This place has it all. Nice waterpark, outdoor pool, indoor pools and hot tubs that are separate from waterpark, arcade area, dining options, putt putt, bowling, gift shops, rope course, rock wall, laser tag, and more. Easy walk to river place shops. Your family will not get bored staying here.

For a room of that price I would have expected there to be a hairdryer and an in room coffee maker. We did not expect it to be as crowded and honestly it was touted to us as a Christmas destination of which Bronners was the only Christmas we saw.

We only have great things to say about this property. The place is impeccable when it comes to cleanliness and customer service, everyone we encountered was friendly. We enjoyed playing yard games out front while listening to the live entertainment and of course the kids 15&16 had a blast in the water park. We feel prices at the resort where fair giving it’s a tourist town. Everything is within walking distance and easy to navigate. Multiple restaurants are on site and have a good variety of items to chose from in addition to multiple arcades, sweet shop (ice cream and fudge) ropes course, wall climbing, mini bowling, mini golf, pool tables, adult only pool not only in the waterpark but also in the main hotel as well as another family pool and 2 water slides. Gift shop has convenient things you may have forgot at home along with drinks and snacks. Build a Bear is on site also for the littles. Don’t second think it…..hit that book now button.

the parking was scarce due to people using up all the parking for the water park and those that were stay over guests had to park way out. The food at Bavarian inn resturaunts was not very good and very high price. Food tasted freezer burned and over cooked. Omas was ok food but a ridiculously high price........rooms were quiet and clean. staff was curtious and friendly. couldnt walk the grounds really due to people walking around smoking pot which made it a not so nice leisure time.

The hotel is beautiful. The pools, water park and gaming area are all 4star IMO. The dining is great. Entertainment wise for families you cannot beat this location. Especially, in this area of Michigan. However, the rooms are disgusting! The ceiling of our room had inches of dirt on it going to an exhaust fan! It likely has never been cleaned. There was dust all over everything. The bed smelled terrible. I called for clean bedding. I had to clean the Jacuzzi before we could get in, there was stuff all in it. The night staff who came were incredible. They gave us credits and apologized. They said the morning management teams would be down to handle the problems, but they never cane. We left the next day. If we return, we will pack more cleaning supplies. Bonus*** NO BED BUGS** yep, I checked everywhere!
