Convenient location but questionable cleanliness
Pros:

I’ll start with the pros: great location in Frankenmuth and super close to all of the shopping. Breakfast set up and offerings were amazing. The morning breakfast and front desk staff were friendly. They turned on the train for our kids to see above the check in desk. The front desk staff even got me a shopping coupon book to use even though I should’ve gotten one when I checked in. They do have an indoor pool (no hot tub in case you wanted to know). Love the lobby with the fireplace and coffee. We like to come play board games at night with our kids and they had a lot of tables and even some coloring pages which was super cool.

Cons: the pool was gross. I counted 2 bandaids laying around, 4 gross hair clumps floating in different parts of the pool and what looks like black mold on the ceiling due to the condensation. When checking in I was barely greeted. Give me your card, fill this out and here’s your keys. No information about anything else like best spot to park, breakfast hours or are you shopping here is some awesome coupons to use. There was hair in the shower, a hygienic swim suit panty liner in the dresser drawer, food and crumbs but no bedding in the room for the pull out sofa, and mold in the bathroom because there’s no bathroom fan. The shower has 2 settings in the shower head: jet propulsion to slough off a layer of skin and water hose trickle that keeps closing the drain so the tub kept filling up.

When searching for hotels I typically go IHG or Hilton Home 2 because I know they can fit my family. I picked this hotel specifically because of its location to the shopping. Next time I would probably pick the Home2. I did see a couple of signs about some changes and a remodel coming up so hopefully they will be able to update this property and clean it up.

Our stay was perfect
Pros:

Breakfast was delicious and lots of options. The room was very spacious and clean. Location was perfect right across from river place plaza. Having a pool was great too. Plenty of lights in the room and the bed was awesome. I melted into the pillows!

Cons:

There was a bandaid on the floor by the pool and hair clumps in pool so pool area could use maintenance every couple of hours

Great short getaway for our anniversary! #42
Pros:

It was so close to the center of Frankenmuth. We walked every where we went. Great shops and places to visit. ...and then of course there's Zehnders and Bavarian Inn. Yum!!

Cons:

Was still a bit cold outside. But hey, it's Michigan in March. I've lived in this state all my life, so nothing I wasn't expecting. Still nice enough to walk around.

Would stay here again
Pros:

The breakfast was wonderful. Many options to choose from and very kid friendly. Loved that they had low tables for them and coloring pages to keep them busy. Overall, would stay here again in the future.

Cons:

Just as a fyi, there is no hot tub and the pool is rather small. The hallway was kind of dirty (paper scraps, food crumbs). The staff were nice but didn't have many answers. I called ahead to see if we could check in early and was told yes. When we arrived, the room was not ready. I would have rather they told me the room was not ready and went shopping while I waited.

It was a fun and lovely hotel. Close to all the fun things in Frankenmuth.
Pros:

It's directly across from the river park shopping area and many shops. Bronners and Zhenders are close too. We walked to everything. We did drive ourselves to a restaurant we wanted to go to as well. The stay was to celebrate my daughters birthday with her friends. We walked to Riverwalk to get cupcakes and ice cream. Along with just general fun, sightseeing, and shopping. It was perfect!

Cons:

I couldn't get pillows for the pull out sleeper and had to ask for bedding for it as well. To me no big deal! Staff was lovely to talk with and my daughter had plenty of pillows so everything was just fine.
