Very nice place. Rooms were nice and clean. I didn’t like that our room door was wide open when we first got there. It kinda threw me off. Other than that it was a nice clean trip

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about our experience here. I feel like this is half of the experience of Frankenmuth. My kids didn’t want to leave and I have to agree with them. It was such a nice place to stay. Clean rooms, friendly staff, And I really appreciated everything they had for the kids to do. This is our preferred place to stay when going to Frankenmuth and won’t be changing any time soon

The photos on the hotel website don’t do it justice. We tried this property based on a recommendation from a friend, and it was fantastic!! The amenities are great! We travelled with our 2 sons, ages 9 & 11, and we all had a great time. The lower level of the hotel is full of family friendly entertainment with arcade areas, a 3-story ropes course, laser tag, mini bowling, mini putt, and hotel guest-only pools and hot tubs. The hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful, and delivered a rollaway bed in less than 10 minutes after our request. Oma’s restaurant was great, and they provide a nice room service menu for all meals and late-night snacks. There’s lots of options for food, sweets (ice cream shop in the lower level) and onsite bars. The water park was fun with several large slides, a wave pool, lazy river, and lil’ kid fun zones. Food and alcohol are available, along with locker rentals for a fee (though I find $17 USD is too expensive for a small locker). There are lots of tables and seating available in the water park for a convenient dry spot to eat (or enjoy some vacation drinks while the kids go on the water slides). The River Place Shops, Zender’s restaurant & marketplace and all the downtown shops are walkable from the hotel. The parking lot at the hotel is massive but super full from hotel guests and day visitors, so it’s best to use the unload area at the entrance then park wherever you can find a spot to avoid a substantial walk with luggage in tow.

We are making this a tradition every year before my son’s race down the road at Baja Acres. This place had the best water park. The ropes course was so much fun for my son’s first time and a great bonding experience. The arcade was so big and fun for all ages. We even bowled in the arcade! It was incredible. We cannot wait for 2026!
