Adult pool way too cold

The worst thing was we stayed at the Bavarian Inn .we always stay at hotels that have an indoor pol. We love to swim but dont like the sun that much so the big draw was the adult indoor pool. It was too cold Shouldnt have to wait 15 min for your body to acclimate. Spoke with hotel manager she was going to give us 50.00 credit off our bill but couldn't as i used this site to book. We won't be booking throuhh your site ever again ! Not worth it.we could have saved s lot of money dataying elsewhere but we wanted the adult indoor pool not to mention we drove over 350 miles .bery disappointed!!

My husband and I took our children and had an awesome experience. We loved the Bavarian Inn and all of the amenities. The shops were great and all within walking distance. The whole vibe of the place, was amazing. The water park was fabulous, there were pools and hot tubs around every corner. We will be returning in January.

While the family themed rooms and backstories of Frankenmuth families are a cute idea, it's a little unnerving to have a picture of the family hanging opposite of us while in bed. Especially, as my daughter said, typical picture of a Dateline NBC family. And since it's nailed or glued to the wall, we tried putting a towel over it. Maybe hang the picture at the entryway of the room, if need be. Other than that, nice time!
