Property was clean and well maintained !!! Many activities for small and old children. Water park was one of the best we’ve been to. However, signs as your drive up are lacking and front entrance hard to find, and not a lot of parking in close proximity to water park rooms. Overall, will definitely be returning !!!!

We had a great time at the Bavarian Inn! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly, the food was delicious, especially the famous chicken dinner and there were so many fun activities to enjoy. We were at the water park mostly and explored the shops nearby. This water park is amazing! It is the largest one I've been to and has plenty to do. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and family entertainment, and we’re already looking forward to going back!

Enjoyed mostly everything and the inn was bigger than I thought. The downfall was having a family of 4 or 5 next door with kids screaming, yelling, playing with faucet, opening/ closing the doors until 1am when I had to report the issue. The parents didn't even bother to tell the kids to keep the volume down. There's no consideration of others around them. Other than that and had I known about the place & its amenities, I would've booked a second night BUT request a different room.

The front desk staff was not friendly or helpful. I made a mistake when reserving a room and arrived one day prior to my reservation date. They had vacancy and were willing to allow us to have a room on the date of our arrival but would not work with me and move the reservation to the actual arrival date. They quoted their cancellation policy and I had to pay for 2 nights even though we only stayed one night. I was traveling with my grandchildren who were looking forward to using the indoor water park. I asked if they would refund 1/2 and they refused yet when I spoke with a supervisor the next day, she said they should have just moved the reservation from one day to the actual day of arrival. Staff was cold, unfriendly and unwelcoming. My grandchildren sensed the unfriendliness from the staff and still talked about it when they got home.

Room was spacious and comfortable but bathroom area was tiny. Also there was a shuttle but didn't seem to run very frequently so there was a lot of walking all around the property to get to everything. Otherwise a fun stay.
