoning. The service was good. The Inn’s huge Arcade and game room is very entertaining! Waterpark is ginormous! There is an “adults only” pool and whirlpool located near the front desk area. Our stay at the Bavarian Inn property, visiting the River shops, and Bonner’s Christmas Shop made for a nice getaway vacation trip. We would definitely recommend a visit to the Bavarian Inn!

We really enjoyed the mini putt, although also kind of run down and in need of a spruce up. The ropes course was fantastic and the staff there was awesome and really focused on safety. We will be back!

Absolutely was nervous about not booking directly thru Bavarian Inn’s website but for $100 cheaper I took the risk and going before forth of July! Everything went smooth and it was a great time. I will definitely be booking again soon!
-
The staff was so friendly and the facility was clean and well-maintained. The only negative was the waterpark and pools were very crowded— but it was also the hottest week of the year!

Extremely helpful staff, comfortable beds and great atmosphere

Love the new remodel great place to take the family

Abby our server at the Bavarian Inn restaurant was amazing.
-
I liked the quietness of the room, the space that was the n there. The hot tub bath was the best part. Everything was there no need to drive. Loved that it had its own private pools and hot tubs just for the guests. Overall experience would definitely stay there again.

Perfect place to stay with my 5 yr old grandson. Everything was clean, food was great and staff friendly.

We loved our stay and will absolutely be back! Our room was very clean. We visited with our 8 week old and 3 yesr old toddler. The property was fantastic. The water park was excellent, very clean, lots of slides for the toddler and the water did not feel heavily chlorinated

So clean and everything was close

Room was clean,Staff friendly and my boys love the waterpark

Did the Bavarian Inn lodge because of the balcony. Room was big, but bathroom is small. Was fine for us but if you need more room in bathroom look into different room accommodations. Rooms are very insulated. Didn't hear a sound from room next to us. Lots for the kids to do. We did a pool day the first night. Did game day ( they did laser tag, climbing the wall, high flying rope, and arcade. Last day baverian blast that's in all day adventure. Spent 9 hours enjoying the slides and different pools.

There was lots to do and staff was very nice

My husband and I stayed at the Bavarian Inn for three nights. We should have researched more because we didn’t realize it was also a water park and it was more of a family place to stay. The only issue we had was with the cleaning of our room. It was cleaned 2 of the 3 days due to our room being the last to be cleaned of the day. We did leave our room for hours at a time, but when we returned it still wasn’t clean , so we had to leave again and wait. The second day they must have run out of time because it was not cleaned at all.
