I like the idea of this hotel more than the reality. I went with my 2 sisters for a girls weekend. We tried to use the “adults only” pool and hot tub, but the pool was too cold and the hot tub was at capacity with only FIVE people already in it, so we went to the big hot tub. It was Sunday night so we hoped there wouldn’t be too many kids. There were still a handful of kids at 9pm on Sunday night, but it wasn’t too bad, however, the water was only lukewarm and the chemicals burned our eyes. After that we went to our rooms for a bad night’s sleep on beds that were too small for 2, and really bouncy moving every time someone shifted position. We had breakfast at Oma’s which was pretty good tasting, but overpriced. A side of fruit is 9.50 and the $5 hot cocoa was tiny. Sadly, I don’t think we will stay there again. It might be fine for a family trip with small children and a king size bed.

We had a fantastic time! The room was very clean and waterpark was a blast! A little cold in the evening at the Waterpark. I wish they would have the air temp and water temp a little warmer. During the day it seemed perfectly fine though. All in all I would definitely go qgain!

I booked the same size room as last year for our Anniversary. I even ordered a bottle of wine with 2 glasses as a surprise and the front staff blurted out here are your charges for the wine you ordered ! So no surprise there Last year the room was very large and spacious and cost me over $800 Canadian This year same size room and cost , but the room was a standard king size room with a very tiny bathroom where the door almost contacts the toilet . My wife was upset with ME because l booked it and when l brought this to the attention of the front desk l was told nothing they can do …… they were sold out. They also mentioned because l ordered my stay through a third party ( Expedia) that Expedia doesn’t show proper room sizes and info is lacking , but same reservations as last year just a different outcome for some reason this year. I feel l overpaid for a standard room and would never pay over $800 Canadian for a 2 night stay in a standard king size room. This ruined my Anniversary stay and will not take a chance and return as l do not trust that l will be receiving what l am paying for . I’d like an explanation of why this occurred and why l paid so much for a “ plain” smaller room .

Our stay at the Bavarian Inn Lodge was absolutely fantastic. All of the staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The hotel room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The entire facility was spectacular — there was something for everyone to enjoy, no matter the age. From the beautiful surroundings to the great amenities and family-friendly atmosphere, it truly exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to visit again and highly recommend the Bavarian Inn Lodge to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable getaway!
